It's more than half your age and costs less than a new Civic.

Were you trying to make the kid cry? You're a bully. And he's older than you.

BALLIN!

I'm a nice guy so nobody really has any problems with me. Yes, I hear whispers of jealousy here and there...but I get more love than hate with this car, I can tell you that.

Mercedes don't get as much attention as they used to anyways. Its not like its a Lamborghini or something. Here, in Westchester County...half the population has an E class or a 3/5 series. Nobody cares. The only thing that will turn heads is if your car has rims or is completely modded...even then, nobody seems to care.

Yeah the same around here. I live like 15 mins away from the Princeton Mercedes Dealership. It seems everyone in my town has at least one Mercedes in their driveway.

I had a brand new CLK500 at 16...and I would often pull up to school in the SL55 when I wanted to put the top down or the Escalade if weather was bad. People made remarks, but it really depends on how you present yourself and if you're a stuck up pr|ck or a humble guy who is greatful to God for what you have been blessed with.

What an immature thread...
