BWAH! It’s the hood ornament that counts… I think I’ll get a coathanger and go turn MY car into a Mercedes…
Even more fail when the coat hanger hood ornament goes on an ACTUAL Mercedes, as in this picture.
only guy with a mercedes in the ghetto win
but sombody has 5 hood ornaments
You can see by the emblem below the hood ornament that it is, in fact, a real Mercedes. The FAIL is that instead of buying a replacement hood ornament, they instead made one of crapwire. You gotta take pride in your vehicle, especially a Mercedes or other luxury car; it’s better to leave it without a hood ornament than to put that crap on it.
That’s exactly what I meant - it’s not good enough that the car already IS a Mercedes, they have to have the hood ornament to PROVE that it’s a Mercedes - as if, without a hood ornament, it’s just any old random car. In actuality, by creating the twisty-tie ornament there, they kind of turned it INTO “any old random car.”
Doesn’t look like they’ve maintained the car very well overall, though, in any event.
It’s like when the Honda “H” was stolen off my Accord. How was anyone going to know it was a Honda? And that Hundai “H” just was not going to cut it.
Actually, it was Superintendent Chommers that had his “H” stolen. But the fact that you remembered this piece of Simpsons trivia is still quite hilarious.
Chalmers. And they got caught trying to steal the “H” from Nelson’s Hyundai.
The fact that I remember that scares the crap out of me.
Fat Tony had the cream o’ the crop!
How many people in this short string are grown ups with real jobs who know too much about a cartoon?
Too many. And they tried to take the “H” from Kearney’s Hyundai.
Hehe, wow. You’d think that you guys live in Springfield and see the Simpson family causing chaos in your area every day…
I shot Burns!!!!!!!
Its not quite a Mercedes Benz..
… I’d call it more a Mercedes Bendz
WHAT A PUN!
LOL THAT MADE MY PENIS GIGGLE
Creativity win?
Looks like my car…
lol mercedes rules
She’s the best dancer at the club!
We actually have a Mercedes at the club where I work, lol. She was the source of a good laugh between the DJ and I today, mostly because she caused him to commit a DJ Fail.
Ok, I’ll bite. What’s a DJ fail?
Apparently, any class that involves playing an instrument.
The sad part is I know people that wouldn’t hesitate to do that….Hilarious!!!!
I’m gonna make a Jaguar out of Play-doh….
looking at that tram back there… is this Warsaw?
LoL
The car is right-hand drive (look at the windshield wiper). This was not Poland, but rather some place where they have right-hand drive cars, the UK or a former colony. This was probably some soccer holligan who got kicked in the head too many times.
No. This is an W124, left-hand drive. These have only ONE windshield wiper, located on the LEFT.
D’oh!!
The other car in the picture is driving on the left (as is the bus). Chances are this is in bongo-bongo land somewhere.
can you really see that it is a right-hand car? :O Me not
I thought I did, because if you look at the windshield wiper, it has to sweep right to left, from the driver’s perspective. Normally that is only on right hand drive cars. However, it was pointed out that this car only has one wiper, which I have to believe, so it could sweep either way, I guess. Hence the “d’oh”.
i wonder what the antennae looks like…. lol
cleaning also fail
Stylin’!
if you can afford a mercedes…you can afford a replacement hood oriement. [this coming from a previous owner of a classic benz--]. Although I have almost had my oriement snatched off!
Wait - you might be on to something! Maybe someone stole the original hood ornament (note spelling please) and replaced it with this clever facsimile so that the owner wouldn’t notice the original was missing until the thief had long since made his getaway! Brilliant!
I have to say I am starting to suspect that the creator and attacher of the kindergarten ornament is NOT the owner of the car… perhaps a prank/joke by friends to tweak a buddy who hasn’t gotten around to getting a replacement ornament yet?
As a side note, I know several people who drive 10+ year old Mercedes, BMWs, Volvos, etc. The cars are built to last so it’s not unreasonable that they might outlast the owners’ financial prosperity - a person who can afford a NEW Mercedes can certainly afford a replacement ornament, but it’s entirely possible that one’s fortunes might change over the span of a few years.
Well said ol’ chap
I beg your pardon, I am an ol’ girl, not an ol’ chap!
Well said ol’ girl!
My grandfather had his ornament stolen at least 5 times (some people take them to wear on their necklaces). Long story short, he got sick of going to the shop and having repairs done to have a new one attached, they sealed it with a bolt. That was the end of that. I almost prefer this “fail wire” version over an original that gets ripped off because someone thinks its “cool” *sigh*

Personally I’ve been trying to find a decent Mercedes to jack the hood ornament off of for necklace action lately but none have surfaced in my neighborhood. Everybody rides freakin Vespas in this end of Denver. Gotta find me one though! Mebbe I can find a nice little Buick piece, it’s a little daintier and girlier for jewelery purposes.
Here is what Jay just say:
“I’m rich and you’re not.”
Perhaps he never considered that this was bought used, or that the owner fell on hard times after getting a Countrywide mortgage, or perhaps that he’s a douche.
There’s been a terrible oversight… somehow we’ve gotten past ten comments and not only has no one yelled some variant of “first” yet, but no one has condescendingly informed us all that the image is clearly photoshopped!
Come on, photoshop paranoiacs, you’re dropping the ball…
(apologies if this double-posts)
first!!
First photoshopped!
Hmm…. I posted a sarcastic remark that no one had screamed “Photoshop!” yet, and it hasn’t shown up. On the one hand, maybe I posted too quickly after my other post, but on the other hand, is it possible that all photoshop references are going to a moderation queue? Because that would rock.
Let’s see what happens to this one…
Rats. It must’ve been just a timing issue. I was SO hoping that “photoshop” was on a comment blacklist…
So, photoshop paranoiacs, where are y’all? There are wild allegations to be made!
Come on!!!!Are you you kidding me?????? This is a textbook example of photoshop at its best….You can clearly see that the periphial diameters of the quantum pixelators are distorted by the horizontal bopules and the geographic dimensions of the flurbs are offset to the seventh power…..only a real “shop”
n00b would have set the “chum” setting to 8 1/2…good lord!!!! I oughta know I’ve been detecting “shopped” photos for at least 120 years (professionally)…..
Hee…heee…heee…heee.
Busted!!
There is no such thing as a real-fake Mercedes ornament.
“Horizontal bopules” = possibly greatest band name ever. The Flurbs can be their opening act.
The Flurbs broke up in 92′….Something about the lead singer always
wearing a Mercedes hood ornament around his neck…..Just didn’t work
for a punk band.
Communism works, absolutely!

Was this taken in a warzone? I’m calling a background fail here. Not only is the tram super-ghetto, what is with all the trash???
background isn’t bad at all, look at the other car
more like creativity win
Nah, then he could have made it more round. And better in general, instead of leaving it to look like crap.
It looking like crap just makes the win complete for me… Really, I find this very awesome!
HAHAHA THIS IS AMAZING!
you know, that’s so ASIAN! like hell, it’s something I’d do… simply cause I’m asian!
haha! j/k! but still, this is ABSOLUTELY WIN! (ironically through a fail though…)
RACIST FAIL!
also backpedalling fail too.
maybe it was the thief that left the “decoy” benz ornament in place of the stolen one, hoping the owner wouldn’t notice? *fake ornament passed hand to hand, thief nabs the real one, jams fake ornament in the socket… booby trap is triggered anyway, thief runs from giant boulder*
autofill! eek!
Hey folks,
you all seem to not understand the point.
Yes, the original was probably stolen, it was a fashion (in Berlin for example) some 10 years ago, younf people would walk with the star hanging on a chain around their neck, some kind of trophee, some kind of capitalist war. But this is not the actual point.
The owner is probably also one of those young, creative and alternative people of such scene (and yes, they do drive Mercedes- on the “why” in another blog, maybe), showing that he gives a damn about original gadgets, and he makes fun of the situation. I very much feel like him, I would do the same. It has irony, guts, it is freaky, funny, creative, satirical.
The fail is not to him but to those of you who wrote that one should not do that- put a fake on a real mercedes…
Greetings from Berlin
Yep, @cosmopolit, at last!
>> It has irony, guts, it is freaky, funny, creative, satirical.<<
It says: “Here’s to you, asshole!
sers from Munich
Overanalyzing fail
how do you know its right hand drive? you FAIL
and anyone who doesn’t think that a wire merc ornament is RAD is a FAIL!
spent a little too much on the mercedes and couldn’t afford an ornament?
