we have a few respected/fellow members here that are in law enforcement and drive e60's. Please save the condescending tone for another forum. You drive a BMW, not a rolls royce, and even those owners don't walk on water

Mea Culpa !! I am currently saving up for a down payment on
my first house.....ergo the purchase of a 5 series.
(bought outright in cash).

In order to live in a safe and decent area out here in So. Cali (that isn't over run
by illegal aliens and gang members), one needs to look towards South OC, of
which a decent house in a decent neighborhood runs well into 7 figures.

If it didn't cost so much to live out here, then I would
have already been driving the SL class Mercedes that I have
had my eye on now for quite some time.

Again, I guess I have a bone to pick with law enforcement because of the
so called "Special Order 40" which is not allowing police officers to fully
do their duty.

/off my soap box.

It's tough going through life always being the victim, although it does allow for absolutely NO responsibility for ones choices! Good Luck avoiding the powers that be etc., but don't think for a second that a good neighborhood alone is going to make you safe from "illegal aliens and gang members", you do have to leave your personal nirvana in order to be in the real world! My fear is that no matter where you go there will be something to offend, harass or threaten you, of course none of it will be YOUR fault!

Hmmm ... But yet decides to screw with him anyway. Oxymoron or just plain plain moron?

Damnit Puck! It's yours and everybody else's fault


Btw, your 7-figure house doesn't mean squat on this board.

Who cares if your house is 7 figures or 5 figures?

Who is he trying to impress?
