South JawJa AMG

Check this out. Parked at a local bank today. The two large diameter exhaust pipes make me wish I had hung around and introduced myself and asked some questions. Older mechanic looking guy got out of it. I suspect it was an American V8 stuffed in there based on the pipes. If I see it around later I'll get more info. Note the pig on the hood.

w236 butchery for sure

For starters, no w126 was badged ///AMG. It should have said A M G to be period correct.

The chrome pig on the hood isn't even funny -- it is stupid.

So is the silly "old school" license plate. Spare me the pic's of the exhaust pipe. The pipes should not be larger than about 2/25" for these.


I have seen worse, though.

Probably now it is because ANYBODY with $500 or $1000 in their pocket can easily find one and desecrate it using their own lack of good taste.

I'd rock the RV -- diesel homebuilt micro-camper would be an awesome way to see the country. Who knows -- maybe a big rock fell on the rear roof and the car was intended for the scrap heap.

That's a funny looking car, Jim.

Wonder what was up with the pig hood ornament? Unless the guy was an SEC Arkansas Razorback fan, or owned a BBQ?

Probably just trolling the MB purists.
