timzerofive · 11-28-2005, 01:26 AM

This thing was just parked outside in the parking lot amongst other cars when i went to fashion island today. I wonder who this rich mofo is.
... next to a Hyundai

Xens · 11-28-2005, 01:37 AM

I'd never park my SLR like that, but I guess if I'm that rich I wouldn't give a damn about dings, my butler's butler will buff it out!

voltron1011 · 11-28-2005, 11:58 AM

I wouldn't be using one as a commuter car, that's for sure. I would drive it for act of driving, not getting some groceries at the local Vons...

The owner of Oakley just traded in his SL65 for an SLR from Fletcher Jones MB. It could of been him...or his wife out to buy a million dollars in jewelry. Oh...it must be nice.

Actually, last weekend I saw a black one when I was eating with some friends in the 99 ranch plaza on the corner of Jefferey & Walnut. Some rich ass chinese guy probably just finished having some lunch and driving through the parking lot.

Because it was in a Chinese plaza full of chinese stores and he looked Chinese. I can't be 100% certain, but... ya he was chinese.

Racist!!!

jmcphillips1 · 11-28-2005, 03:52 PM

I don't think he was being racist, if the guy was chinese then he was chinese. Hello!!

ROFL. so true. that parking is VERY chinese.

Japanese wouldn't drive that thing outside. Koreans would park 5 miles away where there are no cars around.

E90-4life · 11-28-2005, 05:56 PM

I have seen the SLR a number of times, and while it's got an amazing engine and styling... it sadly does nothing for me, but hey, that's me

Well, the chinese guy wasn't this car. I saw the black one with the chinese guy a week ago. This was fashion island yesturday. I'm pretty sure if this person's shopping at fashion island (besides the $500k car), he can't be too cheap. I would imagine it's someone so loaded that he could care less that his/her $500k car is parked next to a $10k hyundai.

Mikey3 · 11-28-2005, 07:56 PM

WOW!!! nice car!!

chinese people arn't as cheap as us VIETS!
