Is this site dead?QUOTE]

No it's just boring as hell. Nobody tricks out their cars besides one or two members and that Stephan guy who post topics once every 6 months. All anyone does is put on an ugly grill guard on, and maybe some fog lights, and think their car is hot, but its not. When I tell people I have an Mclass they're like yeah so? Mclasses get no respect anymore, there’s too many owners that do nothing to them. And even the people who love upgrading their mclasses still have nothing special...

RE: Is this site dead?

I for one am sick of constantly reading boring posts by whining malcontents. My trim's peeling, my brakes squeak, a dog ate my owner's manual, my SA is mean to me.

Trolls sap the life out of all forums, and this is no exception.

Ya know, I almost take offense at what you said. Have you not heard the statement that, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

Who is to say that what I have done to my ML is not beautiful to me? I don't want all of the bling bling crap on mine. I like it clean, simple, and not outrageous. But then that is my opinion.

Andy I hear you bud-take rank rookies

Yeah some of the newbies would be better off logging on to lowrider.com with all the hype about chrome this and chrome that. I guess Rule A1 on benzworld was missed. Under 250 posts means you are a rookie and cant express disgust in the list or how its run. We have a lot of Senior Members that spend a lot of time, energy, and resources for the list. Lately the board has been vamped by former lurkers, that started crying in their beer about the list. This is still one of the best sites on the net-----------NUFF SAID[:)]

RE: Is this site dead?

Ok did I say my shit was hot?? No... that’s why I don't make post because my ml is boring like the rest of yours.

And at least I post pics of my boring ML dfskinner.

And as of right now whats hot on my mclass? Pretty much nothing besides the new AMG grill. But this summer once it gets nice out I'll get a new body kit, tint, new lights, a new head unit, a whole new system, and two 12's.

I do enjoy using this forum because most of the members are very smart and are great at helping out with problems, but everyone’s ml pretty much looks the same. Add a brush guard and lots of tiny pointless mods and think it looks good. Sure it might look ok, im just saying the forum is boring cause nobody ever post anything interesting because with exception to 3-4 members nobody has anything different then the average soccer mom ML. Most people on here have hundreds of little upgrades, but when it comes down to it if you show somebody a standard mclass with nothing done to it and yours, they wont be able to tell the difference.

I have just the site for you

www.mbusa.com

You will not find many trolls complaining about the ML on that site, they have stats about the ML, accessories, owners online, etc...
