Pioneer goes solo

[Oddball]

Oh lord, (why) won't you buy me a Mercedes (AMG) Benz?

Yes.
Technical Audio Devices, or Development, or something like that.
Like Toyota's TRD or Mercedes AMG, I suppose.

Wasn't that more like McLaren using Benz engines???

Credit -for that acapella singing- goes out to Janis Joplin, circa 1970.
There is a story on Quora that:

...And she went with a Porsche 356 Cabriolet...

...FWIW (remembering its source).

Well yeah she noted that she wanted "amends" and that all of her friends were driving the Porsches. So I guess the lord eventually gave her the what she wanted.

I had to buy me MB, sadly. No gifts. And AMG is just the package, not the engine.

I never "got" that song... And it doesn't rock!

The Pioneer situation reminds me of sports teams. The players change, the coaches change, sometimes they move to another city, and sometimes they even change their name when it becomes "politically incorrect", so nothing remains but the statistics & records. But... I guess at least they never change from one sport to another. I live in the Bay Area and I had a joke about the Oakland Raiders - Everybody used to say "Go Raiders" and then when they moved (twice), it was "Hey wait! Where are you going?"
