2004 Hummer H2 - Keepin it stock...2006 Range Rover Supercharged ''Sleeper''
I've seen this car parked outside of my Dad's office. I walked around it a few times and read the 6.1 badge and was like "wtf??" Because I saw no exhaust or anything..then the guy came out and I asked him if it was really a 6.1 and he goes.."well what does it say on the back?????" I just wanted to pull my Dad's car around and race him to shut him up.

SL500 2001 Formula 1 Edition;
Note: It's a salvage title. Is it worth $20,000?

He'd probably be better off parting it out...

You should have asked him to pop the hood.

I thought of that as soon as it pulled away and heard it as quiet as any other SL500.

From what I see the car has had front end damage...
The gap hood/headlights ,hood/bumper doesn't seem right maybe the hood is open
Left side bumper/fender gap ? ,right bumper/headlight gap?
I don't want to sound negative,I am dealing with salvage cars too...
It hurts me looking at the model car I love the most,that is so poorly repaired

I'm still having trouble understanding why he would paint it yellow? If I saw a guy with a stock (or nicely upgraded) R129 500, I would readily compliment it. But this...

Yep. Er, I don't like it either. Actually it looks vile.... I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend 20k on this, unless they need a **** load of spare parts.
