oh well, maybe its cause u got new tires, all i know is first, when it snows like a few years back, no one comes to shovel our snow on the streets so theres like 4 inchs of snow/ice on the ground, i took neighbors' 740 out to pick up her kids, i was going like 25-30mph down the hill then all of a sudden the car just looses control, i was like oh shit dont crash dont crash. The whole way driving to her school(only like 10 min drive) the car skidded at least 6 times. Right after that, I took my old camry to school just to compare and the car only skidded once. Thats the only time I've personally driven a bmw on snow. But people tell me their bmw is bad in snow, the traction control dont even help, etc. My best friend ended up getting a range rover for the snow since he cant use the z3 in snow. He traded his range rover in for an X5 last winter and he swears that thats the best SUV ever. hehe I think so too, I told my parents to get us an X5 for the snow but they ended up giving us their old RX300, grrrrrrr

Must be nice to be able to drive a CLS for like 8 months and get an M3 when wanted...Can your parents adopt me?

For example, someone might say "I can't wait until your punk ass gets out of college with a 2.1 gpa and nobody's hiring and you have to work at Starbucks and drive a '95 Neon"...

Damn, what kind of business does your dad have? I mean, I personally know several Exec. VP's from Chase, Morgan Stanley ( but depending what dept), and even with a $300K per year salary, it would be focken tough to own all those vehicles, live in a nice house ( I assume), and then buy my kids a house on top of that. Man, I need to quit my job and do what your pops does.
If you don't mind me asking, what nationality are you?
Oh yeah, answer the damn question...do you or don't you have any Grey Poupon?

haha, well my dad owns his own business and my mom is a VP at salomon smith barney. They suck though, I wanted to get an S4 but they wouldnt let me. They said the car is too small and if I crash, i'll die. Thats one reason y they like the CL cause they are big. Yet they wont get me a mercedes because they think I am too young for nice cars even though i tell them mercedes are much safer than acuras. I don't consider myself lucky or be in an above average family, I have friends that gets new vettes/bmws for presents.

Outside of the scholastic and moral (subjective...) requirements there are further issues when a International student applies. I do assume that you would fall into the International area since as you stated, you and your family moved from Hong Kong a few years ago. From what I understand all International applicants must meet the same requirements as domestic but also have a letter of recommendation from their country's Minister of Defense. Not something easy to come by!!
