Hahahaha I wouldn't consider myself large enough, old enough, mature enough, or responsible enough to be even half the man my father is, since that is my standard of what a "man" is. I'm 17 you moron, so yeah I decided to edit it not thinking you'd be sitting on this thread all day with a ruler to your dick and keyboard warrior mentality LOL

Someone obviously struck a nerve with you god damn. It's almost comical.

 

if you checked your email you'd realize every time someone responds to a thread it shows you exactly what they said genius. i merely copy and pasted my email lmao. it's 2:30 am over here in florida, not much to be done at this time of night but argue with stuffy old white dudes who want to tell me about my car. i find it quite enjoyable to be honest

and i was under the impression you were an established adult based off of your car but now it's apparent you drive your parents cars...you're worse than the guy who put the amg badge on his stock v6 hahahaha. don't you have a science test to study for or something?

 

It is great to see that you successfully transplanted an AMG engine into your CL; props for walking the path less traveled. However, berating other members for criticizing your achievements is not a good way to make friends on a forum, even if 'they started it.'

Just some friendly advice if you're looking to make friends on this forum

 

I have a few dummy e-mail accounts setup for the forum on my e-mail server... And no I don't drive my parents cars... it's pretty obvious you know nothing about me.

I work as an audio technician for Live Nation Entertainment here in Greenwood Village during the summer, I own (51%) an IT hosting and communications company I've founded worked on with two other 17 year old friends out of Centennial, Colorado - just moved into an office which is great after 3 years of teaching myself and building a network across 3 states and 2 countries, and I've always done well in school. So all of these things and working my *** off for the last 17 years of my life have led to me being able to drive this car, and wonderful parents as well which I really love and don't take for granted.

Not sure why you are so worked up man it's kind of funny but it's pretty incredible you can just berate person after person that you don't even know from nothing more than a few words written online. Don't you think we face enough adversity in this world already that starting **** online with some people you are supposed to be in a constructive community with is a bit of a waste of time?

It's up to you man I have nothing against you nor does anyone here but it doesn't make any sense to start going off on people in a thread that is supposed to be funny, playful, stupid, and a but of friendly sh*t talking.

 

good advice lawrens and thanks for acknowledging the concept of the swap instead of dismissing it before taking it into consideration

and i had no intention of causing problems, like one of my original posts said - i couldn't tell if you guys were -

A -messing with me and denying i did an amg transplant OR

B -just really thick headed. in which case i thought if i rapid fired what i consider logical explanations then perhaps it would start to sink in (in which case it did for those individuals who didn't understand the concept of my swap)

i highly doubt you've been working since you were born and i'm sure your parents fed you whatever sense of success you feel you accomplished on your own. if this wasn't the case why do you feel the need to defend yourself? and if i don't "really know you" then honestly why do you care what i think of you?

i've made my point and successfully gotten you guys to understand what i was trying to explain in the first place. perhaps i was brash with my method of explaining but i really thought you guys were all kinda slow lol

 

but if you did buy your own vehicle on your own means i totally respect that because there aren't a lot of us who can afford mercedes around our ages. cheers

 

How exactly is founding a business on my own, completely self taught, and without any financial or technical assistance a "fed" sense of success? Perhaps this reflects some type of personal issue you haven't worked out yet? We should explore this on tonight's issue of MBWorld counseling and anger relief.

I didn't pay for all of it, but I put a very large chunk of cash into it. Much more than anyone would be able to afford normally at this age so I think I've earned it. I don't really need your respect or validation though, but nice to know you aren't a completely angry person inside.

 

dude like you said i don't really know you nor do i care to argue with you about your business plans. i can only speculate based off of what you say and the car you have in your signature in which case i was wrong and assumed you were an older more established adult. i know how it feels. and at 17 i was merely speculating that unless you saved up all of your money working at a minimum wage job (considering you cant really get a job until you're 15) then there's a good chance that whatever you consider to be "your money" is actually just money you got from your family.

kind of like the rich kids i know who say it's their car but really mommy and daddy paid for it and their parents name is on the title. if you did work your *** off and it truly is your money that you invested then good for you and at your age yes it is something to be proud of. i myself didn't get into the mindset of making a living until i was 18 and was forced to do so, until then i was merely focused on getting laid and playing music lol

 

Absolutely it's my money man, not that it's really up to you to judge but I definitely know what you mean. I go to a rich high school of kids that are sons and daughters of businessmen, lawyers, doctors, and executives that live in a very exclusive gated community 15 minutes away from my house. These kids get their nice cars purely based on daddy's money and don't appreciate it at all - they take it for granted because they've never worked a day in their life. When I'm essentially working two jobs, taking 6 AP Classes, and a surgical internship, don't you think I know the value of what I drive?

It's not really my place to judge at all but I do know the mentality you're talking about. I'm around it every day, and these are the same people who don't have regard for other's property or their hard work either trust me. Those people are the biggest posers of them all because they drive a flashy 60k Benz when they don't even know what model it is - purely for the image not for the love of the car.

P.S. Yes that is my car in my signature. Took that photo myself, first Photoshop attempt.

 

that's what's up. looks like we have more in common than we thought

and knowing we both have the same mindset of these spoiled individuals i'm sure you can understand when i assumed you were one of these people driving an 07 benz at 17

 

Haha for sure man I totally see where you were coming from, didn't mean to be a dick initially at all. I cannot agree more having to grow up around these people trust me. But I like to screw with people though, I'm not going to lie so that's where the whole recklessly almost getting my *** kicked comes from a lot LOL.

But you have a nice lineup of cars yourself at only 21!

 

thanks man

it's all good; to be honest, i envisioned you as some 35 year old right wing republican who would never consider getting his hands dirty working on his own cars and was just jealous i knew how to do an engine swap at my age but it looks like we were both mistaken. now let's stick to what we do best and enjoy these luxurious rides!

re reading that story from a 17 year olds perspective is wayyy different than reading it thinking you're a middle aged man causing problems in traffic lolol

 

what about suspention? AMG styling? it takes more than just an engine to become an AMG........
you have a lot to learn little brother; some humility too

 

post number 6 from THIS THREAD:

Well in our case - EVERYTHING!!!
AMG installs different: engine, transmission, brakes, springs & shocks, seats and guages, steering wheel, wheels and tires and computer programing and even door sills.

Did i miss anything. AMGs cost 20 to 50 thousand dollars more than a regular model for all those reasons. That is why the badge makes a difference.

 

Yep, you need one of those cool fall nights with low DA and a little day time heat still in the track. What kind of numbers are you expecting given the extra 100 HP?

 

Brah you weigh 115? Are you ok? Lol just messin with you.

 

Lol. Well done.

 

i've said it twice, if not three times already that the cl500 comes with the amg body, or at least mine did because the body panels are clearly stamped amg underneath

and like i've already stated, amg came with ABC suspension just like the cl500. the abc system is unreliable at best and should've never been fitted to these caliber of car in the first place. hence why i removed the system entirely and went for a conventional coilovers. good theory, bad implementation on mercedes behalf

there is no way in HELL it costs 50 grand to make an amg. like i've stated previously the jacked up price tag is for naive individuals like yourself to take pride in. ...

-i have an amg engine
-an amg transmission
-the same bosch ecu that the amg got
-the same suspension the amg got (which i removed for reliability reasons)
-i have the woodgrain steering wheel option
-i have the same leather seats the amg came with (minus the plastic logos WHICH FALL OFF as i'm sure you've experienced, explaining why you take such pride in your sub par seat logos)

and as far as rims i have not seen any rims that look better on my car than the ones i have, let alone AMGs rims (no disrespect to amg rims as they are quality pieces, just not my cup of tea)

and IF the computer programming is different like you claim, then all it takes is a software refresh from a local stealership and i've met the (trivial at best) requirements of your sacred list of all the components on a car(that you probably had to look up on google) (minus the amg brakes, which will be upgraded soon). but this is irrelevant considering anybody who cares about performance (the average amg owner) would want an aftermarket ecu tune anyways.....

so i guess according to you all i need is -

-amg door sills(i'll probably gain some horsepower with that mod)
-a (failure prone) amg logo on my seat and an amg logo on my tach and i'm good right?! i'd be so happy to meet your personal qualifications of what an amg really is....not that you probably even know anything about these cars in the first place, let alone how to work on them....

seems all you care about is the logo and the status. you're a prime example of why everyday people don't like mercedes owners


i'm tired of repeating myself over and over again. you say i have much to learn yet you're the one clearly demonstrating that you lack the necessary mental capacity to read the aforementioned posts....why can't you just admit you were wrong for jumping on the bandwagon? do i really have to go through another three pages of bickering to get it through another persons thick head?

and let's be honest here, do you really even know anything about the 215 platform to begin with....? do you know where the oil drain bolt is on any of your benzes? let alone an air filter?

lol i wasn't even talking to him in the first place

 

i think the problem is you're confused. amg does not make cars, they make modifications to mercedes. just like i did to mine (with the same parts amg uses HEY what a coincidence!)

 

dude I think it's you who is severely confused.

it doesn't matter how many AMG parts you have. what you have is a CL500 with an engine swap. what the hell is so hard to understand about that? you keep trying to make up reasons why all of the sudden your car should be recognized as the real deal but IT'S NOT.

YOU HAVE A CL500 WITH AMG ENGINE. END OF STORY.

 

can you post this on AMG private lounge?

oh that's right you dont have an AMG...

 

i just don't understand how it could be a cl500 when it has a 55 engine...the model designations for mercedes specifically refer to the engine displacement. on the w215 the other differences between the cl500 and the cl55 are very minor, so what's the difference?

and obviously i can't go on the amg forums because it didn't come as an amg

and i'm not the first person to do this swap, nor claim my car is now a 55. so i guess you can suck on both of our metaphorical nuts.

https://mbworld.org/forums/members/1...rojectc55.html

this is just the first person who came to mind but i do recall other people using the same logic i am

if YOU PERSONALLY don't want to accept my car as an AMG, then that is fine and dandy, i do not care and i will stop responding(just let me know that) but if you are too thick to grasp the concept of what i did with my car then i will continue to repeatedly inform(because it seems it takes 3 pages of bickering to get through to a single person at a time) that the only difference between my car and a "real amg" is the brakes and some stupid logos lol

edit: like i've said in the past, if i was doing an e320 to e55 swap and all i changed was the engine then i would totally agree with you guys that my car is not amg. however the w215 non amg and amg models are damn near identical besides the drivetrain

the original person who started this debate even admitted he was incorrect about his assumption of what i did with my car....

 

i'm also not sure why you think you can get this through to me and magically make me realize i don't have the same car as a cl55 right off the lot(minus brakes and logos), if you couldn't read the last few pages i'm fairly stubborn and very firm in my beliefs and personally know these cars inside and out unlike a lot of the people adding in peanut gallery remarks

so in the same vien as you -

I HAVE CL55 END OF STORY

 

or are you upset that you had to pay a lot more for you to say you had an amg and i can say the same thing and it only cost me around 3500 total? =D

i mean jesus dude, you needed advice on taking off the front grille of the car and you're going to try to tell me about MY engine/tranny swap? get real lmao

https://mbworld.org/forums/cl55-amg-...nt-grille.html

edit: and you have to ask other people how to drive your own car?!!?!?!!? i rest my case dude, i have little interest in trying to get this concept through your skull.....i've made all the points i need to make (numerous times at that) so if you can't grasp the concept then that's on you
