The Godfather's rides: From 2002 to today - The Epicness.

Alright, history lesson for some of you guys on The Godfatherness of modding. My first ride was a 1990 Dodge Caravan LE, followed by a 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan LE and a 1998 Mazda 626LX. After these bull****s, my eyed opened and the following is history:

(DISCLAIMER: Some parts on the earlier vehicles were replicas, ie Brabus **** lol)


My first Benz 1994 E320:














Then it was sold and this came up:

1999 E320:

PHASE 1: BRABUS








PHASE 2: WALD

Car got totalled in a nasty big rig sideswipe on I5 on the way back from Sacramento and I picked up a replacement. The car now belongs to JRE55.

Following the E55, I turned coat, and went Audi. Greatest mistake of my life was to sell it.

2005 Audi S4 Avant






Then like a dumb ***, I traded it in for this POS:

2006 Lexus GS300



I then added this:

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser



And a 2007 Yamaha Raptor 700R to tow around

Eventually I traded the Lexus for this and sold the FJ and ATV later:

2003 E55 AMG

(WORK VS-XX 19's)


















Then the Monarch phase:

something that can use more power
Yeah, I like those Work rims much better.
The Monarchs are hot, but not like the Works.

You posted them up so I'll give you my $0.02.

I like your current ride, with current setup the best out of the bunch. I think it looks better without the lip on the trunk and with the stock grill. I would actually remove the stickers and maybe put the original star on rather than the flat hood badge (not sure on that though). The current rims are better than the works IMO.

Nice ride.

very cool. i remember half of those rides (the FJ and the different stages of the W211 E55 for sure).

I love the rear decklid carbon fiber on a silver car. I got it and love it. Shouldnt have sold it!
