Test drove the new M5 yesterday.

I can't believe how many young guys I've seen driving these things around. Fuggin doods my age driving a $92K car. How much goddamn debt do these people have?

Ive seen guys not a day older than 22 in any kind of car imaginable... Good for them but i wonder if theyre really THAT rich or have whacked priorities

A friend of mine that does the same thing I do has a new M3 that he put nothing down on, a $900K house that he a) put nothing down on, and b) got an interest only loan for more that the house is worth so he wouldn't have to pay closing costs. He has $200K in credit card debt, and a $500/ week coke habit. He does pretty well, but I don't think he has a spare dollar to his name. Just setting themselves up to fail, IMO.

It´s very American.
Both the individuals and the government over there live that way.

Nobody saves as much money in bank accounts as the Belgians.

I saw a Maybach 62 at the supermarket today. With local plates. I had no idea there was anyone in this area with one of those. I can't think of any famous NBA stars or rappers from this area. You think boxer Jermaine Taylor has that kind of money yet?

It needed a trip to the detail shop too, the paint was a bit dirty and dull.

it's got to be sam walton or bill clinton...who else from arkansas could have that type of loot?

Sam Walton is dead, and Clinton isn't ostentatious enough to buy a Maybach. Besides, if it was Clinton, there'd be a huge Secret Service contingent on hand.

Doubt a member of the Walton family would be at a Kroger store in Little Rock.

BTW, the Maybach doesn't look quite as impressive in person, in a solid color, as it does in the pictures in the magazines with 2-tone paint. The 62 is one of those cars that I really never expected to EVER see out and about on the road, especially in Arkansas.

well, if it wasn't a rusted out ford fesitva with a shitty jet-ski towed behind it, it's safe to say it's not juiceddingleberries

2005 Diablo....???

2005 Diablo....???

That's pretty hard, since the Murcielago came out in, what, 2002, 2003?

What... a... car!

The looks from girls was almost as impressive as the car's capabilities. That thing cradles you, growls around you, and does exactly what you want it to, when you want it to. I've never had a driving experience like that. I get back to the showroom, and the salesman says they have me approved, and the paperwork is drawn up. I won't spend that on a car... I can't justify it.

Aside from the fact that I may get fired for taking my boss skiing, it's all I've been thinking about. If you could, would you?

I can. I don't.

Car is just a car; so many more important things in this world.

Shhh....I think he's confused. But, if you can grab a 2005 Lambo ANYTHING for $112,000 with a clean title......you better do it. DO IT.
