Besides, one could argue that your signature says, "Look at me." I simply take it as pride.
Sorry DSB, i'm not talking about you,

I'm talking about those people that went to get a badge made to copy the 63 badge.

The 63 has a separate badge because it's the first complete AMG engine for a production car, whereas as the 32s and 55s are based on stock blocks.

ADDING badges to a car is all about looks, not about actions, and i think that satisfies both our definitions of 'vain'?

This is much like those people who add a AMG badge to the back and have AMG wheel and bodykit only on their car. They also argue they have 'AMG parts on their car' but we feel the AMG badge should signify either complete cars or at least engines.
