Bling Bling, look at me! I'm driving a 20+ yo car! I'm so tired of this crap. Aftermarket this; aftermarket that. Isn't there a point when one steps back from their car, and thinks, "Gee, maybe this doesn't look as good as I think/thought it does/did."

He says he will take offers. Maybe we all should make a concerted effort to make "offers".

I'm starting to see more of those lights show up on W124's. I have no idea what the attraction is. Yesterday, a guy in a white W124 drove past me on I635, the car for the most part was quite clean, but he had these headlights, black tail lights and a big bore muffler and aftermarket wheels.

While I'm not against the modded look, I would have put a set of euro lights on instead as these lights look like they belong in a comic book.

Same here. I see the same E320 coupe on a regular basis and those lights completely ruin the car.

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

They are supposed to look like W211 headlights up close I think. An old lady drives a 300D 2.5 around here that has them, they look like crap. Some kid also has 94+ aftermarket headlights on a pre93 260E, the gap is pretty funny.

Personally I hate the giant MB-logo grilles. Not only is it really gaudy, but just ruins the lines of the thing. I love looking at MBs and seeing the washboard grille dating back to who knows when. The only monster-logo grilles were the SLs.

That car is worth about $2k in normal, good condition. So if it needs $3K of work, it's a parts car.

Lemme see...ugly, expensive paint job - check. Ugly lights - check. Ugly, expensive wheels - check. Functioning windows - 1 out of 4. I'm not so sure about this guys maintenance priorities.

There's a tacky-fied 124 in north Dallas too. It's a two tone blue '93 - factory paint, AFAIK, but with really big, ugly wheels. So yeah, the 124 does seem to be attracting that type of owner. I wonder why - aren't these lousy cars on which to fit big wheels?

I'd give him $5.00 just to take that ad offline!
