OK, I got your attention. Below is my new toy I got today. 2001 Mercedes SL600 convertible with the 389 horsepower V-12 motor. Whatcha think Lucy, does it stack up well to your new T bird? Below my new car is a cool toner I picked up last weekend. Life is good.

I don't make my living selling coins.

    Nice car!!!

    Just think, I just sold my 1995 Saturn wagon with 110,000 miles on it and bought a 1990 Honda Accord with 46K miles, and i thought that was an upgradeimage

    Good to see that you are doing well. A little something to back up that the market is white hot.

    We'll help you with the up keep. Maybe you will give discounts to those that offer to wash your car.

    What, only 389hp out of a V12? The little Subaru gets 300 hp out of a 2.5 L 4 cyl. OK, it is not as impressive as a Mercedes, but I love my little car.

    Nice ride, BTW. Did you give the wife the other one?
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency.

    Not bad but I still like the new car Santa Claus bought for me this year (OK so I bought it for myself for Christmas but hey you have to spoil yourself once in a while image).

    1970 Shelby Cobra Mustang, I call it my SNORSE since it is a hybrid cross between a snake and a horse.

    uh huh..you believe that load of BS..even the jerkoff dealers make a lot of $$$$, no dealer works on 10% not now not ever.. wake up son..you can always tell when a coin dealer is lying..their lips are moving.. most dealers i know or met would sell their mothers for the right deal

    For the record less than 5% of my income comes from coins.

    www.quickpassport.com is the business I own that brings home the bacon. Coins are just something I ENJOY doing. I know it might be hard to believe but I sell coins to relax and a change of pace from my other business. image

    Yawn......I look at an SLK320 in my garage every day......and here I thought I was gonna see a cool coin image

    This kinda reminds of the thread that started "The funniest joke ever told". Well, it turns out there really IS a funniest joke ever told. Someone surveyed a bunch of different countries trying to find a joke that people from different cultures would all laugh at - here it is:

    Guy calls up 911 on his cell phone and says "Hey, we just had an accident and my friend is real hurt". Operator goes, "OK, first we have to make sure if he's dead". A load bang is heard in the background. Guy comes back on the phone and goes "OK, now what?"

    You didn't laugh? OK, now you know how I felt when I opened this thread image

    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.

    Ok, time to turn this into a car show thread (at least that way it'll be more fun than the "dealer's profit" tangent).

    Nice Mercedes.

    I have a fondness for vintage American "muscle" cars.
