This looks like the CLK that was posted a while back on a tow truck because one of the wheels popped right off the ride. I'm sure this is your gf's car!!

Waste of time. But, did I follow it? Yep, like a cheap novel.

its actually a good thing hes leaving MB... he is a typical BMW owner... have driven many BMW's but none without major issues. He's a pathetic guy that is proud to say he didn't insult any other car but his own, and 3 posts later starts bagging our cars individually... loser first class

ow and I found his wife too:

Oh, and since we are talking about a BMW driver here...I embarrassed my friend in the 335i sedan again today on the way to work. Honestly, I am beginning to think he can't drive the thing. That car should be a good match for my CLK550. Maybe on a straight line form a dead stop he'd win, but we usually end up on a left turn from a two-lane onto a nice wide divided 4-lane. Today he had a huge head start (he was in front at the light, with two cars between us making the turn onto the 4-lane). I was right at 100mph when I passed him and he was not keeping up at all. And I know he saw me and floored it because I saw the big puff of smoke from his exhaust pipes.

I've been laughing all the way through this.
I hate to comment and bump this, but was a fun thread to read.

Yeah, I agree with Rudeney here.

What I see here is someone that has a very good sense of humor without having an angry tone. I was imagining C-A-T-S having his own Improv Show on this board. Everyone has their own experience and I enjoy listening to others that don't necessarily have the same views.

But I do agree with him on the leather. I've owned a BMW Z3 for many years and still own my BMW X5 that I bought new (I do prefer the Nappa leather; as they feel and look better than my CLK500).

This guy is the perfect storm for trolling.

1. Step 1, show up at a competitors forum with "legit" questions like, "why are these cars such pieces of ****".
2. Keep your cool and defend that you mean no animosity but you are honestly curious and want to know why their product is so terrible.
3. Offer empathy for them purchasing and owning such a terrible product.
4. Diabolically laugh to oneself.
5. Deflect numerous logical arguments thrown at you, counter argue against less logical arguments with even less logical points.
6. Return to forum to provide backhanded compliments, "im proud of you for not worrying about what others think"
7. Deny you even understand what trolling is
8. Keep the troll alive
And Pufftrees is spot on with above.

I STFF'ed "replace tail lights diy" and this was one of only 3 threads that came up. While none had any advice on how to replace my tail lights, this was the most entertaining!

I must agree here, judging from the pics, she tends to curb the wheels and bumpers there. My interior looks like brand new. It handles fantastic and has plenty more power than i even need, plus it is fun to drive! I am not 20, nor do i give a hoot about status. I don't need to tell people if i have money or not. I really don't think anyone cares.




I can't wait to get all my mods done so that i can have one of a kind.

Oh, and Mr. Wealthy Man, you need to get that cracked driveway fixed. Better yet, do it in brick instead of concrete. And you might want to look into a good lawn service. I'd be totally embarrassed to park my cars in those deplorable conditions!

LMBO. this is exactly what we were thinking.

I didn't notice how old this thread was at first, it had us rolling on the floor laughing for a couple pages. Thank you all for the laughs. I needed that.
It was all new to me.
