Wink Got my S65 Vanity Plates.....Pic inside

I had several different plates in mind.....some were pretty antagonistic....U-LOSE, N-FRNT, MOREHP, U2 SLOW, WHYTRY etc... I didn't want to be perceived as a complete a-hole by the general driving population (I seem to be halfway there driving a MB as it is based on other drivers actions towards me), and I didn't want one that would provoke John Law too much either. So I settled for this one....Kleemann ECU upgrade on the way to help justify it..

Nice plate..................it looks very similar to my old plate on my Crossfire. I one-uped you though by putting a "HYBRID" emblem where it used to say "SRT-6" though. LOL

There will always be someone that's faster. Just enjoy beating up on 85% of the cars you run into on the road in the uber sedan(especially when tuned).

I'd say an s65 is one of the furthest things from sleeper that I can imagine. Nice plate anyway though.

Really? A lot of people have no idea what or how fast a S65 is.

With that said, if you self-proclaim "slepur" on your car, then it's no longer a real sleeper.

Guess I have to agree.

But, I do agree that 90% of people on the road today don't know what the 65 is, or is capeable of......that was me 6 months ago driving my blown C6 thinking that MB's were nice cars, but not fast, until my brother showed me the light with his S600......

I'm not very familiar with MB, but I know when I see an AMG badge that it would royally kick my ***. I don't really think anything with a 5+ liter engine can be considered a sleeper. Especially not a twin turbo v12. I'm more into VW's and usually I hear "sleeper" is when somebody is referring to a 300+ hp Passat or Jetta. Maybe we just have a different definition of the word.

Sleeper simply means a car that goes much faster than it looks, or likewise, a car that doesn't look fast.

A lot of people have no idea whats actually under the hood of an S65, so I would say its a sleeper. Its how it looks, not just how it goes.

I don't know guys... the AMG S-Class is pretty aggressive looking...

You just gotta hit it from the right angle!
