What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1102 & BENKYO RADIO 1102. Here’s my review on Goodreads about MB AMG:

Out of the 4 major German-Enginneering Car Manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz is my least favorite.

Regardless, I have a story.

Remember that unbelievable rain storm we had in California last year? Where it started to rain so much, the drought was basically over in a matter of a few days? Well, we were on a family trip, and desperately trying to get back to California. We arrived at SFO, and flights to SMF were cancelled given how bad the weather was. We got a rental, and I told my wife, it absolutely has to be a German-Engineering Luxury vehicle. I wanted a BMW or an Audi, they were all taken, and because I am more at ease with full-size sedans than SUVs, we did not use a Porsche either. We ended up with an MB AMG 63 or AMG 250 (I don't remember the exact model but I'm pretty sure it was AMG). Now please understand, that the weather was horrific. It's 9PM PST late at night, we are all tired, and we need to get back to Central Valley California from SFO airport. After some complicated I.T. settings, I was finally able to connect my iPhone Spotify with the vehicle. I put on JETLAG RADIO 444, and headed straight back home. The storm was intense, the rain would not stop. We were driving through hills as high as mountains, and there were no rest areas. You could see everybody else on the road was basically scared shitless. Given my ability to stay utterly calm and concentrated while I listen to music while driving, I was perfectly fine, while my wife was tired, and our kid was in the backseat wondering if we had entered another dimension. Anyway, I drove and I drove hundreds of miles, we stopped at the nearby town by our town to take a bathroom break and eat some food, I even spilled some lemonade on my shoes given how tired I was, and headed home. This car protected me and my family, and thus I am very thankful. Lewis Hamilton drives a MB in Formula 1, and now we know why, these cars are simply amazing, even though they are the competition (I love BMW/Audi).
