My Ride: 2010 M5 alpine white, black full leather, etc.
Spotted my first sighting of an M5 on Zhen Ning Road in Shanghai. Man, there is so much money in this place now. Also, Lambos, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Ferraris galore.
In Beijing there is even an AC Schnitzer shop for modding and for buying completed vehicles. This country is on fire while NYC and the good old US of A is in the doldrums.
We had better wake up again soon.

Just saw another one in silver in front of the Palace Hotel near Wangfujing. Nothing like the taste of power!
And China knows it all too well now.

Look, whether you like it or not, China is ahead of U.S. in some aspects - no, we are not BEST at everything. As a matter of fact, we are not best at MOST things that matter. But to assume that one says that China is a better country than the U.S.A. - let alone, assume it over some light comments... I don't know, maybe you're being a little too sensitive? I don't think anyone who's been to China many times needs to be reminded of any of it's shortcomings - know what I mean?

The problem is, there's A LOT MORE people in poverty than people who are wealthy. All those nice cars, yeah. I know where the money came from... Let's end it at that.

Dude, really??? Is that the question/thought that went through your mind when you read the previous post?

LOL chill out dude, if thats not what he meant then please correct me. Cause when I read the post that's what I took away from it. It seems VERY VERY far fetched to say one country is better than another because a car they saw on the street. I see an M5 everyday...my own. Does that mean that I am a better person than someone else cause of the car I have? HELL NO
sorry, dude. I just know 1600 - met him in person, I know he's not the type of person to make a statement like that, so I rebutted. Don't take it to heart, alright?
