HaHa... What do they say in Tennesse? "You can tie a pretty bow around a turd but it still stinks"

In West Virginia: "You can put lipstick on a pig but you won't want to sleep with it"

In Alabama: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"

That is only almost as bad as putting AMG badges on a real Benz. At least the Hyundai owner can claim ignorance, lol

If it's a sarcastic joke the owner is intentionally doing, then it's funny. If the owner is trying to be serious, then that is beyond pathetic.

Either way, I got to give it to him/her for being committed to joke/conversion. I'd like to see and hear the conversation at a stoplight if a real E55 rolled up on the E52? You think a thumbs up would be exchanged ?

I would have to roll down my window and ask the owner the question...WHY?

well that is certainly either very embarrassing or a pretty clever joke. either way that guy has spent waaaay too much time on that car. i love the E52 the best, that is what makes me laugh the hardest.

what does the interior look like? think he has replaced all the interior logos too?

He has a Genesis motor that he stroked (or he shortened a 55 motor) and swapped-I give him props for mad engine work...and I think I remember reading that the Hyundai/Daewoo platform was used when MBZ thought of the E platform....

Yeah the interior was all cloth and not changed. It was pretty disco alright. It was in front of my office building (Wells Fargo) in dt SD.

I think the look was a serious attempt at posing, and not a joke. I really like how the grill was grafted in. Did you notice the guy even did the antennae and flat hood badge.

So it's a dawoo? hahhaa. I almost walked by it and said screw it but then decided to take some quick pics and share. hehe.

are people that concerned with what people think of them? and if so, isn't this exponentially worse than any possible gains - i mean wont most people notice that this is clearly not an MB and mock him more?? i am just baffled why anyone would dump so much time, money and energy into such a project.

I was just with the gf at lunch and discussing the same thing. You'd have to be a moron to think you'd fool people with it and you'd have to date an even bigger moron who would fall for it...
