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?
Weed out the posers.

That's why the hostility.

Hey guys, I'm 12 and am wonduring if i shuld get the.veryron??? i dont no becuz im splitting paymentss with my ex.gf. and then i want to mod it???? HEEELLLLLLLLLLPPP!!!! and also duz it depresheate alot cuz i dont want to bee in the same hoole i am now with my en.zo.?

Really 1993_300SE, you like being taken for an idiot?

And multiple screen names? That's childish. I'm still wondering why he isn't banned.

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.

At his age I already had been through a handful of nice cars. Trust me, no one's bashing this clown because the car he's going to get (supposedly). He's being bashed because he's a moron with multiple screen names and because he writes like a 3rd grader.

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.

No one was bad-mouthing you bro, don't take it so personal. In the end it's the internet. You shouldn't leave because a couple people (including myself) attacked a troll. It doesn't make any sense.

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?

Meh, I give the OP as a "B-" for trolling attempt. Could have been more subtle imho and worked better if played right.

Added points for:
- Model
- Used

Subtracted points for:
- Parents paying half
- "too young" question

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.

Ok, I have to know how a 19 year old purchases a $140k vehicle while preparing to have a child at the same time.

VERY hard to believe.

At 18, I already had both my E55 and SL55, I was 19 when I got my SL600.

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?

You don't know much about the going rate for "details" do you? A professional paint-correction can cost upwards of $600, base prices start at around $200. Do just one car a day, and by the end of the month you've got over 6k easy. Do two cars a day... well, you get the point. With no kids, and no debt... well, need I continue?

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.

The don't believe it. What do you want, a bank statement?

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 I still make enough.

Let me get this straight, you think I rent a Benz everytime I go to a meet?

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.

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.

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.

Like I said, then don't believe it. It wont make my 20s ride any rougher.
