Your is the possessive form of you; yours.

You're is the contraction of "you are"

Amen to that statement in bold. People on here act like a $25,000 pre-owned Benz is basically like a Bentley. And pardon me if your Benz was new and fully loaded, still cheaper than your run-of-the-mill, well-equipped Chevy Tahoe. Getting caught up in a brand's logo...

Exactly! We are not driving a S63. A C-class in my area is a run of the mill car here. They are everywhere. Now I'm not saying they are teenagers or people that mod them. I'm the only c300 in my area that has stuff done to it. All the others are stock with people 40 years old +. I'm only 23 and this is my first Benz and I'm no where near rich lol.

Some new Honda's sell for more then $25,000! And they are not even close to a high-end / luxury car.

idk how many times ive seen someone on a car forum plastidip something and decide they don like it.

It would be hard for you to agree that its not useful in that regards, but dont mind us, by all means, continue to be a jackass

mbworld.org doesnt mean we all have an infinite disposable income to blow on retarded **** like powdercoating your grill and then buying a new one if you dont like it.

****ing retarded if you ask me... btw id love to see your so called "taste"

so what is your point? this isn't english class. Why do you think I put that statement in quotations? I wasn't even the one who wrote that.

I'm not sure how durable plasti-dip is, but I think it should be left for small jobs, like getting rid of chrome trims.


This is a discussion board for a reason.


Haha!
OP didn't post to have a discussion, he is basically insulting everyone who is using "trailertrash mods" like plastidip vs blowing $400 on powdercoating.

It wasn't the fact that you posted an opinion and nobody is calling you a hater...it was the way you worded it. Could've done without the bashing and calling it "trailer trash mods".

If it was open to discussion like, what are the pros and cons of plasti-dip or why do people plasti-dip things instead of powdercoating I'm 100% sure you would've gotten different replies.

I have plasti-dipped many things (never wheels though) and it's pretty damn awesome. Sprayed many many emblems, trims, and other stuff for my car and my friends cars.

Have you ever tried it plasti-dip? just curious...

Hahah it's okay. Someone like me will never make a mistake when it comes to your and you're....I lived with an English major for 4 years who never failed to correct me and I guess it has stuck around

So I live in Europe, right... And a C class is actually a pretty nice car. A BS is down right awesome. But in the end no one really cares. I suggest you folks cool it with the hate. No one cares, but insults, harrasing and stalking will get you suspended.
