There are companies that make custom battery cables with whatever ends and length you need. Never tried them, but I've heard decent things about this company: https://www.batterycablesusa.com/4-gauge-awg-marine-grade-battery-cable-with-ends

We do get it; we just call it the Lexus LX600.

I had a 2011 Infiniti G37S sedan with a manual transmission for about 7 years, 70,000 miles. Don't miss it at all. VQ37 was meh. Really buzzy, and mine liked to burn oil from when I bought it at 28000 miles. Transmission had a whine too. However, it had a pretty decent Nav system at the time...

I've been pretty happy with the OEM Mercedes wiper for my 1995 E320. It's made by SKF in Germany and it's a frame. They're about $15 online + shipping or $20ish at the dealer. Maybe look at a size chare: Mercedes Wiper Blade Size Chart and see if there are any older (Pre-00) Mercedes with the...
