    its been a long while

    how is everyone doing? hope all is good for you all. well just to let you all know that i have been up to just plain working. hadn't logged on since my laptop crashed and currently in process of buying another one. uh in December when i was on leave (vacation) in the states i bought a 2004 M-B E500 visible on my myspace at www.myspace.com/rardz paid a bit much but it was well worth it, put the corolla up for sale with stock engine, sold the turbo'd one to a friend. so yeah thats about it, BTW the corolla is 6K with 62,500 miles on chassis and tranny and 32K on the stock engine. well now you a bit of what i have been up to, hit me up and let me know whats up.

    not at all, im sacrficing one 7/8ths of my paycheck. payments are very high but i was willing to sacrifice considering this is the first vehicle im actually paying for on my own. so basically its my truly first wholly owned car.

    thats good, i want to get rid of my car but i dunno im still attached to it, it has a lot of good memories and bad ones. i will tell you this the corolla will out handle the MB in turns like you would't believe.

    tell me about it xD do you have full suspension setup? (HKS/TRD/THINGY_LOL)?

    I'm missing my front sway bar for some reason xD and no tower brace yet... so I can't comment on super handling

    thats why i bought it but i don't plan to do anything to it mod wise just the rims and minor things similar to the amg setup.

    I have everything except the front strut tower brace, i sold that to my friend i sold the engine to.

    01rollas added 3 Minutes and 26 Seconds later...

    more than likely they will be silver with a chrome lip , all chrome and they will jack my car. A drop i can't do due to the airmatic suspension, which can automatically raise and lower istelf and the push of two buttons or on auto, once it hits 75 mph it drops a little bit and goes into sport mode.

    i saw one exactly as mine but with black on black and hella dark limo tint with 20" staggered CARLSSON wheels but it was too much. it was an 06' with 24K miles and the dealer was asking 44K. i think silver is easier to maintain and makes them look bigger without being too flashy.

    very pimp! My eye doctor drives a car similar to that. So why did you buy a car when you are going back to japan and letting that beauty depricate in the garage?

    thanks, reason i bought is because i wanted to have something that i could have little or no time to pay off when i go back to school. i will have about 3 years and few months to pay it off by the time i get i out of the MC as of right now i only have a 1 year and 9 months till i E.A.S out of the Corps, since my dad's company moved he drives my moms Civic Hybrid since the company is 45 minutes from our house as to only 15 minutes previously. My mom is driving my Merc for the next 9 months till she buys a Camry Hybrid when i return for my last tour in the states.
