A bucket on wheels
this reminds me of mashimiro or whatever. In fact this house looks very similar to the house pictured in his old pictures.

Very nice. Good thing your last name isn't Menendez. Scary thing is that I actually knew the younger brother when he went to high school in Princeton, NJ.

How does it feel to be banned? I guess you'll have 7 days to think about your answer so make it a good one.

I really don't understand why you're on this forum anyway...You call just about everyone liars. Those that you don't, you think they've made their money illegally. And above all, you're dispresectful.

Its no wonder that you have nothing and you are nothing. I hope you take this banning as a hint and never return.

Also a few more questions after another drive.
Does the car come with keyless go as standard?
How do you shut off the A/C? whenever we press the 0 button on the dash all it that happens in the red light blinks on and off. The AC remains on and we can only reduce the air but not shut it off completely. We also have an 04 sl55 and the buttons seem the same so i dont know why they shouldnt work the same
The fuel cooler is in the A/C hose. When the fuel temp sensor senses hot fuel, it leaves the compressor on. You cannot turn the compressor off until the fuel temp drops.

There's more to it than just school. Have a clear and straight mind in life. That will take you beyond SLRs and CGTs.

And I see you like your collection in black quickburn.

School you must be kidding. All the money I've seen made is through realtionships and soft skills. One can be terribly smart but will never be rich enough to afford the stable these guys are showing off unless the intelligence allows one to play the political game. I know many people who are rich beyond belief whose intelligence lies in the lower half of the first standard deviation and whose education is no better than a high school sophomore. This is of course just my opinion, it could stink, but it could be true.

Just be the very best person you can possibly be! If lots of money is in your future great, if not don't worry about it because life is very, very short and you can't take it with you; plus money won't get you into heaven, on the contrary (or so it's said). Remember there will always be someone with more money and always someone worse off than you. I'm in the financial world and unfortunately those with the most money are not always the greatest humanitarians, as even those that give away billions do so partly for financial reasons (some much more than others) based on the advice of their advisors and could do so so much more if they really wanted to. Sorry if I went off a bit...

I certainly do not disagree with you, but for someone without any connections, education is a good start. One of the members here has a great assortment of AMG cars. He has a BS & MS in computer science and his wife is a pathologist. Schooling did OK with them.

Sure wish I had some connections. I know that I could do their jobs as well as some of the people who you are referring to.

Don't worry about it. It's just a rant cause I'm pissed that I'm not rich.
