Trying my hardest not to be an ******* here, or shall I say a killjoy but Brad, how can we be certain that is not your dad’s car, that you don’t work (if you work) in dad’s store, and that’s not your dad’s house? I see you were driving McDonald St. over by Fort Hamilton Parkway. Very familiar with the area and multitude of young bucks parading around in their parent’s possessions, or best case scenario gifts, passing them off as self accomplishments. Either way I’m not criticizing, condemning, or insulting you here, just curious. You can understand that, no? Did I miss something? Oh, and what do I do for a living, not sure if you’re old enough to remember but my partnership was located on Stillwell with a guy named Sam – concrete, plumbing, and the like - pretty lucrative until the early nineties. Maybe your dad might recall.
Now let me not rain on your parade and wish you all the best, enjoy it in the best of health, it is a beautiful ride!

I have decided that a response would hopefully make you rethink your way of questioning people about their possesions and the reasons behind them.
As stated in previous posts - my parents gave me this car because they wished too. I've never done a drug in my life, never been drunk, always abided by my cerfews, maintained good grades, good jobs, and have had a healthy positive attitude all my life. They also gave me my previous S500, because they wished too. I graduated Parsons School of Design with honors, have been working since I was 15, first with my father, then a textile agent in nyc, lastly, the past four years at a design house in nyc with a 300 million a year business, starting as an intern, then design assistant, now associate designer, mechandiser. All the while, I am beginning my own fashion design label / brand, and finally, it was felt by my family that since for the past 4 years, as my entire family went through cancer, I was the rock they all leaned on - my life was devoted to running their household requirements (shopping, medication purchases, food etc) and most recently driving my grandfather to and from Sloan Ketterin each week for his chemo treatment. He is doing very well, and is expected to make a full recovery, with just 2 more weeks of treatments.
The reason my car was picked up in that neighborhood is simply because the truck delivering my car was unable to pass under the train station bridges to get to my family house. So, we met the truck there to pick up the car.
Since you implied the S550 or previous S500 were actually my fathers instead of mine, Be advised that my father has his BMW 740iL and gave me those mercedes.
My parents know that i sacrificed a lot over the years and chose to put the family before myself- and they therefore wish to help me have the things that I love, NOW, rather than wait till I make a success on my own. I am a car enthusiest, and it is because they worked hard all their lives, they are able to give me a gift which would overwhelm me because in their words, I have overwhelmed them...
Before you go ahead, and publicly question someone, please kindly remmeber that there are different circumstances in every family....k?

Did I not question whether or not I missed something? The precise answer was: "My parents gave me the car." And this in itself would have been a sufficient. Jealousy
I was debating whether I should dignify this with a response, and nearly decided to dismiss your defensiveness as 
. I have decided that a response would hopefully make you rethink your way of thinking about people and their curiosity. Kid pull up some demographics on North Scottsdale and you tell me if it was jealousy or vigilance. 
Best wishes for your grandfather. As a car enthusiast it’s odd a kid your age would limit himself to the S-Class twice but hey who am I to judge. I applaud your parents in helping you enjoy things now since I have used the same reasoning with my children not so much as a gift but more so to show them that the finer things in life are in fact attainable and with proper “book learning” coupled with success the sky’s the limit. However, I am with Ricky on the squeaky clean image presented. Kid go get a lap dance or something, release the anger!
Now go, go design. And when you design along the lines of Nat Nast or the like send me a PM. With this I end my debated response and join IluvS500 in his diplomatic suggestion.

Chucky, you look like a clean cut young adult. But one word of advice, you mentioned that you sacrificed alot over the years, well, I personally think that one can only mention that in words to strangers when they reach the age of retirement ( maybe 60 ). I'm 35, and I owned my first mercedes which I bought with money earned by me, when I was 21 ( with Gods help ofcourse ), and I was also a clean cut kid. At that time of my life, I too thought like you. 10 years later my thought is, when I do enough for my kids,my grandkids, and my old age parents, I will truely feel the sacrifice. Until then, whatever I do will never be enough.
I wish you all the best, and I hope my kids turn out like you. The only difference, I would supply them a standard Toyota with all the airbags, until they have their own resources to buy a W 221 or whatever it may be called in 2020.
Enjoy, like we are all doing with our beautiful cars!

Observation
It seems to me Chucky is being subjected to a lot of advice and personal assessment just because his parents made him the owner of a new S550. Whatever his parents have done for 25 years in making him the person he is certainly has merit and he seems to have developed into a bright, energetic and thoughtful young man. So why not just forget his personal situation and how he got the new S550 and let him enjoy it like others have done.

Chucky,
I am sure that Konigstiger didn't see these posts as I didn't either (not that it matters to me
) or he probably wouldn't have questioned you. I am sure others who read your threads had thought you yourself were actually purchasing this beautiful automobile according to the wording that you used. Nevertheless, I am happy for you and am sure you will thoroughly enjoy all that this car has to offer!

I agree, but all this interactive typing makes the MB Forum a bit exciting, because lately its been a bit boring because everyone is just loving it ( the S Class ).

Chucky how come your car looks better than mine
I've always owned silver cars. Infact only silver. This W221 is the first black that I bought. Its my wife's favorite color. Now I see your silver one, and I told my wife yesterday that the next mercedes I buy will be silver again. She got mad.
Great color choice. Well done !

Good luck with the new toy! the next car i want is a CLS55, but i too will have the feeling of giving the old car in and missing it as it was my first car also but that wont be for a lil longer.

Here I wish you the best, more than once, and you bite me in the ***. Listen I can’t keep playing in the sand box here. If you must have the last word you’re welcome, I’ll be the “Man” as they say (for those who understand) and graciously bow out. 
For the last time enjoy your father’s car it’s a beauty. Now go get your shine box! …PERFECT (once again, for those who understand)! Bye, kid. Believe it or not, it's been a pleasure. 
I apologize to the forum, this thread, the members, the moderators and all the people on land, in the air, and at sea. I do not normally, in fact, never have reacted as I have “performed” here. However, I got to admit, throwing a coal or two on the fire really gets this kid going, no?
And now, with the help of our affiliates in Las Vegas, we take you live to the other fire…
