Just as i suspected...

The title scared me, and i had reason to be scared... the car is sick, and not in a good way, it's just absolutely disgusting - it's a Mercedes, not a honda civic or a toyota corolla, why someone would do that, and pay money to do that is beyond me

The way people are ghetto'ing these cars is becoming insane, 90% of all pictures on here look like the cars belong to drug dealers and are all set to get repo'ed and this is just another prime example of that

Where has the class and understated beauty of mercedes gone in the hands of people who modify these cars, where has the class gone, becuase CLEARLY this car is in the hands of someone who has NO class and NO taste

And to whomever actually thinks this looks good... clearly has no taste...

It's a travesty and terrible looking car, id seriously be embarresed to drive that car.. awful

I have never been so moved to write is such disgust over seeing a car, the feeling of sick over looking at this abomonation brought me to it

Pet peeve, sorry.
Forgedwheeler,

Yes we are aware of the technical definition. It just so happened to be the term people started using so we go with what people are familiar with.

Thanks for looking out though.

The wheels are truly lovely. Nice job.
I just hate hearing threaded fasteners referred to as "rivets".
My reaction is like the famous Three Stooges routine where Moe hears someone say, "Niagara Falls".

Slowly I turned, step by step.........
