How does one do this?

Driving around Orange County/Los Angeles and I come across cars like this all the time and I ask myself, why? Must add resale value.




CLS 300?


E55 AMG?

CLS 300 ? Adding two more letters won't help boost up the price of the car by two more digits ,funny
E55 AMG ? Hmmm, this guy must be a wanna to it
I must say had I owned an S560 I would replace the 6 with the 0 because I like S500 more than 560 , the former is more characteristic while the latter is the reminiscent of rancid 80's

It's surprising to know that a lot of people actually do it. Yeah, maybe to add value.

We live in a society that values image over substance.
Here is my SL450......
Can I have my man card renewed now?


450 to 550
