Your family is clearly fortunate to have you in the family, putting them ahead of yourself. Hopefully things work out and that you and your family can find peace, but you will know that you jumped at the opportunity to do the right thing.

Condolences to you and the family.

Hey bossman,

Though I've said it privately, I'll state it here as well, out of respect and sympathy: I'm sorry for your loss and wish you and your family nothing but strength and serenity during these difficult times. Don't know if you believe in such a thing, but I'm positive he's with you guys in spirit.

I'm sure you'll pop your head in here, and surely provide input on any question I may have that's C63 related.

As for the financial matters, anything that alleviates the already surmountable stress at this time, is surely very welcome and somewhat of a minute silver lining; the less things to stress about, the better.

Let me know when you wanna come to FL to get some sun and grab a few beers/screwdrivers.

-Raph

There she goes...

As you guys know, I sold this car to provide for my family. Well, last night my brother who I had in mind when selling to support while he gets back on his feet decides to hook up with my girl.

I really don't have words other than this. With the suicide, and this, and my past I have opened my eyes to the fact that only one person matters in this world and it is yourself. If you don't take care of yourself how can you possibly take care of others?

So, while I loaded up the c63 today all that happened was an opening for opportunity to get something sweet. And what will be even sweeter is at the end of the day I will do nothing but grow from this and come out the other end a better person and happy.

Here's to the next AMG

Sorry to hear that man...that's horrible. I wish you and your family the best of the luck moving forward and healing.

You've always been really helpful and informational around here and even via PM.

Try to stop by when you can! Take care!

WTF your brother did that?

Jeez man...rough streak is a severe understatement. Keep your chin up and remember you are in the right. Karma is a *****.

If you're ever in Norcal hit me up for a beer!

Well Purple, first off, sorry for your loss.

Secondly, I want to say this - I have not known you for a long time nor have I been officially "part" of this section. But what I've seen from you is strength and confidence in your words, and I know that you'll get through this all right. We all have rainy days, but never forget that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Everything will work out eventually, just keep strong. As one said earlier, God speed.

It's not like I'm trying to get everyone on board with my pity party here... It just sucks to be honest haha.

Seriously though. Eff them. All I care about is my Mom (mama's boyyyy) and so what's left is me to take care of. I'll figure something out to put a smile on my face.

So sorry for your loss man.... I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. It's awesome that you are putting your family (especially your mom) first. You have my respect for that sir!
You will be missed here... I surely learned a lot of stuff about our cars from your posts.
I'm sure good things will come your way sooner rather than later.... Keep pushing on!
And hope to see you in an AMG soon!

sorry to hear about the loss, suicide is terrible especially for those left behind. taking care of your mom is more important than any car.

terrible what your brother did, particularly with all thats going on....just take care of yourself and your mom and the rest will fall in place eventually.

Dude. That's harsh.

People do a lot of stupid and desperate things when they are hurting and not thinking clearly, and thats the only possible mitigating factor there. He's hurting and he's stupid. She has NO excuse tho lol.

Living well is the best revenge. Torque cures all that ails you, and you will pull fleets of Betty's in an E63S. The best way to get over someone, is to get under someone.
You know your assignment.

This. I kind of didn't want to come off pushing it, but there will be more girls and more E63S's to find without a doubt, he is right.

First things first... I just got back on the board after being gone for a bit. So sorry for your loss, Purple. I consider you one of the Deans here and a stand-up guy (which you proved by your good intentions toward your apparently scumbag brother and your family).

I've heard of sisters stealing each others' boyfriends but it's rare among men. So sorry.

Hope you will get through this and rejoin the community. Take care of yourself, go tap something that will make both your brother and ex jealous and live your life!

TC

Sorry dude.. move on.. she's not good enough.
E63S sounds good. It depends what you require on a daily basis. I'm looking at the new GLS or Audi's Q7 for a family SUV in the near future (fingers crossed).
Yes, first things first.. look after yourself first.
All the best bro.

Sorry for your loss bud. And sorry for having a ****ty brother and an unfaithful girlfriend.

You can't choose your family, but, you can choose who is a part of your life.

Time to buy yourself a new toy!
