Come on, people. The purpose of this message board is not to give someone a grammar lesson or to create an atmosphere of hostility. It's totally changed my opinion of this board. Am I the only person that feels this way? We are here to discuss cars, not attack each other!!!
As for the original post, it is one or more of 3 things:
1. It is true
2. It is false
3. It is mildly annoying and can be ignored
Some of you should be embarrassed. Why not join the Honda Civic message boards and flame each other with the rest of the teenagers? Don't you have anything better to contribute to this world than hostility or disparaging remarks?

This is the type of bs these forums don't need-- kids who need attention should go on myspace or facebook, not our forums. Furthermore, I think spelling and grammar is relevant. Unlezz u lyke triiiing to depsypher sen10ces lyke thiz.

HAHA as soon as I read the title of this thread I know some old people gonna bash the kid for getting a nice car because they prolly didn't have anything as near nice his age...well it is weird that this kid is even starting this thread I totally agree but I bought a nice car before I moved out simply cuz I knew I was going to school for a couple more years so I can probably pay it off before I get my own place....nothing wrong with buying a nice car and live with your folks as long as you aren't 40 and a virgin lol....

hahaha, so true. i think 1993_300SE just wants to sit around, hold hands and sing Kumbaya and roast marshmellows by the fire.
i am all for helping people, but coming on here with multiple screen names and wasting all of our time is not worth my help. sorry if you disagree with that kind of logic, maybe you can volunteer to help out all the trolls and idiots that come on here to just waste time and provoke arguments.

Hey, if putting people down to make yourselves feel better is what you need to do to feel like a real man then too bad for you. It's really sad. You can say anything about me you want and honestly, it doesn't bother me a bit. It does bother me that people just enjoy attacking each other. Really, does that make the world a better place?
Either way, I am chosing to no longer participate in this forum.

Are you not going to go to the mall anymore if you see some people arguing and throwing insults at each other over their place in line?

Added points for:
- Model

I am 20 now but I purchased my S600 brand new about a year ago and will probably never regret it. It is such an amazing combination of sheer power and utter luxury.
Plus the fact that we welcomed our daughter into the world when i purchased this vehicle, there probably isn't a safer car out there that i would rather be driving her in.

I probably wouldn't be as happy with a S600, though seeing as you have a kid I can understand where your coming from. Got any pics?

I can't speak to the credibility of the other member who posted about his S600, but I've attended countless meets and am even helping to set up the next one on 5/16.

dude, BS.
Lets see, the average age of entry for a hs freshman is 14. Most graduate at 18.
You are claiming you purchased an Sl55 (about $150k new), and an E55 ($90k) at age 18.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you bought used, so lets even call it $180k for both.
So, you are claiming that you were doing enough details during HS to pay for $180k worth of vehicles?
Also:
$200 for a basic detail is high, but $600 for paint correction is acceptable. That said, to properly do paint correction takes about 5-6 hours from start to finish. Then you need to pay for materials, tools, etc.
Also, claiming that you are doing 1 or 2 details every single day while in school is ridiculous. What if it rains? Middle of winter?
If your parents gave you the money, fine, I have no problems with that, but implying that you self purchased them is VERY hard to believe.

I don't even live with my parents. And actually, I graduated high-school at 17, fwiw. DURING high school, I owned the lesser Audis because I couldn't afford the Benzos; I worked part time for a security company at that time. I started paying my own way during high school for clothes, food, cars, insurance, the whole nine yards.
And, I know what "they" need to pay for, I pay for it all the time: Over-head, employees, products
![Blah](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/blah.gif)
Let me get this straight, you think I rent a Benz everytime I go to a meet?
![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
I attend college and manage my business as of now. So far so good. Too bad your not local, I'd give you a discount for a detail.

sorry buddy, I believe that you have the cars, but there is no way a high school kid is buying $180k worth of vehicles running a detail business.
nope...sorry
I'm sure you're very talented, but not a chance that working "security" as a 17 year old, you paid insurance, food, clothes, housing, and $180k worth of cars.
No one will dislike you if you admit that your parents helped.

But the fact of the matter is, I really don't have anything to prove to you, i did not post on this thread so I can get into an argument with you on whether i'm telling the truth or not. I posted on this thread to reply to a question that the OP asked.
I thought the whole point of MBworld.org was so that Mercedes Benz Enthusiast can gather and share their enthusiasm and offer help and feedbak about Mercedes Benz, not to flame each other and try their hardest to discredit each other, but then again this is the internet so what was I thinking.

I am lucky to say that I have been blessed enough where I can financially afford a 150k car at such a young age. I have also been blessed with a solid well paying job at a young age.

this forum is turning into, " the real housewives of MB world"
to whom has whichever car; more power to you.
Lets enjoy our blessings in great health and prosperity in contrast to sheer ignorance and degrading statements to one another.
