C63 AMG (stock right now), Beach Cruiser (debadged), Piper Cherokee 280 (too much to mention)
SLR who cares... F1 yes.

I agree that pics would be nice. Not that I would imagine anyone would bother to lie about what they drive... That is pathetic in every sense of the word.

I am not as interested in what people with SLR's do. I would prefer to know about those lucky people with Mclaren F1s in the garage.

Aside from the above mentioned things.. Don't forget the people with good credit. lol.

I knew a guy here in Los Angeles that sold his Bentley to get an SLR. He simply lived with his parents but had amazing credit. Kinda sad.

While having great credit is nice, taking on enormous debt is a different story especially the guy you refered to who lived with his parents.
He may be better off having his parents pay the note on a house instead of a $400k car(most folks who can afford that type of vehicle usually have their own home instead of residing with mommy and daddy).

haha you guys crack me up.

Did you guys know I drive 4 Mclarens all on seperate occassions?

the first one, I drive to work and back, it's Silver (so chips don't show up on the front.) mind you it's a great economical car!!

second one, it's for low pro, all blacked out Brabus, with the deep dish black on chrome dish brabus wheels, smoked tail lights, tint, it's hooked up, now you know why it's low pro, I think I gave too much info for this one...

third one, it's a white and rolls on 20 TIS, I take it out to clubs and on my days off, it's very pimpy and the ladies seem to like it.

and finally the fourth one is the babe magnet of them all, A specially customized Pink, that's right, PINK Mclaren SLR, candy painted might I add, it's very hot and I drive that on hot sunny days only.

I work at Mcdonalds and happened to save up alot of money for these.

I don't own one but it would be great it I did!!

aah, well.. Here in Bahrain I haven't seen any but a couple of Royal family peeps got them scattered around at their warehouses...!!

But in our neighbouring country UAE, Dubai...Even the Governer of Dubai has a couple of SLRs as well as the 722 edition along with a couple of G55s as well as a Brabus version of it. Those are the best collections you could ever see.

Well, Cops_h8_me!..There you go!! one filthy sexy looking McLaren F1
, Sir.Jackie Stewart drove this while he was reviewing about Bahrain International Circuit and this car belongs to the Crown Prince of Bahrain and there is another McLaren F1 for a random prince.
