JD Power & Associates has the MillBrand Forrest Runner SUV rated as "top in class" -- that bodes well for my resale value!

I've also had my eye on that sweet MillBrand Mamba (the 2007 model), but alas I haven't been able to put together that much money as of yet.

Mill, could you provide us with an update on future vehicle plans and possible specs? I hate having to wait until we see the spy pics in Road & Track or Car & Driver......

You shouldn't have trained panda bears to do your sweat shop work.
Let that be a lesson to you.

I hope the steering wheel is actually on the correct side.

You're an idiot. They only drive left side in britain.

Fabulous thread.

Make a detailed crash report with your matchbox cars, detaling the physics involved when it crashes.

what does which side of the road you drive on have to do with what side of the car the steering wheel is on? japanese cars are right side drive as well...

I was hoping to get the awesome Ferrari beater, the Millbrand Speedster, that does 0-60 in 1.5 seconds and has a top speed of 761 mph!

Did you import your car? That might have something to do with the confusion.

My car came from Europe, yes, but it was imported by the manufacturer. I simply drove it while abroad.

I, too, think that might have something to do with it, although I can't fathom how. They are alleging that I MAKE cars and the TREAD Act doesn't seem to have anything to do with importation.

;) They prob got your info slightly wrong,
they need to confiscate your Imported car,
and Crash test it.

I suggest you contact whomever helped to import your car; and follow up on this,
the Government has Humans that, If they make a mistake, don't like to admit it.

{ Is your car; maybe a "Gray area Import"? Also Known as a High Performance model thats not normally available here in the US?} :)

Mercedes USA imported my car. It is not a gray area import. It is the same car anyone else gets.

No, no, no.

Take the fall for actions that are completely your own fault after years of legal wrangling in the courts. Lose everything you have: Your house, wife, kids. Move from state to state, all the while continuing to post on AnandTech, gradually becoming more and more unhinged as you blame the government for all of your ills. Eventually, kick off a campaign for the presidency whilst ignoring the fact that even your own mother would not vote for you.
While the government should get most of the blame, a comptuer game deserves some of it.

Not bad, but my Mom couldn't vote anyway unless she can vote from above.

I visited a Matchbox sweat shop in China. It was pretty cool watching the automated paint booth that can paint like 30,000 cars an hour.

Yea right, you know the U.S. is the best place to be, when 23 year old college students can manufacture cars in their spare time. Not just a few, but hundreds. You're just in denial that you're jealous.
