A,
I personally find your posting etiquette to be borderline inappropriate and riddled with flawed opinions.
You should review this 3rd party interpretation on how to conduct your behavior on a message board:
http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=us
Hopefully you will get the car your want; but as you know or will learn, correct and passionate car knowledge is dispersed upon individuals that deserve it. Unfortunately, your “expertise” of the auto market and follow-up questions shows ill founded dealings with any information.

See what happens when the price of these cars gets down in the 20's, the forums get infected and infested by boy racers.
As the price of these cars has gone down, we continually see kids bring their immaturity and "tuner" culture into the MB forum. There's nothing wrong with being a year or two removed from your teens or even owning a tuner car, but check the attitude and the OMFG's at the door.
I've appreciated the forum and the culture, but it's turning into every other car forum. Go away M3-ADDICT. As confrontational as a few of the other regulars are, at least they show some sort of maturity.

not really. at about $35k, cars begin to easily fit into the douchey losers who struggle to afford it but want to show-off category that is predominated by the used E46 M3, G35/7, C-Class, 3-Series, etc. these losers are the people that still suckle the teat of their parents or work at a local Best Buy or have only a high school education but think that making $12 an hour is something substantial. these losers also think that because they "made it" that they're gods gift and are infallible, no matter what they do.
you sir, fall into the "ladder."
that being said, the individuals who fall into that category still wouldn't be able to drop a $100k on a car. also, $100k on a used F360 is still something that illiterates couldn't, or I would at least hope couldn't, do.

I'm glad you read your BlackBenz's PM, which explain why you wrote that. It's very insecure of both you and him to attack me using a job. Even if I were to work at BB, you are less of a man for making fun of me for it. While you are more than welcome to believe that this is what the reality is. I hold 2 active bachelor degrees (Accounting, Finance, and Minor in IT) from tier top business school in America (GMU). I've been working since 16 in any field you name, sales, to retail, to customer service, to analysis, and everything in between. I can bet you I'm more liquid in assets than you'll be for a while.
I work for an IT Reseller as an Staff Accountant, and flip cars on the side for fun. Life couldn't be better, I just sold my M3 and now I'm buying a E55. I have no loans, and everything I buy is cash.
Don't listen to BlackBenz, he is bitter because everyone makes fun of him even on MBWORLD which should be his home. Just went through his Threads and everyone seem to bash him every time he makes one about his car lol.
I'll be searching the board as a guest and I've already gotten all of my answers.

wow, I don't even know why I wasted time writing all that. I found your website, you don't even have a E55 AMG, you drive the most baseline C class there is to sell. Not even the current model. Peace out.

Please, please stop posting already. You are killing yourself and further enhcancing the notion that all M3 drivers are complete douchebags...which isn't exactly true. Either that or take a more civil and mature stance with your posts so that members will actually respect you ...at least a little bit..and want to help you.

I didn't read anyone's pm.
the fact that you think that an example I used was ACTUALLY indicative of a direct attack is hilarious. I was putting you into that GROUP of individuals and not attacking your job...
I also don't see the harm in attacking one person's job. I've seen it all the time, kids come on the forum and elsewhere that have jobs that pay very little but they go out and buy or lease an MB or BMW, buy Rolex's and max out their credit cards is laughable. The same kids also brag to their friends as to how baller they are and they act like douches on the forum. If you work at BB and aren't going to school, have tons of credit card debt and you buy one of the aforementioned douchey cars, I sure as hell will make fun of you for it.
with regard to you have a degree from a "top tier" business school, is that why you have such poor language, comprehension and people skills? it really shows the quality of graduates that GMU puts out.
btw, last time I checked (which was today), GMU was a third tier and not even close to a top tier http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...niversity-3749

yeah, my baseline C-Class was bought NEW (which was about the same price as the used "high-end" cars that you purchase), something that you can't do.
I also HAD a 2006 E46 M3 which was purchased new (unlike yours) but I currently have a 2008 M5 which I also bought NEW. last time I checked, the M5 and E55 were about the same price range and were competitors.
I guess you're too stupid to see my signature or the "Drives" portion by my username.
peace out, LOSER.
