Heh. I was at the dealer a few months ago and as I walked to my car, I noticed a brand new S500 parked next to it. The sales dude was bent over, busy at work at the rear of the car, under the watchful eye of the new owner, a massively silicon-endowed latina with cleavage that I swear went on forever. When I could tear my eyes away long enough to see what the sales dude was doing, I saw that he had replaced the OEM decklid identification to S55 (left) AMG (right). I chuckled when she pulled up behind me when leaving the dealer, although I doubt she had an appreciation for a "real" vs. "fake" AMG 55. I used to take offense at personal conceits like this - now I just find them amusing. However, if a poser wants to play with me, I'd be happy to blow them in a ditch... :v

When you see S430s with an AMG badge on them, wouldn't you laugh like I would?

Actually, I've been thinking of rebadging my debadged E55 wagon with something like this...

Thumbs down

I think downgrading is ok, more on the humble/sleeper side rather than posing.
Like mentioned before about the bicep implant: all show and nothing to back it up with :p

Imagine that poser getting his *** kicked by a real E55

Imagine the dealer not being able to find your car when you write down E320 when they're looking for that E55 badge

There's so many thing wrong with this car:

It's kind of like seeing someone with a lame haircut or with their fly down. I'm embarrased for them, but in the end Darwin takes care of us all.

It's more like these people from an episode of the Maury Povich show that I saw: the men were all women before they had the sex change operation. they all looked exactly like a man but none of them had the male sexual organ. Kinda like cars that look like AMG cars but don't have the AMG engines.
