Re: Re: how I got my 600SEL

Most people assume that I sell drugs or stole the car. I am 18 and agree that there are not many people who drive such nice cars. People dont believe that I paid for my car. Even the police questioned how I earned enoughf to buy the car.
I started working 30-40 hours a week in a furniture store while going to high school at the age of 14. At the age of 16 I started a furniture assembly and delivery company. After school I would assemble furniture and make deliverys. By Feb. 2002 I was makig 100+ average an hour. On weekends I would often do 10-14 hours of hard work a day. Then on Mar. 3 2002 my life was changed for ever. I was getting out of class at High School and was standing in the parking lot getting into my car when a 92 year old laidy swerved off the road at around 40 mph and hit me against my parked car. She broke my back, hip, ribs and caused severe nerve damage to my right foot. She did not even stop! she kept driving and was caught by the police down the street. It was her 3'rd hit and run in 2 years! But this is the crasy part, they did not even ticket her because she was 92! Today she is still driving and I am unable to work. I couldent even finish my last year of High School. Every day I have to go to the physical therapist and she is out driving likley to hit another person.
You thought I was lucky but after you have learned all the facts you might think otherwise.

Hey i feel sorry for you Kristian, but i hope soon you will be fine back on your feet..One time a guy hit me frm the back while i was driving my c280 and i stopped and i got out of the car and the guy said "hey sorry man, can i go now?" i almost busted his chops. I was in a shock as the car hit me at around 30mph atleast. But i grabbed him and called the cops and took his insurance info and got my car fixed. I really dont give 2 sh*ts no matter how old the person is. If the guy who hit me was nice and would have apologized in a civilized manner, i would have let him go.

I bought my S320 as i graduated frm college and ended up with a network engineering job at an investment bank. This is my 2nd benz, the first one was a 96 c280. I dont drive my car much, its parked almost 5 days a week.

Re: I too used to think that the W220 was nothing compared to the W140. While the W140 and the

W140 was the king of its day and still remains. But at one point you just have to give in to the new models.
In my eyes, W220 is nothing but a german made lexus.
