Sorry to jump in but your the one who posted your salary, in CAPS, on a poll, smartass...

All he did was ask where you worked, if you read the forums you will see alot of people sharing information ...

First year huh...Still have a lot to learn...Have fun working this weekend!

"you will see a lot of people sharing info" yea thats why i said how much i made idiot.


yea no kidding he asked me where i worked....the question u fail to ask it why he asked me(he was alluding that i was making it up)...and i am not working this weekend. =) I suggest if any of you wish to flame back at me because your ego is broken, to send me a PM so that people who intially posted what age they were don't have to deal with your questions. Even if i posted extraneous information, that does not give you the right to go and ask me more questions about it, if what u are complaining, is in fact, that i strayed off topic.

You really need to relax. After your post all I asked is where you worked. It never crossed my mind that you were making anything up. Ever think there are other attorneys on CL?

Jealousy? Geez, anyways, good luck with bar results.

too bad dealerships dont give u better deals for paying cash

That's for sure. They practically cried both times when I said I wasn't interested in leasing or financing.

1. How is the sentance "where do you work" alluding to you making something up, I still do not get it? Why did you assume he was bashing you and not simply networking?

2. No broken ego here, love my life thank you

3. Not complaining about straying off topic, complaining about your attitude in general

Ha, trust me, that is still young I was also 24 when I got my 2nd gen GS300 back in '99.

Nice to see that the GS does appeal to a younger demographic, although most GS owners I see are still in their 50s.

There are two other GS in my area that I see all the time. One is driven by a guy probably in his 60s. The other is a gal in her 50s. I have not seen a young GS drivers in my area YET!

Default Another statesman checking in...

...41 here. Wife, two kids, house, and all the other responsibilities that you tender young folk don't have to manage yet.

I also had the reaction of, "What? [18-25] and you're buying a $50K car!?" But then I remembered that I bought my first ES300 back in '93 when I was 28, and $32K back then is similar to the $46K that the GS set me back now. So maybe it isn't so crazy.

Been paying cash for as long as I've been able to build up the pad for it. Now I don't have to cry in my beer when I see how much $$ in interest goes out the door with the car. Crying in beer is the dealership's finance guy's job now.

Anyway, enjoy the ride guys---just remember that it's never too early to start saving money. Max out those 401K's now or live to regret it!

(waves cane) ...and get the hell off my lawn!
