Thumbs down Someone's ego trip?

If this is some kind of a joke I don't get the punch line.

A very unseemly hack job on what was a good car to begin with.

It should be more properly titled "AMG Tribute" car, as it reflects only the owner's ego and his personal thoughts about the original car.

It is a lot like the dozens of Elvis impersonators found all over Las Vegas, and especially at the Wedding chapels around there.

Or the awful, 3rd rate "Tribute" bands so often hired by the casinos there to play.




"Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work.
It's like making a hard core adult film and then editing it so it can be shown in British hotels. You'd just end up with a half hour close-up of some bloke's sweaty face."

~~Jeremy Clarkson
