Slk63

Today after dropping of my car off for service I see another fake.
Parked in the middle of the car lot is and slk. On the back he has an SLK 63 AMG badge. Then to make it even worse, he puts a V12 badge (from the new S600) on the sides.... Next time I see the car, be sure that some pics will be posted (i didn't have a camera with me) By the way this is in the New Orleans dealership.

Then when turning the corner I see an SL with the 600 badge and what seems to say V8 ----- (I couldn't see it too good). Tomorrow I will check.

P.S. Does any of these car belong to someone on this forum?

that is one that bothers me when pple add badges to there car and try to badge-tune there cars. like now i see alot of the new S550's and they take 0 off so its S55 and they add a AMG badge to the car.....also BigMac843 u think that was bad, yesterday I was at the mall and i was walking across the parking lot and some kid pulled in with a green like 2002 Corolla and all the badges were shaved off but the kid put the big Audi rings across the front grille and had Audi on the back.
