Badgewhore

Oh, look, a Mercedes Badgewhore is upset about being called out for being a badgewhore. I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked!

I have a C124 (coupe) I'm fixing to buy a 560 V8 swapped S124 (wagon) soon and add to my harem. Next will be focus on moving out lol priorities. My parents can only be so tolerant and I feel super bad to be taking up so much space, especially since my dad gave me the only usable garage spot currently. Really blessed I'm on good terms with them and dad helps me support my car hobby and mom generally doesn't ask too many questions.

After that, it's saving time and I'm trying to get my ass into a proper house. I can only do this for so long.

pic related tho

I drive a Volvo actually.

But I also don't understand why it's bad that cars that cater to a market of people who want to show the world their success is bad?

Also MB makes some pretty nice cars.
I'm a big fan of the SL.

I have a feeling that you don't have a very good job. Would you say that's a reasonable estimation?

Yeah like the C Class.

I see like 100 c300 4 matics a day

>But I also don't understand why it's bad that cars that cater to a market of people who want to show the world their success is bad?
Please indicate on the doll where I stated anything like this.

Maybe I read into "Badgewhore: The Brand" a little too much?

What did you mean by that excactly?

It sounded to me like what your saying is "Mercedes is shit because people who are successful like the idea that their car is a symbol of success"
And in my estimation that is the sentiment of either a child who doesn't even work, or someone who blames the world for their lack of success.

I've been wrong before though. Please show me the error of my ways.

Does your symbol of your success light up at night just to be clear to everyone around you that you're a symbol of success?

This. MB owners don't typically dress themselves and decorate their living and work spaces with the brand.

This is true. But mercedes is also the best luxury brand. It's the oldest and has the most pedigree.

Mercedes makes quality vehicles
Thats why wealthy and sophisticated people always buy them

A badgewhore brand would be Chevrolet
Hurpa durp muh chebby truck Dat maw granpappy drive is da reason I only drive chebby nowadays

>cla/gla owners
>successful
pick one

...

I see that you are now shifting your goalpost from "all benz drivers" to benz drivers who picked that silly option.

Yeah the option is a little guady, but I've seen a Lexus with it, cars that shine their emblems out of the mirror at night, "Porsche" written down the side of them and all sorts of tacky things people like.

To say that all Mercedes are bad or that all Mercedes drivers are obsessed with the badge only because some people want their badge to light up is a little much.

I think you know you are being a bit of a heel but I'm all ears if you want to move the goalpost elsewhere.

>the gear shift is on a little stick behind the wheel
>user thinks this is neat

That's a 33,000 car base.

You definitely need a decent job to be able to afford a 650 paymant. I guess you could always also buy one when you can just barely afford it but that is probably a minority of owners.

>I've seen a Lexus with it
>"Porsche" written down the side of them
lol. You're not helping your case, user.

>user needs a penis sticking up out of the middle of the car to feel like a man
Ok.

Are you being intentionally daft?

I outright said that people put tacky options on cars sometimes. But they put tacky options on all types of cars.

Point being just because some people like tacky options doesn't say anything about a brand as a whole.

Also compared to "Porsche" written down the side of your car, or a plexiglass supercharger cover, a light up badge isn't too bad.

What about a bus with Porsche written down the side?

>user doesn't like to excite his penis so he drives a mercedes benz
Good one.

I think that's for advertising.

Looks nice on a bus, but then again it's not like you would park a bus where coworkers could see it lol

>user can't get wimmins in his hyundai accent and is mad

Are you being intentionally daft? Listen, Mercedes salesman, I understand you're trying to justify this ridiculousness and defend the "brand image" on a Cambodian Couch Trading Platform. Trust me, I "get it." You're a badgewhore. It's cool, man. I never said it was bad. It's good to see you own you're a badgewhore. In a way, it's admirable.

This is the weakest copypasta I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

>user has gone impotent and not even viagra or his mercedes benz can help him and women are the least of his problems so he defends his impotent choice of vehicle on the internet

>resorting to pasta

Well shows over lads

>badgewhore: the brand
that would be ferrari.
mercedes actually make practical vehicles

lol
>I'm a shameless badgewhore so I'll call his response copypasta and "win" the argument

see

Oh that wasn't pasta?

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

lol. The MBIDF sure is angry.

Why so mad?

Neither.

It's just pathetic.

As is

Yeah you showed me alright.

I sure am angry and I'm definitely being paid by MB to convince people like you who haven't graduated college and have no job that they need to buy a luxury car.

You win big man. Chalk up a nice little "told you so" tally...

>I sure am angry and I'm definitely being paid by MB to convince people like you who haven't graduated college and have no job that they need to buy a luxury car.
lol. There's that classic MB classism.
haha. What a fucking faggot.

Lies, I have never felt safer at 140mph.

And just as I suspected it was all sour grapes...

Don't worry user, you showed me up!
What an underdog opening the eyes of the people you are.

>he literally can't handle being called a badgewhore and must endlessly defend his badge because it's posted on the internet

I have a 2002 E320 I bought for $1100 with 190K miles. Good car! Light-up badges are obviously tacky, but the car is fundamentally sound.

Remember to continue to direct your angst for me toward MB drivers.

Even though I was pretty clear about owning a Volvo and have never had a MB.

Wouldn't want anyone with a different opinion to seem as though they might be rationally thinking after all!

>he literally can't stop

Well the old nervously meme while back peddling farther away from your actual point to obscure the fact that your a tool routine never really ends so I'll leave it here.

Enjoy that next response you get to leave for me :^)

Some of us have to wake up for work though...

>jesus...he's sick

this is bmw owners for me. the manlets slap their Ms everywhere

lucky quads

>Be living in shithole Houston
>Nothing but base model as fuck CLA, C classes, and GLK mercs everywhere.
>Walmart/Autozone LED foglight stripes making me confuse a honda with a mercedes.

You can tell someone is a badge whore by looking at those shitty halogen headlights

...

>old mercs used to have the 3 pointed star on the hood on every model
>newer ones its an extra except on S class

You are the guy with the Silver wagon with tinted windows?
Pretty much my E class twin?

fuck off, my 323 is pure.

*blocks your path*

call it what ya will but all you'll see is the tail lights anyway

Yeah sure

>Literally, Poorfag: The Post

>mallcrawlers for soccermoms

>all you'll see is the tail lights anyway
Yep, they're the ones blinking in the emergency lane right?

Oh I get it, a classic "all xyz are unreliable joke"

Good one.

MB dealers do have a lot of weird shit like perfumes and handbags with their brand stamped on it, and unlike Ferrari where you're supposed to already be covered in the brand to show what a classy guy you are, they are way too friendly and want to get you into the brand.

I got a wine stopper with a gearshift knob handle a few months after i bought mine... gave it to someone else because it felt weird and tacky. I bought a cheap former loaner car and didn't even let their Finance Jews stick it into me by leasing or financing it. Kinda weird.

because they always broke off or were stolen

S class is for super rich people who can pay some goon to stand by the car all the time and stop people from yanking the hood ornament

Kek

No it's more of a "GS400 guy crashes his cars because he can't drive" joke

At least it was for me

We need to bring hood ornaments back.

You're not wrong, but most of the ones who are buying for the badge buy utter shitboxes.

This board is mostly populated by people driving shitboxes that can't even reach 140

I agree

thats a c-class

I'm glad that stealing Honda badges and radios are a thing of the past in most of the civilized world. Kind of miss the 90's video quality and rampant drug usage that came along with that era, though. And of course the music.

I get one just for impaling things
and a pentastar hood ornament to line it up

...

I've been daily driving a 90s s500 for 3 years now and hate that pos car. Only buying Japanese or American from now on
