'01 CLK320
I'm 24 driving a '01 clk320. Thanks to all the hackers out there I can call myself a "security consultant" and make a decent income.

Now trying to get into the .com world - check out my site WorldLounge

I'm still trying to figure out how all these websites make money by providing free services.... maybe AOL will buy me out one day

Yeah what's wrong with that? If your parents offer to buy you a Mercedes would you choose to buy a Honda instead?

Heck no. You're right, I'd take the Mercedes. But if I was a parent, I'd make sure my "deserving kid" could at least write in a decent manner; that's something most of the "young adults" here can't seem to do. I mean, jeez, I'm no spring chicken and I'm supposed to depend on you all in my winter years???

Really? 'Cause I'm not. Earned every cent to pay for my CLK, plus the $20K+ I've spent in insurance, accidents, and mods since I bought it.

My parents love Mercedes-Benz and they believe that they[Mercedes-Benz] can last longer than others, safer, and better in general. This is the reason why my parents bought me the car. If you were me you would choose to buy a nice car like CLK too and people will insult you like they did to me. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but seriously, what can I do when people talk sh*t because I didn't buy my car? Sell it and get a Honda? I don't think anyone would do that, let's just be nice to each other.

i hear that bro

like i posted before i'm 19 drive a 02 C32. my sister is 23, drives a 2000 CLK320, my brother is 27 drives 97 528i and it will soon be an M5.

our parents bought us the car because they feel we will be safer in a MB or BMW or any Euro car as matter of fact. my dad was a individual car importer in Taiwan for 20 some years, so he knows what is good for us.

my parents gave us some choices like C-class or 3-series or A4 or X-type for me, CLK or SLK or Boxster for my sister, and 5-series or E-class or A6 or S-type for my brother.

my parents offer each of us two cars. i already used up my first one when i crashed my 2000 328CI last year. the C32 is my second car. my brother is still picking his second car, most likely it will be the M5. actually that is going to be my bro's third car. his first car was a red Civic back in Taiwan. as for my sister, she will probably trade in her 2000 CLK320 for a new CLK500 or something as her second car.

i'm very thankful that my parents treat us the way they do. hopefully i will be able to give them something in return in the future.

BTW my dad is considering trading his 96 XJ-12 for a S500.

I agree 100%... I have purchased several Mercedes on my own and can tell you, again, if you can afford it, why not put your kid in one of the safest cars on the road... Now, I remember seeing a photos submitted on a brand new CL600 with 19" Lowies and a full Lorinser kit- the kid was 19. This may be a little overboard but then again, I am probably a little jealous. Just a touch...

I didn't say this to insult anyone In fact, I'm only 19 and my parents are helping me out...I don't see nothing wrong if you take care of the car and don't take it for granted. I'm just saying that MOST of the kids our age get help from our parents, but NOT everyone...
