Hahaha I've seen that episode before, and that clip personifies my high school perfectly. Actually embodies the sentiments of my city perfectly...

Off topic but speaking of posers, yesterday a 300 pound power lifter threatened to beat me to a pulp after I had to honk my horn at him since he came into oncoming traffic to do a U-turn and didn't notice me. Almost hit me within inches, and so he pulls up next to all 115 pounds of me and starts telling me he's going to break my neck and all for "disrespecting him with my horn" so at the next light I told him to get out and beat the **** out of me and he wouldn't. He just said "NEXT TIME BRAH NEXT TIME YA *****" and what do you know I'm still here (without a scratch on me), after taunting him and saying I wasn't scared of his chicken arms (in reality probably 20 inch biceps). Stupid to do that, yes. Did I prove a point about the 99% white neighborhood I live in, completely.

"Hey bruh, i got my lifted truck with metal militia decals on it and neck tattoos bruh and a ride in motocross bruh, sup bruh"

And 22" biceps usually means like 3" *****, probably why hes so angry...

I totally agree with you! I was the worse of the worse posers ever! So I have bragging rights when it comes to poser advice!

Now, let's move on to a more interesting segment of this discussion. Namely.. your car!

If Mercedes Benz AMG did not build that car and put that badge on the trunk, you can't. It's not an AMG. Simple!

Personally? You could have just left the car un-badged and enjoyed the performance instead of passing it for a real AMG car!

he felt bad for you, do you really think someone who prides themselves on their body composition would start beating your "115 pound self" up? i weigh 160 and i'd feel bad going head to head with someone who is 115 pounds...he also saw you have an amg and realized you'd just sue the **** out of him with your really cool expensive attorney. i must ask, if you had to guestimate, approximately how many inches is your head stuck up your ***? you guys are clueless and sad lmao

how many dudes with 22 inch arms and 3 inch *****' have you gone through to attest to that statement? lmao

putting an amg badge on your stock v6 gives you right to tell someone with an amg (minus the seat and tach logos) what to do with his car.....riiiight lmao

the more i read from you guys the more i envision 115 pound fairy conservatives who would never man up in a real fight, let alone do any real work to their cars. i see why you guys want to give me crap now about getting to have the same hand built amg driving pleasure you guys get, especially considering i'm much more capable and knowledgeable about working on these german cars at 21 than you guys would ever get close to in your lives. continue please

i've yet to put the amg badge on the trunk but knowing it pisses people like you (and everyone else in this thread who would hate on anybody who does an amg swap) makes me want to find some really strong glue so it never comes off

are you fools too thick to realize that an amg is just a modified mercedes? or are you guys taking too much pride in the fact that you paid a lot more for your mercedes? please stop talking like you guys actually know ANYTHING about cars....

edit:just because you (or your parents) can afford a mercedes doesn't mean you know anything about them

how much money did you have to borrow from daddy to pull off such extensive and critical modifications?! blacking out those side markers and v8 badges must have taken all day for you to do, man you should be proud! lmao tools

i also love how you can't seem to come up with any logical rebuttals to anything i've had to say, just nonsensical spewing of peanut gallery remarks like a child who can't shut up in class

You don't have to get all defensive and personal over your cl500 and acting like a little smart-*** brat on an internet forum over a car

Noone cares about your opinions because have made it quite obvious for everyone that you are an uneducated idiot, this is the last response you will receive from me - you aren't worth any of my time
oops struck a nerve

funny that you accuse me of being defensive yet you're the one defending yourself now

i'm not stating opinions genius, i'm stating facts. whether or not i went to college, i bet i could still run circles around you mentally and physically

like i said, if you wanna tell me it's not an amg then you can suck on my nuts son

and are you contradicting yourself when you call me a smart ***, then go on to call me uneducated?! like i said when i was a kid, rather be a smart *** than a dumbass ahahahahahaha

please don't leave me =(....if all i have to argue with is the dude who put the clk55 amg badges on his stock v6 (who probably isn't natively english speaking) and the 115 pound dude who tells awesome stories about how he told some 300 pound guy to hit him, then i must say i have little interest sticking around =(

i hope i get banned from this ****, you guys are all honestly a bunch of little sad excuses for men. the useful benz owners are on benzforum...this forum is just filled with pansies who wanna shoot the **** and stroke each others egos about the MSRP of their cars lmao. have fun out in cali with your superficial lives and let me guess, bright silver paintjob

later pansies

are you guys confused? a car gets its power from the engine (crazy right?) and my engine is a handbuilt amg engine....same 55 engine that come stock in the amg....why is this so hard to understand?!

edit: or are you another one of these dweebs who take great pride in your plastic emblems? the amg logo probably adds 30 or so horsepower or at least so i've read....
