pffff.....i wish!

 

[BeEatNU]

i wish i paid 70k ...it's more like $100k, BMWs are getting ridiculously expensive here in the UAE.

i love the 335 btw, it's fast as hell, congrats man.

hot damn!

well the purchase is well worth it IMO. The 335i is soo sexy (not to say your awesome M3 is not ) I didn't get mine yet, I've got quoted between $48-52k for the 335i in Torrance,CA. so I'm debating lol.

seriously go for it, the 335 is stunning, and it's just as fast as the E46 M3 (which i used to have), as soon as you take delivery of the car you won't look back and you won't even think of the money you spent! :lol

I traded in my 2005 E60 M5(V10 500hp) and i thought i would miss my 3 year old M5, but as soon as i drove off in the M3, i didn't even look back, the car is a beast, it's like an M5 only smaller and coupe version.

go for it man, you won't regret the 335, and not only that, since it's a twin turbo the car is easily moded for more horse using a chip.

[Metalic Sand]

Damn I was thinking how the hell does he read it from that far away, Guess i just have bad eyes. Good point lol.

 

[AllGamer]

Akira Toriyama ftw

 

[Mardil]

Hello, I've never posted in a pick-up thread, I've been waiting for that special moment where I went HD... and I finally did it this month!!!

So first, out with the old....

This TV served me great for like 6-7 years...
Still use it to play Wii, PS2, Xbox, SNES and N64 though It's kind of my own "retro-TV" now.

I also said goodbye to my laptop... it died around two weeks ago... giving me the perfect excuse to buy a new one.


So now, the real good stuff:

Changed my old zv6000 for a Macbook, so far I've been nothing more than happy.

I had so many games I wanted for my DS that it was impossible to keep up (financially) and, carrying both, a DS and an mp3 player was such a drag. Plus, I wanted to try what the homebrew community had to offer. Haven't made the jump to DS:L, and I don't think I'll do it anytime soon (waiting for next redesign or price drop).

I got a PS3, which had you asked me a year ago I would've said NO WAY. This came as a surprise to me because my parents wanted a Blu-ray player and I HAD to point them towards a PS3:lol.

I got CoD4 GOTY edition, Soul Calibur IV, and Assasin's Creed from a friend.
My father wanted Superman in Blu-ray... I thought it was a lot worse... it's bearable for the most part.

And finally... my favorite pick-up of the year (together with the Macbook) so far...

It's an LN40A550. It's got a lot of cool features, but among them... it's 1080p, 60hz, 30,000:1 contrast ratio, 40"... etc. The difference between playing great games on a SD and playing great games the way they're meant to be played is impressive.

Ohh I also got a USB and this keychaing... from my mom and a friend respectively...

 

[marwan]

a camera shot using my Nokia E71, not the best, i hope Nokia fixes the tint and saturation colors with a firmware update soon. Other than that the phone is excellent!

 

[marwan]

for a second i though that was a modded DS with an Apple logo! :lol

[nny]

Akira Toriyama ftw

Nice one, Toriyama's the man and I quite like this one )

 

[kairu]

where did you get all of this?!?! I would def buy em.

I get most of mine through Hobby Link Japan. They are pretty hard to get after their release, and I've gotten a few off of ebay but they can get expensive. They are the 1/8 scale Megahouse figures (Portrait of Pirates).

 

[XenonOxide]

Quite alot of stuff for me this month Broke but happy :lol

Blu ray! Kung Fu Hustle technically my first Blu ray movie

Never expected to buy Crackdown but for 5 quid I just had to! Burnout Paradise well worth getting again for that price.

Loads of new dvds!...

...and HD DVDs! - No more now, making the move to Blu ray. So damn cheap though.

 

[marwan]

are the mini and the x5 yours too?

if yes, i want your job!

yep, mine

 

[Keen]

My baby is home, a 2009 M3 (fully loaded with DCT sequential transmission, that's Dual Clutch Transmission with paddle shift)

Very nice! A friend of mine has the M6, that thing is insane and I bet the m3 is as well.

And is that a Bentley in the neighbour's garage? :O

 

[Hive]

Akira Toriyama ftw

COWA!!
Would it be wrong to say this is Toriyama's most charming (and best written) manga to date?

I was really blown away..

 

[neojubei]

The bluetooth keyboard was 59.99 with no tax at circuit city

 

[dankir]

I think a couple of his neighbors have Phantoms and Bentleys

 

[Fady K]

I think he lives in the UAE.

wow, you must be a millionaire

I live in the UAE as well, and I wish living here made me a millionaire =P... Im not even a thousand-aire

 

[SIP YEK NOD]

I'm actually laying back quite comfortably in my chair

 

[marwan]

Very nice! A friend of mine has the M6, that thing is insane and I bet the m3 is as well.

And is that a Bentley in the neighbor's garage? :O

my bro has the M6 and it's a beast, i drive it very frequently. And the M3 is a smaller bad ass version of the M6 and M5

the Bentley GT in the background is my Neighbor's, but you know, i drove the Bentley GT and that thing drives like a Pig! it's big and heavy, it's fast, but no where near as M3/M6/M5 fast....i drove the Bentley GT and it was the dullest car i have driven, it's devoid of any sportiness feel. Honestly i wouldn't take if it were offered to me for free! lol ...actually I'd take it then sell it the next day! :lol it's too luxury to be considered as a sport car.

 

[BdoUK]

Actually got the TL at the end of July but I'm just now getting around to posting pictures.

So far I'm loving the car. The amount of technology in it is mind blowing. I also got a sweet deal since my local dealer is trying to clear the 08s off the lot.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Both Geo Wars & EBA were reduced, so I finally picked them up.
Got Braid and Bionic Commando with the Microsoft points.

[marwan]

no i never bought a 6 series. maybe you're referring to the M6, which is my brothers.

 

[marwan]

Marwan. How much does American cars cost over there?

American cars here are very cheap. But hardly anyone ever buys them, they're just not popular and are cheaply made.

Most people buy German and Japanese cars.

I figured. Judging by pics of various places overseas, there doesn't seem to be many American cars.
