I'm rocking the rental minivan while the sparkplugs are getting changed (all 16!!!) in the E55, and I see this guy:

.
I snap a few, laugh a bit, and exit the highway. Glancing to the right, I notice the latest laughingstock pull up beside me, golf hat on, sleeve rolled up, chillin.
Should I?
I couldn't resist. "Wow ! is that an E55?" The cast has been made.
"You bet. I've had it about a year." He bit. Now to set the hook.
"Well, how come you only have a single exhaust?"
-pause-
"What do you mean?" he inquires, mouth slightly agape. I can't believe he's actually asking for more.![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
"I'm talking about the little droopy pipes on the left side of your car. You're driving a six-cylinder. Next time you might want to get the badges on the correct sides of the car too."
"Fuck you. How would you know?"
"Because I drive one, you FAKER !"![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
He rewarded my astute eye with the most noble of single-digit salutes, an attempt at a peel-out, and a sheepish look. Catch-and-release. What a sport.

I know of plenty of real 55's with removed badging and even E320 badges. Never assume anything.
Not everyone can afford what you can. Doesn't make them any less of a person.
A little modesty never hurt no one.
