I've had one guy at the liquor store ask me "is that really an AMG?"

Totally agree with the lonely amg driver,especially the 90's stuff. only people who noticed are hard core enthusiasts of which hardly exist^^. I took mine in for a "proper" alignment at the dealer the other day,the service lady gave an odd look when I said its a C43 and was even more stumped when she realized they sold it new .

Cool

i understand what you mean...people don't know what real classy cars are...went to the dealer this week and the girl at the counter ask me for what model i wanted parts, i told her and she didn't even know if i was joking or if i was serious LOL...so imagine at the car show...nobody knows what kind of car you have so they pass by...

But at the same time i don't care , because when i seat in my car the only thing that matters is that confort and that engine sound

To me its just hilarious that I see people driving these newer cars, that almost seem like one time use and throw away cars, for example: kia, Hyundai, and some others. I've driven some of theses newer cars and they feel like plastic playschool cars. The W202 on the other hand was a quality built machine and even to this day, well kept examples have aged very well. I personalyl would rather drive something older but built with pride and craftsmanship than the newest assembly line hybrid. Not to mention, I just like performance cars. All in all, the W202 to me is a very special car, partially because very few know about it, its a lonely life, but that's why we need a 202 meet!!

I organized one last time but no one showed. We have to set another one during the day.

That's kinda why I started the "where are you from thread" maybe it would lead to some of us getting together. Seems we are scattered throughout.
