I can only hope the guy with the 1st gen had his engine die and he did a LS430 swap. Even if I did a LS430 engine swap I still wouldn't slap the badge on my car..

I wonder if Dubai is grand as it looks or if it's just a big front. I know less than like 13% of people who live there are actual citizens of UAE.

Well i doubt he bored out the engine to a 4.3 liter never mind did the swap.
By the antenna not being perfectly centered on the roof (I.E. stick on) is the biggest indicator.
He does probably come on the boards as he has JDM window visors.

Look closely at the top of the window edge for the doors and you can see the visors.

Thats nothing. In Manhattan, a few weeks ago. I saw a 1990 LS 400, with the ground kit, looking like the typical bat mobile, with MB V12 badges on the side.
Poor bastard thought he was in a S600 Benz lol.
