Pics of the Armani belts or ban!!!!!!!
I think we need some picture posting of some members cars here...
The only way any of us know if you are fake or not is to post a picture with the following...
S600 xenon lights on driver side door open, Next to that on the right side Ranger rover with parking lights on. Next to the rang rover your navigator with lights off and drivers side door open.

Post what you have. We prefer pictures here since we have had an influx of younger people who lie about the cars they have. My best advice is to go out and take pictures tomorrow and post them, we have a lot of members here that can spot a fake picture in seconds and find links to where the car is for sale or if it is another members car you can check out the most recent in the maybach section where some kid was called out very fast.
Just a tip if you want you can write AndrewAZ F U on a 8x10 pice of paper and take a picture of that when placed on the cars you "have".

My dad allows me to drive it because like HLG600, he knows I love cars and I have huge respect for it.
I gotta admit, I'm getting bored of seeing peoples faces when they see a Learners plate on a $100K plus car. But quite frankly, I don't care anymore. Once I'm off my learners licence and can drive by myself, I will no longer be driving the Mercedes, instead I will be part contributing towards a simple yet safe Toyota Yaris (new) which will actually be a decent first car TBH and I will be very gratefull for it.
I will badly miss driving the fantastic E240 Avantgarde, using the tiptronic and letting it rev high in Sport mode and feeling the wind in my hair from the Panoramic sunroof. But hell, the cars not mine and I personally don't approve of the image of youth like myself driving, let alone OWNING cars like an E240 and definately NOT an S550.
I cannot believe there is someone in the world who is roughly my age who feels comfortable driving a S550. Yes its a comfy car but I couldn't live with the image that radiates from it all. I would love nothing more than to enjoy driving it once on a special occation but I couldn't drive it on a daily basis.
Its just wrong.

I like your outlook. I myself grew up driving Nissan Sentra's, Honda CRX's and Honda Civic's (at different points in high school and college). All 5 speed. Considered myself lucky to have one in college (for 2 of the 4 years). Not many of my friends did. And the years of not having one made me appreciate them more.
Wouldn't change it. Enjoy the world of small cars and slickshifting manuals while you can, before you're burdened with the need to buy something more "practical." Not sure what's available in the Australian market -- do you get either the Honda Fit or Honda City?
Among small cars Honda's typically have the highest fun-to-drive factor. Their manual transmissions and steering/handling tend to be best-in-class. Not to mention some high revving and/or high output-per-litre engines.
If the monthly payment is not that much higher, maybe you can trade up to the Honda Civic instead of the Yaris. It's a very sophisticated "small" car and looks great in stock LX or EX form.
PS: What's the E240 -- is it a W211?
