A Good Day

After 3+hours of detailing Saturday, today it paid off. I was fortunate enough to take 1st place in my class, Misc Sports Car, at a local show with over 220 cars registered of differing vintages and makes.

Yep, it was a good day...

Um...why's the 560SL emblem on the right, BMW-style? Originally its on the left side. Intentional?

The urban legend as told to me was that when a MB dealership or authorized body shop repaints, they move the emblem to the right side. Mine is the second I have seen that way. The first car I saw was repainted by a MB dealer's bodyshop in Atlanta, as I recall. I do not know who or where the respray was done on my car...

It is quite possible the body shop just messed up in its replacement (more probable reason)...

I have thought about moving it, but don't want to tempt fate...
