Ages for the AMG SL owners
Saw this in the Roadster Thread. Curious to see the ages of SL55/65 owners on this forum who own the 2 cars. I myself am 27.

Ian's right though. Live in So. CA where alot of my friends drive nice cars, but still rent or live with Mom and Dad. Never thought it was right owning a Lambo and pulling up to your apartment. If I had it my way, I would still live with M&D, if they would have me. I love being spoiled with nice home cooking.

I have friends that drive CLK55s, M5s/M3s, and S5s and that is all theirs with their name on the insurance and payments and I know what they do. But thye still ive at home with Mom and Dad also. As far as their jobs, that information can't be disclosed..haha

Hahha.. that happens a lot where I used to live, in Glendale.. A certain ethnicity there loves nice cars, and they would drive 911's and S-classes to their apartment complexes.. Never made sense to me..
I think I come in as the youngest.. Just got my SL55, and am 22. And no, I don't live at home, got a nice house in Newport Beach all paid off, and an apt in Los Angeles where I live during the year while going to grad school.

31 and the house and cars are paid for, but I didn't have it five years ago and it may be gone tom.. I have owned several Porsches and Jap. 300+hp imports and this car is it for me. Charlotte, NC doesn't have much bling and for under $200K nothing else interested me with a retractable top. I hated my SC430 and loved my 2001 M3.

Haha, not 2.5 million, 1.2 or so... My house is 1.7, and yes.. I mentioned in another post that I happen to be lucky enough to have a trust fund. But not a huge trust fund...I say this because I have buddies who are sitting on SERIOUS trust funds which make mine look like Oprah next to Warren Buffett (a good friend of mine has the last name of "Nielsen", think "Nielson TV ratings & Media Research"). I have also stock traded for the past 4 years and made a good sum of money on options which is my "play money". However, i'm goin through law school now so that I don't have to live off of my interest for the rest of my life (don't wanna be TOO much of a spoiled brat)..
What always amazes me is the East Coaster's born into old money, now THATS serious cash.. They toss around millions like it's monopoly cash. I went to a party in Boston a few years ago where there were kids like that and the subject of the conversation I butted into was "Are we going to St. Tropez or the Burj Al Arab in Dubai this summer?"
