ML320, Looking for my S4
Around the World
Ok, I've been planning this trip for about 2 years now. Its a trip to forget about everything and go somewhere. The problem of making a dream real is the mony. I'm looking for sponcers for a trip from New York, U.S.A. to Hong Kong, China. Anybody have any idea how to rais about 20Grand? (20 grand= gas, food, hotels, police bribs::we all know a usa car in russia will be fun::, car repairs, videa camras, tape. I plan to create a website etc. Also any idea how to get from alaska to russia? thats about it for now i guess. The trip will be in 2008. Gota hit 18 for the trip. You guys will prob think i'm some imature kid, I'm not I've bin around. I've been to china 8 times, Did acting there. i've been around the world. If i get enough money i plan to upgrade my ML320 with a new suspenson before the trip so that it can hande the harsh conditions better. Well thats it for now. Wish me luck.

I don't mean to be offensive, but your spelling/grammar is horrible. I wish you good luck with your solicitation for money, but I don't have enough myself to help an "immature kid" - your words - on some fantasy joyride who can't use the english language any better than you do. I think you would make a pretty poor ambassador abroad for the USA. Grow up and go to college, and while you're there, take some remedial english courses!

Your IQ is 167? If this is true, congratulations! You are in a VERY elite fraternity - 99th(+) percentile.
I'm not UNintelligent, but I would commit a homicide (vehicular of course) to have an IQ that high.

Curiously, Dustin Hoffman came to my town in West Virginia to learn what it was all about to be an idiot savant. I used to have a customer who ran an Autism center, and the boy was her son. I met him briefly; he was pretty bizarre!

yes n no. autism can be simply be someone with under developed cognative
and learning skills. idiot savant can still be autism, but the person also has the
unexplainable ability to excel in areas where normally developed people require
much training....and where the autistic person had none. ergo lies the
interesting marriage of low IQ vs high IQ...in the same person.

I suppose the etiology of the various autisms is still only speculation(?)

I think your proposal and idea sound great (raise $$ for your trip around the world), and I wouldn't mind to help you. Probably not the whole $20K, but definitely anywhere 20-25% of that sum, that should give you a good starting point. Just share experience of your trip w/ us here.
Btw, those who're in the real estate business probably know: I'm selling the B.B (NY). Should make local headline once the deal close.

I also plan on pitching my idea to parts companies to get the parts to mod my truck. I'm currently designing the website. I'm also creating a route to take and figureing out how to get my car from alaska to russia. Also should i keep going when i reach Hong Kong. Should I keep going to England? I also plan on writing a letter to Moter trend, car and driver, road and track, Top Gear, Fifth Gear, etc about this to see if i can write an article for there magazine about the trip.
Thanks alot. also If you need to reach me my number is (347) 968- 3360
Thanks

When do you plan to do it? If around Oct this year, MB will be testing out the facelifted W211 CDI's, travelling from Paris to Beijing. I'm planning on joining that
. Maybe you should explore tagging on to that program somehow to save some costs and have some company (33 new CDIs in fact)? I'm also exploring sending my car to Malaysia, maybe doing a trip around Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam..nowhere near as adventurous as your plan but anyways it beats driving around this tiny town...Be sure to hit me up if ever in this part of the world, but remember, you'll be driving on a different side of the road over here
Good luck.
