you shake off the criticism as jealousy or envy, but let me tell you - you're pretentious and you have a terrible attitude, you're ignorant and misguided. you're as transparent as they come- an insecure little boy hiding behind an acronym and a dirty white-collar. i could jump in the family s500 and play status whore, but that'd drop me to your level. only the basest of idiots need to reinforce their own worth to themselves in such a superficial way.
let me guess. stumbled on some cash, tossed it at the nearest benz you could find, expected the rest of the world to do an about face and lap at your heels. you're what we call new money- no class, no tact, unworthy of respect or even acknowledgement. good luck with life; i'll bet you're a real pain in the ass to be around.
*yawn*
Really, if you can't read then there is no reason to call me ignorant. The first several replies mentioned foglights, Sylvania Silverstars and blue-tinted bulbs -- as well as suggesting that I needed to aim my lights. I mentioned nothing of the model or make of my car, in fact I never mentioned the make. I simply said these are stock lights on my SLK. That's hardly "tossing around a model." I'm sorry that you and others get butthurt, but I mentioned it once in a thread of 140 posts. If I'm pretentious, then you you've managed to ebscond with that flaw and save it all for yourself.
Pray tell, what acronym am I hiding behind? My name on this forum is certainly not one. I find it funny that I'm "bragging" when I mentioned I have stock lights and the car model, but you then decide to imply that you are "old money." You somehow managed to 80 times as pretentious as I've ever been in my life and managed to drop a model of a car in the thread that had no relevance.

Actually, no. Who is "you" by the way? A motley crew of 6th grade Boston windbags? I bought my car because I liked it, and it certainly wasn't the "nearest" one I could find. In fact, I ordered in June and picked it up in Germany in October. I had to wait to get my desired options. I could not care less about the brand other than getting a discount for doing Euro delivery. I still own my Ford and I've owned as many domestic cars as I've owned imports. *shrug* It sounds like you and others are the ones caught up in brand. I mention a relevant fact (that my lights are stock and the model of the vehicle), and it somehow turns into me showing off? If I wanted to show off it wouldn't be concerning my car. Search for my name. How many threads have I made concerning it? One. I've had it for over nine months.
There are plenty of people on this board that know me personally in real life or through PMs. Ask them if I'm pretentious or give a damn. I enjoy cars, nothing more and nothing less. I made a rant thread because I find it funny that people flash their lights because they think my highbeams are on. In the common AT way (as of late) instead of considering what I think to be a possibility it must be something else. Either mis-aimed lights, a thinly-veiled brag thread, aftermarket HID, or whatever someone could quickly type in. It is none of it. It is what I said it is. People see something different and flash. You don't like my conclusion then get bent. There is no "catch" in this thread. It isn't a brag thread. There's nothing wrong with my car, and I don't have aftermarket lights. That takes care of about 88% of the posts. The other 12% are just clueless flamers like yourself.
