Who or where do they call this car w209?

 

Its 07 clk500 mercedes white convertible

When I figured out how to post a pix here ill post it with my hummer

W209 is what the manufacturer calls your particular platform. Class CLK Type Coupe

Since you have a CLK500 you have the 5.0 liter engine, CLK320 would have a 3.2 liter engine and the top of the line CLK550 would have a 5.5 liter engine. It's another way car manufacturer's call their products to know what generation/chassis/engine combination they have.

It's on like donkey kong!!!

De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight is set and will take place in Las Vegas on Dec. 6.

The biggest boxing match in years will, indeed, take place. Oscar De La Hoya has agreed to a Dec. 6 match with rising superstar Manny Pacquiao.

The official announcement, barring last-minute reversals, will be made in a conference call Thursday morning.

The match, the grand finale of 35-year-old De La Hoya's unprecedented career as the box-office king in a sport that has survived on his back for more than 10 years without a dominant heavyweight, will be held at the MGM Grand Hotel Garden in Las Vegas. The pay-per-view will be available on HBO.

Ten days ago, Richard Schaefer, De La Hoya's partner in the operation of Golden Boy Promotions, and Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank had announced that negotiations for the much-anticipated fight had broken down and it would not take place. Schaefer and De La Hoya wanted a 70-30% split of receipts, which would include a projected 2-million-plus pay-per-view buys. Arum and Pacquiao had balked and the deal was off.

In the interim, as recently as two days ago, stories had appeared that the front-runner to replace Pacquiao on De La Hoya's farewell card was promoter Dan Goossen's Paul Williams, who had a victory over Antonio Margarito. Margarito, who is from Mexico, was the recent surprise winner over Miguel Cotto in a fight that was to set up De La Hoya's next opponent.

But when Margarito won, that took the Puerto Rican Cotto out of the picture and De La Hoya had said all along that he did not want his farewell fight to be against a fellow Mexican. De La Hoya, of Mexican heritage, was raised in East Los Angeles and won an Olympic gold medal for the United States.

But the Williams talks apparently were mostly wishful thinking, and De La Hoya agreed to drop his percentage of the take in a Pacquiao bout to a two-thirds/one-third arrangement.

They will fight at 147 pounds.

Pacquiao, 29, the most celebrated and recognized athlete in the Philippines, has won titles at five lower weights and is more comfortable around 136-140 pounds. De La Hoya has won multiple titles and is more comfortable around 154.

The largest pay-per-view fight in boxing history was the 2007 match between De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr., won by the now-retired Mayweather. That drew 2.4 million buys. De La Hoya previously was involved in the largest non-heavyweight pay-per-view fight when he suffered his first loss, in 1999, against Felix Trinidad.

De La Hoya will take a record of 39-5 with 30 knockouts into the fight. Pacquiao's record is 47-3-2, with 35 knockouts.

It's quite disturbing reading through some of the posts. *sigh*

 

All I can say is... don't generalize all balikbayans as if you know them personally. Not unless they do something horrible to you, leave 'em be. Just laugh it off whenever you hear them talk with a very bad "twang". Yes, some of them act up as if they've got all the riches in the world... who 'effin cares? Mind your own business. Some of them may show off all of what they have... just shrug it off. I'm for sure they'll eventually run out of things to show off. So, who's got the last laugh now right?

 

I've been going back to Manila at least once a year either on vacation or on business trip. And had quite a few encounters with people from the airport literally "asking" for money or goods. I just smirk at them and leave. So, should I think and generalize that all of NAIA employees are like that? Of course not.

 

Balikbayans has their own individual reasons/causes why they act such way. It's not you who are feeding them... are you? So, who gives a sh*t why they're like mayabang and all? It is those pakealamera people who needs to figure out what to do with their lives... to make it better.

 

we all live differently so stop being too judgmental.

 

peace.

I totally agree with you. This thread makes me sad in that people from the same country are deviating away from each other instead of uniting. We all have different attitudes and choices that we have made in our lives. Whether to stay in their own country or go somewhere else for a better opportunity. When white americans go to europe to return to their true mother land how come the european locals welcome them with open arms? Albeit there are white americans that may seem arrogant or obnoxious because they are not accustomed to european ways. From the previous posts why do Philippine locals welcome balikbayans with open arms and hands with the palm side up waiting for pasalubong? I'm happy to say that whenever I go home my relatives never greet me with their hands out but with open arms and a big smile on their face to welcome me back. When I go home I try to blend in with my people but there are habits that are hard to stop within the 2-4 weeks that I am home. I don't know the exact terminology but I'll call it culture shock. Let's say one of you city people go to the province to visit. Don't you get looked at funny or get treated a certain way? Don't you look at the locals in a certain way too? After a city person spends sometime in the province they get accustomed to their surroundings and pick up local habits. This is what happens to balikbayans that pick up habits abroad. If balikbayans come back to the Philippines with a big ego, start flaunting their money and looking at you funny these people are what I call balikyabang and they are easy to overlook. But if they start insulting you directly, ordering you to do things or physically assaulting you then by all means beat their as$ to a pulp.

Peace mga kababayan ko.
