Well the jump didn't work and I was getting edgy because of the heat, so she just called a tow and I left to go enjoy my hard earned ice cream!

im going against the majority of the board here in stating that i would have no trouble owning a bmw. their engines are to die for and the handling cant be beat.
why dont you guys like bmw's?

haha everyone is on the edge today.. kidna like me..
i just decided to wander over to my e-mail today and i see something from a special someone and i won't publish their names..
it said stuff how i am spoiled and arrogant and such and why my father didn't get the s600 if there is no wait on it..
couple reasons.. we just got a sl500.. is it asking too much to enjoy this car for a while? also arent first year cars a tad bit more prone to problems? yeah, i thought so.. why didn't we wait for a second year sl500, cuz my dad doesnt like the image of a 8 year old lexus.. lol
i know some of my messages are completely prone with spelling mistakes.. does that mean you have to insult me.. maybe its because i'm young and i chat a lot online and its gotten to me :P :P
why should i get off the boards till i turn at least 25? just because i am younger then you doesn't mean i don't know much about a topic.. how many 14 year olds can completely set up a wireless network and a wired one with 15 computers with encryption and all.. and build those 15 computers, and tech support them all.. what if i told you all those systems are dual processor amd's? just because i'm 14 does that suddenly make me computer illiterate?
and i belive i answered the last complaint in the beginning.. i hope yall hear me out on this..
sorry for taking up this space but i had to get this off my chest.. i talked to accord about this.. lol
btw JFawwaz, i think u should take lex400sc's ice cream.. give it to me.. i'll rub it! lol
the original message was
you spoiled young *****. you can't even spell!!! I've read some of
your messages your a real moron. Get off the boards till you turn at
least 25. What r u 14 -15 yrs old what do you know about life let alone
a real benz. If your dad is so rich and there is no wait for the 600
why didn't he get it??

Actually, I just enjoy arguing with owners of so-called "Ultimate Driving Machines." Just ask Marauder ...

The 535 isn't even that old and it's a piece of crap waiting for the owner to just let it die. If the problem was as simple as a dead battery, then it could have been any car, but because I couldn't jump it after numerous tries, it was obviously a more serious problem than just solenoid. Also if you heard the same horror stories I have from numerous BMW-owners turned Lexus-owners, you would develop a distaste for them as well. I also have four or five friends with BMW 3-series ranging from a 1996 328i to a 2002 M3 TT. I'm always hearing about their cars being in service. I also agree with Krispy K about "BMW mentality". My friend's roomate has a BMW Bavaria and him and his other friend with a Bavaria are convinced they drive the king of all cars. I had one of those douche bags in my car driving to a night club in the city and for an hour I had to hear his bull**** about how BMWs are God's gift to man. He was also critiquing my car the whole damn trip. I wanted to break his face right then and there I was so irritated. I've also had numerous run-ins with BMW as$hole drivers. This one guy pissed me off so bad I followed him to his house. Anyway, that's where I'm coming from.

Last one for now.....
LS 430 is not for eveyone styling wise (as I could not buy it or drive it) but a lot of people like cars with a large grill and lot's of presence. I think the Euro mag "EVO" calls it BEAST in apprearance.

Unlike the LS430, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class does not need to have a tuner slap on a body kit to make the car look half decent.
The S-Class looks and is extremely sporty, aggressive, powerful, while at the same time very serene. You just can't beat the looks of the S-Class, nomatter what body kit you throw on a LS430, the looks just cannot even compare to that of an S.
And now for some pictures of a real mans car:

Toog4me:maytag is the best selling machine and so is the Taurus,but it doesn't mean they are the best.If you want the best washing machine you get less popular Miele or Bosch,if you want the best luxury sedan with the best balance of performance
handling and comfort you get an S-class.
Western Europeans are a bit more serious about driving than 99.9% of Americans who are mostly dumb,numb and know nothing about high performance driving,and they(Europeans) are not interested in Lexus.The only people in Europe buying Lexuses
are London's Indian shopkeepers(for some reason it's a status symbol in their community)
