I had a 2001 CLK430 and loved it but always craved the CLK55 but alas my bank account couldn't afford it at that time. Actually if you didn't know anything about MB's you probably would not know the difference. However, throwing an AMG badge on the rear deck just made me squirmy because I just felt I was lying to myself...but that is me.

I just bided my time and worked my **** off to get to the point where I could afford an MB that already had the AMG badge coming from the factory. That doesn't make me better than anyone else...it just means we have different standards.

Tell you what. Take pictures of your "AMG" car and post it in the AMG section of this forum. Let's see what kinds of responses you get.

Had so much fun down there, playing J'ouvert.

Here's a few recent pictures from a track event....notice that there's no Kompressor or AMG badge anywhere. And if anyone could pass their car off as an AMG, it'd be me. But I don't believe in badge engineering.

You going to come again?

It can get pricey.
