I remember in around June 2002 when we were 'thinking' about placing an order for the MY2003 S600 (big news big news it was twin turbo big news big news) I saw a R230 for the first time ever in a beautiful blue-ish green color -- I thought it was an SLR.

A few moments later dad got his black on ash SL500

Not dumb, some ppl don't give a **** about cars, they could care less what it is, ask them another question of interest (to them) and they could make you look silly.

I knew someone would get me wrong.. now that I read what I posted I cant blame you lol.. I made it look as if someone didnt know about cars they were dumb.. which is false.... but add these two sentances together and see if it makes more sence?



"just because someone has a degree in something doesnt make them good at it"

"these people are not smoking, but just dumb at life in general but have a college degree and make 50k+ a year"
