Yes Mercs are like corolla's here. M3's aren't that special high performance cars you see once in a while...they're everywhere here. As are anything Mercedes w/ a "55" designation.

ding ding ding you are correct!
i'm right near Fletcher Jones (socal's number one mover of MB) so i see a lot. Hell i even see those dam Maybach's driven by the owner...which i think is rediculous, since if you're buying that car you shouldnt be the one driving it.

agreed, it's where all the old money and new money reside. There are custom housing tracks that cost you 3 mill just for the land and then ontop of that you have to build a house...not just any house mind you it has to actually be approved by the HOA!!!
Yes The OC definitely lives up to the hype on TV...anything south of Newport (referred to as South County) is filled w/ the affluent

it's because it's an MB period. Nothing more needs to be said..."i have an SL55" frankly porsche twin turbo's are nothing here...i see a lot of those. The rare ones are the GT2 and 3's. occassionally i'll see the CGT scream by along w/ the enzo. Lambo's arent too uncommon either. People are buy the top of the line, doesnt matter what it can do, they just want the best that their money can buy. I see old ladies driving E55's and you know that car will never see the light past 80mph.

I'm more interested in the Yacht dealers lining up both sides of Pacific coast HWY than even the Ferrari dealer. Last time I was at that dealership, there was no customer, not even a dam tourist. That particular day, they even had a Mclaren F1, a rare GTO, a few F40, and tons and tons of F355. It's almost as if I was at a Mitsubishi dealership.
Just curious Foo fighter, would you happen to know how much one of them funny looking boxy little houses that lined the whole harbor cost? Not the big fancy ones built into the cliff heading towards Laguna, but the little square ones that are painted pink, yellow, powder blu and other funky gay colors.

This CLS is the current trendy car to have for the Orange County trust fund babies.
here's an example of the craziness...see something shiny and silver?
and this is from today...
