Good Question! I have always admired anyone that can afford to buy a new S class. I purchased an 07 E Saks 5th Ave recently and that is all I can afford.I own a business and make decent money but it will be a bit longer before I can shell out a 100k for an S class. Hope to get there someday as I believe the S class is the ultimate business sedan.

Based on where you live, the car you drive, and your wondering how people on this forum make their money, and your picture, you must be Persian, correct? Or possibly Armenian, or from the Middle East.

I'm half Persian, I don't hang out with them anymore, but I know they always like to know how everyone else makes their money, and they love Mercedes and bimmers.

I'm a commercial developer, I buy and sell land and commercial properties. I'm 26 years old, and my first car when I turned 16 was a mercedes, it was a '94 S500 sedan, way back in 1996. Now i'm up to a 2007 Designo CL 550, and a custom 2001 CLK 430(that I bought brand new back in the year 2000) that I'm trying to sell. Maybe my next car in few years will be either a new CL65, or bentley continental GT, or maybe Lambo Gallardo Spyder.

No, no. It's just the distribution of herbs for traditional Chinese medicinal purposes that modern American society doesn't believe in.

I sell TVs.

But I didn't pay for the car, though I do pay for the gas, some insurance, and the service fees. Here's hoping a Service B doesn't pop up anytime soon!

Nice to finally see some replies, it is not a requirement to post your age but i think it is a good to see so many successful young people

Anyway, i am not Persian, i am white, my mom is a jew and my dad a southern baptist, go figure but the people i currently work for are Persian, both from Israel

I am doing freelance graphic design and digital media right now (websites, advertising collateral ,photography, logo design, etc) but my goal is to be a big time movie director and eventually producer

I just turned 22 on the 3rd

I bought my first car when i was 18 which was a 97 chevy blazer, first and last American made car i will ever buy, sold that less than a year later and bought the W124 i have now which i love and even when i buy a new benz will keep and eventually restore because i love the body style and think it will be a classic some day

At the beginning of this year i bought my first place, a $500,000 condo here in Laguna Niguel

Eventually i want to own a multi-mil beach front property in Newport/Laguna and have a nice collection of European cars in the driveway . . .

So keep an eye out for my first major motion picture ;<)

I would also like to get into real estate, the more dough the better and i know that California, especially the O.C./LA area is a pretty damn good place for that

I am interested in learning more about the commercial aspect of real estate, if you wouldn't mind PMing me i would love to ask a few questions from you guys who have obviously done well for your self in the real estate game

We tried a poll in the off topic forum once...apparently there's a few billionaires on the board. And supposedly, they're all of ClayJ's multiple personalities. LOL

In Dallas I drive an 07 E Saks 5th Ave ( looks like an E with AMG package) Google Saks E Mercedes and you can see a lots of photos. One of the best looking cars I have owned. In Houston I drive a white 2004 Crown Victoria with 208k miles on it. I am in the vending business and travel the state of Texas. Dont want to wear out the E so I drive the Crown Vic Detective car when traveling long distance.

The Crown Vic never saw Police action. My best friend owns a company that builds police radars guns for Police agencys. This car was a demo car traveling from town to town by a company salesman. This is one of the reasons it has 208k easy miles in three years. Runs like champ.

Pretty bad to be speaking about a Crown Vic on this board. Better get back to S class talk before I get into trouble.
