  1. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how much I should pay for this car.

    It's 1 owner, 2006, 106k miles, maintenance records(not sure what was done), new tires/shocks/struts(claimed, not verified), has the wood trim option for interior....asking $9.9k, but I think that's a little on the steep side.

    Any clue how much its worth? I'm checking it out later today so need to look over it for any other problems it may have. I can't find any comparables/not a whole lot of transaction history for this model

    He's gonna sell all the cars, sue macca stating he fears for his life and had to sell them, wait for a settlement from him and his insurance company - someone told me he insured the Senna for what he paid (including the 500k overs) and for another 500k on top of that so he's smiling all the way to the bank on this one and will end up buying a Chiron or something similar when that dust settles.

     

     

    Exactly.

    Truthfully, if it gets rid of the ricer fart cans, subarus with straight pipes you can hear for blocks, and those dickheads on harleys with open headers, I'm all for it.  We get it, you're a 47yr old cpa in a midlife crisis who jerks off to sons of anarchy reruns, but dont punish the rest of us.  Those guys are all just fcuking assholes.

     

     

    Exactly. Loud exhausts are annoying. Most of them aren't even on worthy cars. CA > 

  4. I remember you saying a Evo Hi-Mod was your next bike. Glad you went the S route, fantastic bikes. I went through a Cannondale phase and their bikes were ehhh, not my style. 

    Rim brakes and carbon wheels?! Have you tried a disc bike yet? I won't go back to rim after having disc.

    Merry Christmas to me and my

    wife

     

    Very nice!!!! My next bike for sure will be Specialized.

    Was not feeling my Cannondale and surprisingly , after my Cannondale took a dump, my DIamondback has been the best bike I've ever had. 

    I was watching the new phil gaimon video of him cycling in PV. Seem like that area is more suited for a gravel bike? I'm going to take a summer trip out there, take all of your KOMs :D

    where did u move to? 

    Bay Area -> S.FL and back. Ft. Lauderdale

    I liked the area. But that humidity I could not get used to. I'll never move away from the West Coast again. Its great if you like the beach/water, but I'm not a beach guy. I never go to the beach here and I'm 20 mins away. 

    East Coast has a different vibe, I liked it. Just the humidity. I'm sure I could get used to it, but I'm too  familiar with CA. 

     

    But I do miss the Waffle House.

    Just one suggestion, not sure if everyone will agree but I think the post box should be the same colour as the background. The border and different colour makes it look like the post is a quote. See attachment as reference.

    What casino takes that bet?  

    Underground casino B)

    Did anyone win last night...let me check...NO!

    Damn. What a waste of $. I hope I at least win a free quick pick from the last time. When I was in the store people were dropping $100, $50, etc. They must be even more mad. I just bought $2 worth.

    Someone in Morgan Hill did win 3.4 million. 

  9. You're telling me, all I have to do to become a billionaire is win mega and powerball? In.

    Didn't know it was so much. I'll throw in $2 for a quick pick, why not. 

    I would buy wheels a lambo. 

    EDIT: Draw closes in 1 hour and I never carry cash, so I don't think I'll make it in time to find cash and get a ticket lol. Oh well :(: (

  10. I just picked up this Salvatore Ferragamo cardholder. So far, so good been using it for 2 weeks. I like the color, great build quality. Holds 4 cards, 2 on each side, and in the middle an extra cardholder slides out for your ID. It's called the Revivial card case.

  11. Have you guys read Ray Dalio's principles? He has a short 1 hour youtube video that pretty informative if not and goes over where we're at IMO. Were at the end of a cycle, but I wouldn't say times are bad. The market has been crushing it for nearly 10 years? A little correction doesn't hurt. And over time, the US economy prevails. And GDP has been good as well. Trade tensions with China, not so good, but in the end I think both sides will work it out.

    how much does your neighbor want and the miles?

     

    Here is the 1500 mile one that recently sold for $46,000 + 5% fee on BAT - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-mercedes-benz-sl500-17/

    Here is the 5500 mile one that recently sold for $29,750 + 5% fee on BAT - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-mercedes-benz-sl500-29/

    Right now there's a 43k mile on on BAT ending tomorrow and the bid is up to $16,000 already, it just seems these bids came out of nowhere bc I looked at one maybe 2 years ago, good shape and seller wanted $8k for like 85k miles.

    I think its 110-120k miles at $7.9k. High asking price, I would try to get it sub $6k. Its a nice one, I haven't bitten because it isn't quite what I want. Too many out there to settle. I don't think the demand is there for this MY. I've been looking for silver arrow editions. 

    I think the pre 1998 cars were before Daimler (correct me if wrong). People swear by the pre 1998 engines. Bullet proof engines, true MB era. The SL600 V12 engine are amazing. And the pre 1998s had nice-er interiors. Perforated leather seats, optional pano roofs. 

    The only reason I would go 1999-2002 is the AMG styling is standard and you get the xeon headlights.
