In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Folks can justify needing a compact car, an off-roader, a minivan or a pickup, but convertibles are the epitome of unnecessary. Nobody needs a convertible, or at least that’s what I thought until I drove the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE450 Cabriolet. I’ve always been a sucker for a convertible; my first car was a 2005 Saab 9-3 Cabriolet that I bought off Craigslist for $5,000 and that promptly drained my bank account then died completely. Ever since then I’ve been fiending for another hit of open-topped opulence, and then the CLE rolled up in my driveway.
