Is there really a big difference between C32 & C55?

Is there really a big difference between C32 & C55?

From what I'm hearing, the C55 will be almost identical to the C32. The V8 power numbers are higher; but will it really out accelerate, handle, and brake my C32?

C55 Chernobyl Edition

It's a good thing you asked because, between the last post discussing this issue and your post, MBZ announced that a special Chernobyl Edition of the C55 will be built, with a 500 GW nuclear reactor powering it, in lieu of the usual internal combustion engine. I suggest that you be the first to rush down to your local MBZ dealer and ask to be put on the waiting list for this most-desirable version of the C55.

Delivery Date

You'll know when the "CC55" first hits the U.S. because the speedo and tach on your fossil fuel dinosaur will spin relentlessly. Your parakeet will die. Clocks will run backwards. The asshola cushion of your driver seat will heat up. Your wife will tell you that you haven't been spending enough on mods.

Nuclear Vomitmobile

The fusion/fission Vomitmobile would have 40-50 twelve volt outlets on the exterior of each front fender, allowing the disabled (especially lesbian or pseudo-lesbian cripples) to freely hook up to the side of my "clean energy" C32 CE to recharge their wheelchairs and RSUs ("Rapidly Shaking Units--AKA "vibrators"). This way, Governor Maria Shriver (and her beetch, Arnie) will give me tax credits and subsidize my capitalistic automotive excesses. In the end, the whole farging state of Schwartzifornia will go bankey-rotey anyways, so what difference does it make if the Vomitmobile spreads high wattage at the price of West Coast habitability?

Saturdays?

Maria says "No Saturday (fission/fusion) Drivers!" She is only angry because all 100 of the RSU plug-ins are being occupied by her friends and family.

Wednesday

No good. Wednesday is "hump day" for Maria (and Arnie). Given Arnie's "never took steroids" body and Maria's "living, breathing skeleton," Thursday will be Maria's day for rebuilding. Maybe Friday?

Friday Prep Day

The only problem with Friday is that Maria is busy testing and preparing all of the RSU's for Saturday. Don't want Auntie Mae's RSU frying her "special hairs" again.

FYI: I wrote in "Dolf Lundgren" on the ballot, as his wife apparently does not favor plastic, battery-powered apparati, but the beastard lost (one vote, including mine).

Chris Bangle is the chief architect of the C55. People love it so much they're talking about promoting him to CEO.

Dead Thread

TThe C55 v. C32 subject has been beat to death in other threads on this forum. This particular thread started out as a rehash, but we managed to lead it off into childish humor oblivion. Like mayonaisse jello, this thread should never have been started.

To finally decide the C55 v. C32 issue, we need to think like (prepubescent) males: Why don't we just run the C32 and C55 head on into each other at 40 MPH or so? The car that drives away is the winner.

New tangent to this stanky old thread: Which car would win the C-Derby and why? Any volunteers (or nominations) for drivers?

Thanks for noticing!

I agree. Actually, the only difference between you and I is that I freely admit that I am an ignorant idiot.

Sticking up for Vraa and Vomit by saying I haven't laughed over a thread so much in a long time. For me, the timing was perfect, my private life has been nuked and I'm trying to fight back. Yeah, it should have been in some other place but life is for living and this is just car stuff. Relax a bit. Stress is a bad thing.
