My bosses in Oz were BMW fanboys. They would love to point out the Beemers with M3 badges that only had one exhaust, ie. clearly not an M3.
Same shit as people buying knockoff Rolex watches and shit to impress peeps (or for that matter, real Rolex watches to impress people). If you're that insecure you'd be better off spending your money on some therapy or just a week in the hills to see that all you need is a bit of food, water and shelter and everything else is basically pointless.

When I was young my uncle lived in a smart bit of the Newbury burbs. One of their neighbours used to get a new number plate every year to make it seem like they had a new car.
It absolutely baffled me as a kid because it clearly wasn't the current years model. I was very in to cars, but still it seemed like such an obvious fail. Likewise, surely everyone knows Mercs deprecate like stones and old ones cost fuck all?
EDIT: fuck me. I knew old mercs weren't worth much, but I didn't realise how little. I know running, etc. But wow.
