I know it's a bit hard to see, but I witnessed this guy at the Whole Foods market on Fairfax in LA. It's got an S500 on the left, and an ///AMG on the right, about 2" above the level of the S500. Hilarity ensues.

I hate it when people stick AMG badges on their cars for no reason. Its like Honda owners slapping Vtech and Type R decals everywhere.

Oh... then I'm an idiot. I thought S classes were all 4-doors.

Nope, two door "S class" (top of the line Mercedes GT cars) cars have been around since before WW2.

The C140 is just one in a long line.
