1. You don't impress the car fanatics because you are a poser and they know it isn't real
2. You don't impress the non-car fanatics because they don't know what it is anyway
I can see teenagers doing something like this on a Honda, but for someone that has an S-Class, it was pretty funny. I wanted to follow him and wait til he left and put a piece of paper over the Maybach badge that says "Chrysler".
Did this tool look Chinese? I can see some of them doing this kind of silly stuff... sorry, I do want to generalize but I drive the same Freeway daily and see a lot of similar tools with similar ideas
