Your car looks great! But that exhaust... i'm not so sure about. If you want it loud, take it to AAA exhaust on la cienega... ask what they can do about it. Maybe just remove the resonator or something while leaving the stock AMG exhaust on. They do great work there.

OT, but since when did having expensive cars mean you had good taste. I never understood why people say that. Anyone with money can plop down $100k plus on a car.

You interjected $100K+ cars and expensive=good taste which doesn't unilaterally connote having "good taste" at all. I'm specifically citing the combination/preference of experiences within the MB AMGs in his stable which shows good taste. As a sidenote, I was hoping that he wasn't going to put on that 6-pipe Brabus exhaust as I strongly feel that addon brings the SL65 down a significant notch in class and elegance. To each his her own.

Likewise, anyone can spend $50K on a car/truck/SUV which doesn't show class or good taste, especially with another $30K in discretionary modifications. Of course if you can afford to buy the limited offerings of $100K+ vehicles, there's a higher chance that the prestige, styling, fit/finish, technology and performance is there along with some clue. There is still a big difference between say, an AM-V8 convertible vs. a SL55 AMG or a Carrera GT vs. a MB SLR. Which is considered more desireable and better built for it's intended purpose? Not many can afford to just "plop down" $100K+ for a car and noone inferred that the ability to do so automatically credits oneself with "good taste."

True dat...Mash...Use some of "your" money to buy some taste and get rid of those extra Brabus tips. It ruins a really classy car. If you keep the exhaust as is, you might as well get the lights from the Knightrider car...

I'm giving you a hard time, but I spoke with Speed Racer and if the Mach V needed only a quad exhaust, then the SL65's 6 tip gun turrets are definately overkill...unless the extra two tips are fake and spew an oil slick and smoke screen? I'm sure Brabus could do....

Who knows if they own these cars? Perhaps his parents own a dealer? And even if they own these cars, does it actually prove that he is wealthy (its what he wants us to think, why else would be constantly posting nonsense threads about how he is tired of waiting)? Also, any moron can finance a car (at a really high rate) and flaunt it to give the illusion that he is rich. Maybe he has friends who own these cars (by friends, I mean friends parents). I could easily ask my friend father if I could stand by his car and take a picture . Anyway, if his parents are indeed rich, the way they spend money on cars, our little friend might be driving a used pinto as an adult. In Chicago, there are a couple of places where you cant rent high end cars, I'm sure Bev Hills has similar establishments....

As you may have noticed, this is my first post, and I signed up after reading all of this BS about his cars. I am 19, a second year engineering student. The cars listed in my profile are not mine, (but I can drive them, and I know its a privilege, and not my right) but my mothers. Also, if you guys want, I can provide pics of them together, even the ford . and, FYI we don’t have any cars waiting in customs, haha.

My two-cents,

Michael

PS. I just noticed, his parenst started building a house after the forum made fun of the apartment comment....

Keeps going on and on and on and on you guys are no one to me so I don't give a **** what you guys think I post what I wanna post whether it's mine or not does it even fuking matter?

Is this not a car forum? Your here to see and talk about cars right? Not start talking about who owns it or have the right to own it and all that crap, doesnt mean your young you can't have nice car. SO MANY PEOPLE out there that are young and have nice cars wake up!!! SHEESH grow up people. Who cares who owns the freaking car.

You can be 16 for all I care and drive an enzo I dont give a ****.

( as for the brabus muffler ) everyone has their own taste I like the brabus tips I think it sorta makes the SL different from the rest out there and it looks mean! if you see it in person it's different.

peace out people

Thanks for the pics mashimaro, your car or not. The reason why this forum sucks sometimes is not the people that bull**** and claim to have cars they dont, its everyone else trying to say that they dont own them and accusing them. Half the threads and posts are stupid you dont own that car, yes i do, prove it to me rambling. Please if you dont believe mashimaro or anyone else just ignore and dont reply, dont accuse people because YOU are the one turning this forum to crap. Have your opinions sure, but please half the content on here is accusations, lets keep to the purpose of this forum. Thanks to everyone who does contribute to the appropriate subject or related matter, you know who you are.

Regards, twinturbo
