Poser "C24 AMG" at the College of Staten Island...

I just had to take pics of this mess
Looks like a pre 2005 C240 with the 0 removed, an AMG badge tacked on, and some nasty bolt on exhaust tips which look totally fake from the side.

Why do people punish themselves like this?
He could have at least got the numbers right.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the C69 AMG...

I think that car's owner has a relative in Georgia, driving the "E32" I got behind the other day. I also passed a C55 with the V8 Kompressor badges on the fenders - but didn't try to take that picture while driving.

I really don't understand it, but I guess it's there car and I can't get too offended. Shoot, I've considered doing the '05 tails on my Coupe and keep struggling with the "it's not an '05" idea. Just not me....

Damn, on top of that look at his stupid wing. There's no way Mercedes ever offered a wing like that, did they? It just does not go with the styling of the car at all, it's not a civic!

Its unfortunatly comming into all car communities due to the fact that high end cars are becoming less expensive so that means average stupid people who know nothing of them get in them and treat them like a Civic or Neon

And this is how they send out a warning beacon to the rest of us telling us to have a good laugh at the poseurs...should be a Darwin award for this, but it's not lethal (yet).

I saw a C230K with a CLK320 Kompressor badge. I heard the part number for the badge is the same so I'm guessing the car got rear ended so the stupid body shop put it on wrong

What fascinates me is what goes through these peoples' minds as they are ordering the extra badges and putting them on their cars. 95% (or more) of the people who see your car won't know the significance of "AMG" or "Kompressor" anyway. And the 5% who do will immediately know that you are an idiot. Why bother?
