And what experience do you have with leasing? You would have to have an idea of your credit score in order to know what a lease would actually cost.

I haven't financed anything or taken any loans - haven't had any need to know what my credit score is for...over 4 or 5 years now. A credit score is only useful to those whom are financing something or qualifying for something - I don't use one to do either.....

Now STFU!
You're just betraying your ignorance.....

WHAT?! My E55 is that much on a 36 Month Lease. Also, if you're 19 your monthly insurance will probably be more than your car payment on a SL65.

What ever happened to that person who would post those extremely lengthly posts about his/her (sounded a little fruity) incredibly flamboyant and "glamorous" behavior. Talked all the time about driving an SL65. This was right around when the car first came out. Anyone remember this or am I alone on this one?

No wonder it didn't show up in the memberlist.
Haha, "I don't speak poor".

But yeah, I banned PRChris and I think I either banned Richboy as well, or merged and then banned. Sharp eye you have.

I was thinking the same thing. Wasn't he called Chris something?

PRChris....of course! I had just found this site and I think his thread was one of the first that I had found. All I thought was, "This guy is a little light in the loafers"!

It looks like we have a new candidate.

If you have made alot of money legally...good for you. You deserve a prize for your efforts....after all that is what the USA is all about. But make sure that you get your little behind up to Lime Rock, CT and enroll in Skipp Barber's course....you wil have more fun with your car, and it just may save your life. Even if you are just looking to 'show off'.....it will be extremely difficult not to get provoked into some situations that you will be in over your head.....very quickly, with any of these cars.
I know it's been ignored in this thread, but this post is really important and applies to everyone.

PR Chris is God!

Never in any forum have I seen someone who is clearly not who he says to be get so many seemingly educated people in a legitimate uproar.

That thread should be stickied at the top right under the picture thread.

Best thread ever.

Actually, the forthcoming "ClayJ Owned" thread will be the one that should be stickied.

Exposing someone with over 4,000 posts expanding over a 14-month period is stiky-worthy.
