Talking Looks like M3-Addict finally bought his E55!

And by E55, of course I mean a $350.00 Jeep.

I happened to log onto autopia.org and they have scrolling chat bar at the top of the page. I see this.....

Now it looks like he's pan-handling for a freebee detailing.

Hi,

I recently picked this car up on Craigslist for $350 as a daily driver. I'm a student, with not much money. I wanted to see if anyone wanted to use this car as a practice car, or better yet make a portfolio out of it. Take pictures of it as it is, and proper pictures upon completion of work. I didn't want to touch it, in-case someone wanted to jump on a Jeep that needs some serious work and could turn into a nice advertising portfolio for themselves. Here are some pictures I took. Car is located in Virginia. I can come to you, bu as shown, I also have a garage you are more than welcome to use.

They're not big, they're massive! That's how he uploaded them and I didn't feel like resizing them.

That is too funny!

I guess he will try to argue that he was only "posing" as a poor college student...instead of the mega-superstar-baller that we all know him to be...

Weird

I bought a $400 truck from auction and drove for a year until I got back on my feet from layoffs, but the last thing I ever thought of was cleaning the damn thing. I straightened out the interior to make it drivable, but that was it.

I still have it in my driveway, after a year and 2months of driving, and has not been cleaned once, and guess what, looks like it did when i bought it.

I mean, a $100 detail is a quarter of the price of the car.

Just leave it be.

I hope this kid is getting the same amount of laughs from this forum as we are, cause then I do not have to feel bad.




JAKPRO1,

I'm a noob here but even i have already discovered how interesting m3-addict is lol. Musty admit i was happy for him when i saw the title of this thread . probably more happy than i was for myself when i landed my beast. Well good luck to him if he's still pursuing the "unrealistic e55 deal". Who knows he might even land one with the 5.5 liter twin turbo engine amg is yet to put into production lol
