Yes, I remember those folks LOL... Everyone kept complimenting me on my "swap" and asking me why I went with a 320 Benz motor in lieu of a Mopar block...
I think what threw them off was the "chevrons" on the airbox. At first glance, if you count the nose shroud, mine appears to have four chevrons per side, which is what yours has. On closer inspection they realize I only have six (total), but by then, the compliment has already been paid.
Regardless of the private lounge shenanigans, perhaps they would be p!ssed to know that some of the tightest friendships in the wrenching world span across their forums. Secret societies are normally the most fun when you can't access them, but aspire to. Once you're in, you simply realize that you're merely a class below the next level of snobs (i.e, the Lamborghini forum) that won't allow you inside.
Our forum welcomes everyone, and looks down on no one. That's why I have five years and thousands of posts invested here. I only visit the AMG/Mercedes forums when I need car parts.
