C240
Non-Enthusiasts.
You guys have all done it. You see another w203 and try to catch up to see if they know the least of their C-class. Nope. Just grandma cruising town. 
How do you guys check to see if the w203 driver nearby is, perhaps, a forum goer? I've resolved to flashing my third brake light or my fogs a few times until something happened. We should start something like this!
Aside from the topic, which one of you 230 drivers totally molested my 240 in a race in the Orlando/Winter Park area? Middle aged man, car was either silver, white, or black.

how do u flash ur third brake light?? other than tapping the brakes...?
and i like the fog lights idea, although i usually just pull up and check for any noticeable mods, an enthusiast is usually a good enough driver to be aware that the same model car is lurking in his mirror and then will react

You guys are all wrong about the badges. You have to badge your C240 to a CLK240 then you will get instant 100hp.
This person knows what their doing. (took pic yesterday in Glendale on Brand)
By the way if the badge is crooked and tilted this helps in aerodynamics. So this driver knows what he is doing.

But yah, I was thinking about the very same thing the other day while driving past a modded C230 (Tan w/ flat badge and CL grill) and again when I spotted a black C320 w/ wheels and exhaust (if you were a OceanBo for DimSum yesterday, then yes YOU).
I'm down for a MBWorld forum sticker if you guys are! Heck I'll even design and have em cut if you guys are really in for it. Or... even worse... an Emblem. We know how MB owners love their random emblems.
It'll be like a "C350 6spd Kompressor AMG MB World Black edition".

LOL Karo, dang, at least they didn't over-shoot and call it a CL240.

I don't roll up to w203's unless they're modded. if they're modded (and don't have those fake Brabus wheels), then there's a high likelihood that they're on the forum.
usually I'll give the thumbs up, but there have been instances where the person was such a douche that I ended up giving them a jack-off sign.

I have yet to come across a tuned C on the road next to me.

Yah, seriously. I never knew that tuned C's really existed (being that I worked with BMW and all other manufacturers) until I got onto this forum and started realizing what to look for. It's nice to know they're not all stock lmao.
-oh yah, designing decals as I type. Samples should be up soon.

1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
There are no modded w203s anywhere around me except Gainesville. There are two that I've seen more than once, but they are both complete *******s. One of them might actually be on this forum, so if you're reading this, I'm sure you're not a douche. I've mentioned it before, but there's a C320 Kompressor coupe at UNF, and I saw an '07 C230 AMG (and parked behind it). To top it all off, he had the fake Brabus wheels!!! No joke.
