But I have to say, I have created quite the little thread here that I do enjoy reading. It's funny how it went from comments about the emblems to house prices in Cali.
Don't let these guys get you down about your emblems... Its your car, do what you want and have fun with it. After all thats what its all about. I'm no stranger to modding vehicles, and have modded more bikes than I care to share here. There is a saying in the world of riding Harleys..... "the rarest Harley is a stock one"..... Have fun.

Well the way I looked at it was that if I didn't like them then I could always take them off fairly easily. Plus, that's all I plan on doing to her besides perhaps a slight tint.
You would think everyone would go easy on the new guy... I mean sheesh. This will only be my 12th post and the E only has 9,800 miles on it. I had an E320 for a short time before the E500 but it just wasn't doin it for me. I drove the E500 and fell in love... I had to have it.

You asked the question....I'm with Harley. If you like them great, but if you ask others their opinion then be prepared for answer that you might not agree with.
Note I haven't answered your question
Have a nice day,

I know you withdrew the "McMansion" comment,
but I have to ask.... are you looking a different house than I am?? The house in the picture is nice, but come on, it's not THAT great! <Back on Topic> I'm not a fan of the V8 symbol. A V12 symbol advertises something special; not a lot of cars out there with V12s under the hood. But the V8 is pretty common.

[QUOTE=Barry45RPM]I've heard of the "320" being removed since the 6 & 8 cyl. cars look the same at a quick glance... but why remove the "500"? If you were that "modest" to begin with, you coulda bought a 320 & added the 500's...QUOTE]
Funny thing, I guess people do to that...
the service guy at my local dealership thought I did this. After I asked him why I would do that, he didn't reply...he then checks the computer and goes..you're right, it is an e500. Whoa...talk about trying to downplay someone.
btw..everyone should know you have a v8 with your e500 on the back. no need to reiterate.
