Okay, just kidding. Just got home from our first road trip (hence the dirty car) and decided to bring this out for old times sake. Actually looks pretty good!

Seeing that pic was a joke was relief to me
Putting a 80's badge on 21th century S Class is as execrable as buying a 326938 ROLEX SKY DWELLER and swapping the bracelet for the jubilee band

Yeah, I saw some asshat the other day with a base 1000 bezel on a 145.022. Almost had to slap that guy.
