But sometimes even if youre not arrogant your car can still get vandalized, some people will be jealous no matter what.

The real problem is the children of blue collar workers who are taught to hate the rich instead of applauding them for what they have worked hard to recieve and hoping to do the same some day. I know you will probably say that my son has done nothing to 'earn' his car but it is my choice how to spend my money and what eighteen year old would knock back a Benz for their first car, besides if he didn't drive that then hed have to take the SL and I'm sure that would cause an even bigger issue.

c'mon, that's just so mean.
tmushy, having a car can be seen from 2 angles.
1) the kind of car
2) the driver of car
so you got the nicest car on the road just like mine, yeah the only difference btwn us and everyone else, is that all other dudes stepping out of nice cars are all looking like they are 40, 50, 60 or even 70, noone close to our age has nething close.
Doesnt make me better, but the age has a big difference, for a 60 year old guy in a sl500 which is my dream car, he would trade it all to be 18 again and drive a pinto, but for a 18 year old to drive a s-class, although not a sl500, is out of this world, so you have to see how other people feel, luckily i am in a hick-like neighborhood and i'm nice to all of the kids and all. but in LA there must be mad haters.

Dude, shut the F*** up.
You obviously don't live in LA. An 18 year old in an S class that's basically stock and also not the current model year? That is not impressive at all. It is VERY hard to outdo anyone in LA.
Check out the BMW forums.. 18, 19 year old drives brand new M3's with extra $20k invested.
And also, for f*ck sakes, stop making statements about mercedes owners. If you EVER get a chance to attend a bnzsport or mbworld meet, you will see that MANY owners on the msg boards are under the age of 30 driving modified benz's
Your S class aint *****. My s class put yours to shame. My SL500 puts your to shame. My brother's 745i on 22's puts your car to shame. So stop trying to make yourself feel good. You're *******g small potato's.
Violence is RARELY random. tmushy obviously has people that hates his ***. That's why his ***** gets vandalized. He deserves every key mark, dent, broken window if his attitude on this msg board is any evidence of his character.
Stop trying to pimp your parents car and start saving up for college, little boy.

maybe you should get out more often and see the real world
nicest car on the road huh lol
there are 2 S600 and 1CL600 on campus driven by 19,20 yr olds that i personally know of. god knows how many others are out there
and guess what, its not used one, its the brand spankin new 2003 ones. costing over 150 gs
you think you are so cool because you have used S class that you probably bought for the same price i got my new C class. which is about 45 grand.
my dads friend auctions highend cars and since i know him i could a get used S500 for about 45 grand all fixed up, with clean titles.
with that money id rather get a brand new car.
your brag so much about ur car with cheap used upgrades from ebay it disgust me. people like your ****** *** ruin the benz name

MBWorld Fanatic!
This topic is too long for me to start reading now, but let me just put in my own 2 cents.
At my high school we had kids with civic and kids with Vipers. I went to H.S. from 1994-1998, so you can see the Viper couldn't have been that used. A Porsche 911 wasn't rare, nor was MB or BMW's. Of course plenty of people had beaters, but it was a large HS (3,000 students). I got a 1997 Mazda when I got my permit (at 16). It cost somewhere like $17,000 or so. I drove it for 2 years and bought my SLK230 in 1998 when I left school. There is no reason to have a car like that for high school. Any new car is just as reliable the first 2 years...Junior and Senior year.

shi*t, i wish i lived in LA
where i am from, there is mostly woods around, the nicest car i know a kid has is a senior girl who her parents bought her a 2002 MR2 spider, I also have a friend who his dad (owns gas stations) bought him a 98 Acura RL. Kids who actually buy there own cars have civics and golfs, and one kid I know has a 95 325i bmw with some external mods which used to be the hottest car in the parking lot of about 2000 students. In my dad's work place, a pharamceutical research place, the nicest car is a SL500, someone has a 745i, I think the multimillionaire boss who used to go there had a s600.

Yeah let's just end this. Besides, my old 1991 Toyota Tercel with cracked pleather owns ALL of you! Can't mess with my 13's and 95 horsepower. Maybe I'll go against Treynor's RENNtech S600...

Aren't people rediculous! Why key such a nice car, unless you've done something to deserve it. But I also went to a small school where everyone knows everything. First thing, never brag about waht you have, it's not attractive. Even if you bought it yourself, good for you, don't brag about it. Money doesn't make you better than anyone else. The school I went to didn't claim responsibility for anything that happened, even on school premesis. Rediculous! The security people didn't do anything but write tickets for parking in upmarked spots. Lastly, you're somehwere between 16 and 18. Why are you driving an S-Class? It's really not a practical vehicle. I'm sure there are lesser cars (think CLK or E) that are just as nice and you would probablit like the drive of better anyway. Moral of the story, don't be a dick.
