It identifies as a race car....do not be so full of hate. You dont like it because it is black...I actually did not notice the black until I saw this photo....more and more I have the mental acuity of Joe Biden.

Wait, hold on... Slow down! Of which part of my post shows signs of hate? I did not say I hate it... Don't get me wrong.

LOL. I think the "R" is pretentious. It has noting to do with a preferred pronoun. However, reality is that identifying as something (e.g., race car, not racist car) does not make it so.

The Hodges Brothers are on my to-watch list.

I'd put "E 180" badging on it... then they won't know what they're dealing with until they lose the race

I think it was hard to capture the sarcasm/facetious (ness?) of the post.

I personally don't like it when others badge their car for something it isn't. So I'd say, no R.

(Interestingly, the previous owner to my current car also put on an R badge after the 65 number. WTH? After peeling it off fairly easily, I think it was a chrome R from the Golf R)

Are there any logos for Mercedes, that identify as interstellar or inter dimensional?

And with that badge, you can be just as cringy.

Having a sense of humour always beats self-importance douchebaggery. Touche.
