It's OK. Don't throw dirt at me because you couldn't fathom a way to make your fortune early on. I don't understand people like you who speak on situations so factitiously and don't even know the half.

Anyway off to my office... yeah, I work on weekends.


may I ask how you made your "fortune"?

it takes money to make money with investments... how did you get your start at 19?

BTW, I am not hating on you, just genuinely curious and intrigued how some one so young has done so well...

I would rather have a chick car than a grandpa's car, CL600. How's that human growth hormone therapy working for you?

19 is a man where I come from. I know a slew of 20 year olds that run respectable businesses.

Also, he never claimed to pay for his own way. Plenty of members here have parents that pay their way. No need to hate on that.

I'd take an old man's ride over a chick car, anyday. Not hating on your SLK, but just in general.

Well I would rather have a car that's agile and fun to drive... I'll have enough time to cruise when I'm 60

+1 on both comments. I'm 21, I buy and sell cars and make a very good living do so. I got my start with funding from someone who thought I would be good at it, we are now partners.

Like I said before, I am not hating, just curious.

Exactly so. My mother got me started, showed me how to keep my credit straight and gave me a couple thousand to start. She's also my real estate agent which is where I got my "IN".

You all are being a bit harsh on the young man. He's being a good sport as far as I can tell.

I'm 19, and although I don't think it looks nice I'm willing to let him enjoy it since it's what he likes. No need to hate on someone with different tastes. Also, I didn't "Fast and Furious" my car nor do I think it's cool. Why stereotype, honestly?

I am 32, did the HGH give you ***** and that is why you are asking? I like agile cars as well just going through a cruiser period, since you are in the e55 forum (I just sold my 2004 e55 this summer) be careful about ripping on AGILE cars because while e55's are fast as hell, "agile" would not be the first word owners would use to describe.
All I am saying is take it easy on the 19 yr old and his tastes, I am just making the point that your taste in cars might be off to some as well (like me) so let him be he seems like a nice young man who is a car enthusiast just like us. But I have to say when ever I see a man driving an SLK i think that he must be taking it to the gas station to fill it up for his wife/girlfriend. man if i had that car i would tint the SH*t out of those windows LOL

There are some ruthless Mo Fo's on this website huh! You guys are being a bit hard on this kid, give him the benifit of the doubt, I did not read anything he posted that was mean, maybe a we bit cocky, but it seems somebody humbled him up early on in this thread. Don't hate the kid because he has some cash, regardless of how he made it! I suppose all you guys would turn down financial help from your parents........ya, that's what I thought! Now cut the kid some slack!

BTW I don't like the HKS exhaust either, but to each his own. I don't like white cars, I think they are for girls, but I see a lot of you on here drive em'

Hehe, that was me. he paid his dues, let it go.
By the way, white E55s are considered rare nicities here, so you are right about the "to each his own".

They make products for bmw, but not the M6. The mufflers are just univeral carbon/ titanium mufflers and a resonator delete; it's all custom

Edit: you people must've put the police onto my exhaust, I got ticketed for it today on PCH.
