Yours is more likely. I have a weird thing where I try to make sayings out of people’s license plate letters.

Spotted on campus (650S coupe?). Definitely not staff or faculty. My guess is a student from one of the Gulf-states.

It’s an MP4-12C, I just checked prices and it’s surprisingly close to a 650s, but I thought the MP4-12C would be a good bit less.
im not sure if that’s the exact orange but I believe they had a first edition orange when the 12C was first introduced.

I would have thought the 12C would be a ton cheaper given it's questionable reliability ratings.

yeah, agreed! I mean I did all of 5 seconds of research, I just hit up autotrader, 12C was 120-130, 650s showed roughly 140…
the 650 is where I thought it would be, the 12C is 20-30 higher than I expected.

and this the other day - a neighborhood dweller which I have shared in here before -

Nice on the z06, I heard one get on it merging on the highway, pretty nice!
I also saw a C7 ZR1 today, I have s pic, but it’s garbage, glare and windshield reflection galore…

Not necessarily "desirable" but every time I see one of these Isuzu VehiCROSS, it always gets my attention. In my honest opinion, it was the first crossover


And I always think of this guy immediately afterwards 😂

And had some questionable badges on the front fenders

They weren't, just S550 and S600. They also didn't have the Maybach emblem in place of the MB badge on the trunk. The bumper and wheels don't look Maybach either.

A decently done clone, but definitely didn't look quite right.

agreed, the black moustache look at the base of the bumper around the exhaust doesn’t look right either.
while He was on a roll slapping badges some AMG and Brabus should have been added, those definitely add 50k-100k in value. (Sarcasm)

No way that's real. Especially the gaudy fake stuck on chrome bits on the back (especially the rings around the tail lights) are screaming fake. The Maybach badges went on the C pillar with the text on the back. The car itself wears the MB star.

Always blows my mind the lengths that people will go to look rich to others.

Honestly that person could have left the car alone and still looked rich lol.
