im going to have to chime in on Chucky's behalf here. it didnt look like he was showing off at all. and he was only sitting down in front of his car. didnt look like a forbes shot to me. you guys just jealous he has a brand new car?

i did think it was weird though, because most dont like their picture on the internet. for the poster who said he was stuck in his office, my definition of success means not working for the man. i work my own hours.

i think he was showing off accidentally...anyone taking a picture in front of a nice car with a serious look i guess will be viewed as showing off...espcially the new s class..

Didn't you say in another thread that your parents bought you the S550? Not to be a buzzkill but Jonmartin bought his car himself, its a little different.

Jon the car looks great, congrats.

nice ride...congrats. nah, looked like a normal enough photo to me. just looks
like someone who is wanting to be identified with his car. showing off would be
wearing gold bling chains, a Rolex, and some hootchies on each arm.

props.

moze, i think you are doing just fine because i am sure the c-class is YOURS and you've worked very hard for it. when i was 21 i had a 1997 honda prelude and i was proud of it. i too was a working student then the payments were tough on me but i loved cars so much i was willing to make some sacrafices.

Congrats on the CL55, they are great cars! Let us not forget though, everything can change in a day, enjoy it, but don't take it for granted. I'm young and have worked hard for everything I have, but age is just a number, you could be 100 and it'd still be a cool car.
