64' Caddy, LX470, S65..GL..
Both are sweet cars. Love the Designo white but am not a fan of the painted rims.
Curious - Why do you think he opted for an S63 VS S65? If truly knows that he HAD a choice? I would assume his first choice would have been "the cream of the crop". Such as the Maybach.

from what i gather his maybach trumps the 65, and the 63 the 550, plus it is newer, the 65 is like yesteryear news. i hate the rims also... yes it is the famed speeding ticket car, and yes it is Cleveland, they wanted to linch him for speeding... they are a sorry bunch up here...
While i was standing there I had one person say, isn't that tint illegal? is that video up front illegal? why was he speeding? this car is way to much for him... he don't need all of that...
i just couldn't believe people were hating... I am sure when he goes to donate his monthly park in Akron or a charity event... i am sure he might deduct that $220 speeding ticket from the occasional $mill he gives

i am also very sickened by these names he gives himself. and it makes me even more sick to know these people are getting paid HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS to play a sport, especially when theirs people like my father who have worked their whole life, hard and diligently, and dont have this kind of money. i like lebron james as a basketball player, but i do not like him as person. he is full of himself, and has an ego problem. the economy is horrid because these athletes are getting paid XXX,XXX,XXX$ to play GAMES. it sickens me.
its a great source of income, but the business is never consistent. one month we might make $100,000 profit, the next month 60k. so this business is sort of like a roller coaster, blindfolded! if you have extra money(3-5million) i suggest investing into a gas station with a convience store, you buy the property(which adds to your networth) but also make MONEY off the property.
No, my friend....our economy is garbage because of people like you who charge all the money for gas and then drive 3 gas guzzlers. Right....making $100k profit month off gas stations.
Yeah....I am going to get 5 mil and then invest....in a gas station where owners make a penny profit per gallon.

ys i have a 06 range rover sc, but im looking for a new car in about 3 months, i have a $150,000 spending limit. what should i look into for this price range
If your dad's gas stations are making him $100k per month profit, I am sure the state would love to see how he is doing this.....something tells me it doesn't sound too kosher.

idk whether to be flattered, or scared that someone is pulling my posts from two years ago up. but please sir dont say ignorant statements. my fathers gas business is doing incredibly well, thank you very much for your input. we sell 600,000 gallons a month for our 3 stations. if your educated at all in the retail of gas, which i presume, your not, that is no small amount sir. and since you like pulling up posts, why dont you pull up the part where i say it is very INCONSISTENT, just like the styling of your R class Mini van. Atleast mom opps dad looks cool when he picks the kids up from school. I dont appreciate the shots you took at me, and my father because the remarks i made to mr lebron james. Listen i respect the fact you stated your opinion, but please dont slander mine.

Wow did you reall y just blame the economy on basketball players getting paid X amount of millions? First of all they get paid the money they do because they can do what probably 99.5% of the members on this forum cant do. Secondly, they entertain a massive audience of people, of course they should get paid that amount for what they do. Do some get paid more than they deserve, yes of course, but so do some CEOs, Managers and other workers. How bout instead of saying hes this and that, why dont you get a talent as rare and as good as his and use it to make 100 million dollars? Some of you people are massive haters, the guy is a class act and has done more for the city of cleveland than the past few mayors that city has had. Cleveland was a joke before he showed up, he gives kids in that city hope, and an actual role model instea of Bones thugs, or drew carey the only other thing cleveland is known for.

Yeah back on topic, just thought I'd share with you all, it is a MB topic, MB, MB MB ... take the other opinions to the off topic area. I could care less who makes what, I love the ride, the interior, and the vehicles in general

LOL, now Lebron is your favorite player. Imagine that.
Didn't know I had I a minivan either. The R230 is the new convertible son. However, you wouldn't that as you have never owned a Mercedes and have had pipe dreams for 2 years on owning a real car. Keep driving your daddy's cheap 03 Range with the $25 Supercharged logo put on.
Range Rovers are what guys buy their women here.....maybe it's different in hood Philly.
I am impressed though. I know alot of people who own gas stations in this area and they make a penny or two per gallon, if that. In other words, 600k gallons per month is $6k profit/month. Wow.
You are rich. Didn't some of the mods almost ban you for lying a few months ago?

FThornton, i think the closing arguements in this case would have to be that, in the michael jordan era he was the highest paid player with a salary of some 6,XXX,XXX$ these arent facts but im sure i could find the precise numbers.
it is not only a surplus but it is completely fair, .5-7 million a year should be the range for an National Basketball Association player. Especially after considering, Michael Jordan, the greatest and most INFLUENTIAL basketball player ever, had a 6 odd million dollar ceiling. Im sure we both know he made his fortune through business deals with companies like gatorade, hanes, and most notably Nike(duh).
i believe, the true star players in the league, such as Mr. LeBron James, and the Kobe Bryant type players, that can draw such huge markets, make no more than Michael Jordan, when it comes to salary for playing the game of basketball.

The most MJ ever made in a year was 6 million? That is news to me considering he signed a 1 year 25 million dollar contract in 1997 or 1998.
Then again, you think the R230 is a minivan
