There's something wrong with this Mercedes.
I just can't seem to put my finger on it.

Saw something that just wowed me the other day, couldnt take a photo so i think ill just explain it.

Dunno what is like in the US, but here in the AUS, our ricer community has taken a fond liking towards these tow stickers



All those 2fast2furious honda civics rocking the beaks bar and some rims have all decided they have track cars which requires them to alert the track support of how to dig their bucket of bolt out of the sand stops.

Anyways a sticker.. big woop.

This was until i saw a Toyota 86 with a GT wing, Carbon Hood, Full Body kit, didnt look too bad.

Obviously he needed to make sure everyone knew what brands of part he purchased, and his car has turned to a rolling advertisement board, that is fully 'ILLICIT' and 'JDM' just incase you didnt catch the drift.

On the back i saw the common Tow Arrow again... but the location of the arrow had me take a double look, it was right above his left exhaust tip.

Upon closer inspection... it did not even say tow, it had japanese kanji, and since i can read a bit... it read in japanese 'exhaust'

Thats right, we now have here in Australia, people pointing out to the marshals, officials and track support teams where their exhaust tip is, just incase they cant see the damn round thing

Since Australia's first language is not japanese... id love to see the day where he actually needs a road side tow, and the non japanese speaking tow truck driver, follows that arrow thinking it means tow, and kindly remove the exhaust from the car.

It's a stretch, cause that looks like a really busy highway. But maybe it's roadkill, and they just really love venison?

... Is that an R3? for shame....
