You laugh but I really dig that Miami Vice Merc and have considered building one with an LS and wide body just like the AMG.

I like those old Mercs/AMG's on the show as well.

I laughed because the car reminded of the show...which could pretty funny at times; both intentionally and unintentionally.



'The Cows of October' ep is example #1 of the former.

*hypothetically speaking*

How would you feel if a person wrapped their Gt500 for Optima one year, and then never washed it so that it ended up with a real patina on the wrap?

Asking for a friend, of course...

That's perfectly fine because its real (albeit pathetic) patina

That Porsche has giant fake rust spots. Some of them on the urethane bumper for God's sake !

There's an 80s 512? that shows up to Caffeine and Octane here in Atlanta occasionally. Love that car. I'd rather drool on it and its V12 than the newer ones.
