Cry me a river Benzomonterey. I have to admit, I'm a bit amused that the political correctness disease seems to have affected quite a few people who take "honest and moral objections to my 'racially insensitive' comment". I was not implicitly or overtly making a racially insensitive comment, and if you read my previous post in question, you will find that I was simply referring to the people that, in my area, are disproportiantely found in said cars. That is a fact. I was further not making a derogatory comment towards the person, but rather the car. There are facts in this world, in my area, if you see an ugly cheap car like that, you are statistically likely to see the kind of person I described in my previous post. That is a fact. Whether or not you choose to be offended about it is hardly my problem. I find it amusing that I'm suddenly "racially insensitive". I find you rationally insensitive.

Hmm lets see,

1. We have a Honda Econobox

2. In that box we have a Skinny Ugly Chinese Kid

3. He will regard the Honda Econobox and said Skinny Ugly Chinese kid as Trash.

This sums up to equal Skinny ugly chinese Kid who is trash.


Clear enough for you???

I thought discussing modifications was one of the main reasons for an MB forum...

not just to talk about stuff that you are too lazy to look up in your owner's manual. Btw, even though mercedes spends a lot of money to make the car the best way THEY think it can look, many customers still want that element of individuality and to have something that people will recognize as being part of only their unique car. Also maybe mercedes should drop AMG as a tuner because of the silly modification they make to the car such as a body kit, exhaust, and bigger wheels. I cant wait to hear what you cry about when i tell you I'm planning on blacking out my grill.

Not quite. This is called clipping (or forging, whichever you prefer). You just distorted the meaning of his words by mangling the sentences he'd written. "Ugly Chinese Trash" is quite an amplification, no???

Your the type of person with whom one can never win, so I am giving up. I dont' want to continue this useless flame war taking up valuable space for automotive topics. I read it the way I read it and I stand by how I feel. I am no longer going to respond to this posting and I appologize if I offended anyone.
