so the last couple days i've been thinking about trading my 300E for a 190E evo. i told my co-worker this and she asked to see a picture of the car. when i showed her i was in complete shock to hear her say, "ew, that looks ugly."

WTF!!!!


i was soooo pissed on so many levels. i couldn't believe that someone would say it was ugly let alone add an "ew" to it as well. so freakkin pissed...

i calmed myself down by realizing this comment is coming from a person that..

1) thinks a solara is a good looking car

2) has no mercedes benz knowledge

3) is female


i mean... i didn't even show her bad pix of the car. i showed her pix found here http://www.geocities.com/nideggerh/evo2.html


ugh.. that really made me mad. maybe i just have too much love for the w124, w201 but godddddddaamn, she is so wrong

vraa

It's a girl. Don't worry.

JohnCL

Even if it not a girl don't worry....Not everyone will like everything.

Keep the W124. Any Evo or Evo II here in North America is pretty much a kitted car since they were never brought to the US or certified by EPA/DOT. That means you're going to get, at the most, a 2.3-16 under the kit or worse. So, don't look at pics of real Evolution models, take a look at the kitted cars . . . especially what it takes to fill that huge fender flare.

SVantley

I too do not like the evo I or II at all . Since you love this car maybe eveyone else should too

myNAMESterry

your sarcasm is not appreciated..... and the oakland a's suck... they sucked so much that the yankee fans fought the a's fans during the saturday game last week.. i was laughing at them.. stupid a's

SVantley

Little upset Yes pick on the A's that will get me mad

Well I like them. Exceot for the huge evoII wing...I think if I wanted to drive a UFO then I would. I think the evoI wing is nicer looking. But for sure Its not what your "co-worker" thinks anyways. Its your image/time/money invested in the car...but that is unless your gettin a lil' sumtin sumtin from her...dont worry.

I agree. My dad's EVO 1 is the dogs nuts. I'll get more pics once he gets back off his hols

Benz Lover

Dog nuts ...wet and sticky..perhaps encrusted with fleas...not baggin it car its self...just the huge wing...

HansonAMG

It's an english thing you wouldn't understand, the dogs nuts basically means its the best thing since sliced bread as u call it awesome, wicked and rad.

myNAMESterry

dog's nuts sounds like it would be a bad thing.... depending on how you look at it i guess

There are some real ones out here. I have a friend that had one imported when it was new and used to drive it all over Manhattan. I seriously doubt he was the only one.

MTI

Why do I seriously doubt that, considering the hassle it would have been to import and certify/federalize/rape it. There is a true Evo II up in western Canada. There are 16 valves that have been kitted, even turbocharged, but I haven't heard or seen a true, one of 502 built, Evolution II in the U.S., other than in Gran Turismo 4

Benz Lover

Hehe!
I love this....awesome, wicked and rad
Thats cool that "dog nuts" is a positive british term. But nowadays teens and real "kewl" people use slang in an absurd fashion. I heard someone recently refer to a super hot female as being beast. Now my interpetation of beast is a cruelly rapacious person!! But then again look at most of todays youth. And I thought I was a messed up teenager. See I would use "dog nuts" like this...
"man that car licks the dog nuts"
Strange to say .... but kinda funny.

Benz Lover

Actually...I live in a county of like millionaires and have actually seen one ripping through the streets out here...but like you said with so many aftermarket shops out there who knows...but as far as driving one around manhattan...Yeah If he was some sort of coke lord...maybe..

HansonAMG

Hey MTI chillout. Whats with the attitude all the time. Do you suffer from Little man syndrome. The guy said his friend has one so it might be true. My dad has one and he couldn't give a **** if someone inthe states had one or not I suggest you do the same.

MTI

Hanson, I'm just stating the facts, not causing speculation and false information, so if that upsets you, perhaps you're the one that needs to take a "chill pill." In case you haven't noticed, I really admire the W201 series and have spent quite a bit of time working on them and learning about what makes them great cars, so misinformation about them does bring out the worse in me. That's probably the "syndrome" I suffer from, but call it what ever you like.

Benz Lover

Ahhh..it's the "father" syndrome going on around here.
