Mercedes Badged as Ferrari Is Awful



This... thing started life as a Mercedes SL500, and was promptly given a half rate "pimp my ride" treatment.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage. >>

O...M...G! Considering the front of this... vehicle... reminds me of Kryton from BBC's 'Red Dwarf', makes me wonder what blockhead would create such a monstrosity. [Think I need one of those lil' bags from an airline seat.]
Cheers,
Jeff

Front end looks like a sporty version of the Queen Family Truckster.

It's ok,
I have seen a '08 red Toyota Tundra with ferrari badges slapped all over a few times here in Santa Barbara.
It makes me extremely sad

The Ace Hardware expanded metal over the lights is to my mind the "crème de la crème" of the overall tackiness--only one word come to mind:

Is he selling it as a Ferrari? That would be fraud.

More silliness.

I see Honda Civics with lifted rear spoilers quite often, as if the car could actually go fast enough to need one.

There are similar things online for sale, such as cases that make the cheap Apple Watch look like the gold version.

It looks like he's hiding it in the woods and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to be seen on the street with that thing either.

What, he's embarrassed to drive a Mercedes?

I have to wonder if he's begging for a slap or two.
