Good luck buying a decent CS for $140k! That is NOT a car that you want to buy if you're gonna drive it more than once a week or so. I had one, and it wore me out!

I think a Tesla is hella cool. Around here, lots of people signed up. A lot of rich Woodside VC's wanting to go green and be different from the AM's and F cars around..

I actually was on the list to get a Tesla, my turn came up and Mrs. Coolcamden threw a fit because I'd been buying too many cars. No Tesla for this poor guy.

We may use our crappy computers that he wants us to throw in the garbage to locate some pictures of $140K cars for him. That'll for sure earn us big points in his Monopoly money.

Rush Street is the main hangout for the in crowd. Alot of P-cars, AMG's, Z06 and the like. U will see the occasional Ferrari, Lambo(excluding Lance Brigg's), Bentley and I have even seen MJ's 722 Slr, a Porsche GT and a Mclaren(sp?). Otherwise, base model S classes and 7 series BMW's are the norm.

deff a cl63 there is no better looking car , i mean in person cl63 looks good next to the galardo even tho very different but you just cant turn your head away from a black cl63 , it's too hot in person , or a galardo but if people are saying it aint a daily diver then deff the cl63 it's just the best , i would even take it the powerfull s65 even tho i really do love power , cl63 just looks unbealivable
