Creeper Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am refering to Corkscrews post a while ago..... He bought his wife a S600 Benz and quite a few posters have slated him for telling this on a thread here. This is a Motoring thread, and an S 600 is a motor. If he had bought his wife a Toyota Yaris or a Honda Jazz and posted it here, there would not have been any negative posts. So why should there be negative posts cos its's a Benz? If you think it's extravagent and wasteful, then that's your own problem, cos of course, I'm quite sure if you was rich , you would be running around in the cheapest car available........................I don't think so! Give the guy a break. I would love someone to buy me a Benz!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Nah, it's (nearly) all friendly ragging, Corky loves to show off his motors, we love to give the lucky b@stard a hard time. Jealous, of course I am (but I'd never buy a Benz, go to Brussels, they're just taxis there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinthee Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Anybody who criticizes a man for his wheels should be shot. Benz are excellent. I've had a couple. Personally, I like beemers better cause I like to drive. In Thailand, both are too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. If you want a new toy and can afford it, go for it. I like toys too, but cars are not on my favorite list. I'd much rather drive my old pickup than a car. My wife thinks I'm crazy for buying a 500,000 baht four wheel drive diesel Yanmar tractor. What do I do with it? I play with it and I enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeInSurin Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Whats the difference between a Benz and a porcupine. A porcupine has the pricks on the outside. (just a joke - no insult intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiboxer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Agreed...if Corky can afford a Benz and wants to drive one, then it's ok. Personally, I think Benz is a poor choice for BKK..these cars are made to be driven on wide, open roads (like the Autobon) and are hard to negotiate small sois with. In addition to this, the parts will kill you financially and their distribution isn't as good as the Japanese models. Plus, the prices on the new Benz's are outrageous. In the States, you could buy one for about 2/3 of what it would cost here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
