Prepare youself. I don't know who thinks this is ever a good idea to mutilate a perfectly good W209.

"Even normally okay performance upgrades like the Brabus brakes and wheels feel disgusting by association. Unsurprisingly, the car didn't even come close to reserve, and no wonder — who would pay to drive a car that looks like a stormtrooper tangled with a clown convention. To whoever commissioned this car, may God have mercy on your soul. "




but there are a lot of tv's in it, so its still partially cool, right??!? jk.

what a disaster of car and you can only imagine the trainwreck of a human being that thought it looks good. what an idiot.

atleast he didn't do it to a 55. That would kill me.
This was intentional by the builders to look like ***?

what is even scarier is someone like this probably either lives with their parents or pays rent at some POS apartment and has no retirement savings at all bc doing this to your car is way more important than buying a house or having a future.

Did you get a chance to see the driver? I am curious to find out what type of person would do this to a perfectly good car. C'mon, he/she was INTENTIONAL about the "design"

Where did they mount the Flux Capacitor?

(Another sad thing is, the work is actually pretty good, at least in the pictures, and particularly when judged against how such, uh, "special" cars are typically assembled. That is, in someone's backyard with a giant roll of duct tape, a tub of body filler and a couple of cans of spray paint.)

the guy was Middle Eastern and had a staring problem....or he may have just been checking out my car since it was much nicer than his...or maybe he thought it was uglier than his because his taste is way off.

well, it makes me feel good to know that my taste in cars is better than some people.

clk fan - I would stare at your car if I saw it, but it would most likely be out of envy
