Was in Los Angeles today for work & saw a...

Couple funny things, 1st was this guy mid-30's early 40's in what had to be at least 03'-up S430 (black) it looked very nice and clean, still had the dealership paper plates, this is where it gets funny he had re-badged it to an S500, It was rediculous looking the S was in the right place but the 5 was about 3/4 of an inch to low and then the 00 part was another 1/2" down and kinda crooked I got to check it out real good, we were in heavy traffic side by side going down Wilshur blvd around 11:00am I just wonder sometimes then I saw a brand new Eclass maybe 500 he was over to my left in the fast lane jogging thru traffic on the 405? the only thing about his car was he had those add-on chrome tipps, I've never seen them installed on a car in person before they look ok from the back, but from the side it looks like their floating on the bumper I can't believe anyone would leave those ****y tips on after installing them and getting a look at them.
And the best for last was a brand new 03'-04'-up S600, still had the dealer plates on, and all the propper badging (black) w/chrome 20's at least "couldn't tell which kind of wheels" w/full Lorinser body kit & Exhaust, it was the older kit though, thank GOD!! the brand new lorinser kits look horrible!
It looked Fu*king AWESOME ....anybody here claim it? on the 405 South bound near the getty about 10:30am??anyhow the Forum has been pretty slow these days so I thought I'd share my day......
