A poser

Anybody know this Poser?

Was driving 105 West bound at 8:30 p.m. See a Silver W203 driving like a douche. Tailgating, bad passing etc.

I noticed he had an AMG emblem but only a single exhaust on the drivers side. Then I see it says C55. So now I'm thinking the guy is a moron. Sure enough as traffic breaks he gets on it only to mildly pull away.

No I didn't hammer after him. Not worth my gas.

Idiotic tailgating and mislabeling is how you get a bad name RJ MBNZ.

Speaking of seeing someone on the freeway was anyone with a black C32 on the 101 going to 134? I tried to come next to the car and the c32 took off. It had tints but not to dark (if I recall correctly).

This was maybe 2 weeks ago or even 3. I'm thinking this driver thought I was trying to race him but hell no, not against a c32 lol

Waz up Rollnnn, man I don't know how you drive on those ****ty Sunset streets, I can't take it anymore with huge plates everywhere on the road.

Today I had another encounter. I'm going down Beverly Glen and I see this Dark Blue w203 in the middle lane (I guess you can call it emergency lane?) flying by like 60 or 70. I go about 2 more blocks and I see him. It had dual exhausts but didn't have badges. It had a sticker all on the back window abotu "Silky smooth detail ........" stuff Like that. I wanted to run it. I was behind and was behind it tailgating. He then took his left lane and we came almost side by side. Then I gave him a thubs up and we went on our way. Is this guy a member on this forum? He had a nice w203.
If you guys know him tell him JK062602kj (Karo) said waz up.

Sunset sucks right now, they got this whole Hollywood street improvement thing going on. I try to stay off it, i use fountain and Santa Monica Blvd when i can.. Parts of Sunset are already done though like the strip between La Brea and Highland its nice and smooth over there... just gotta finish the rest of it now...

Some 19 year old is rolling around my town with a C230 with an AMG badge on it. I asked my SA if she knew who it was and she said he's the biggest tool she's ever met and hopes he wrecks the MB and gets a Honda so she won't have to deal with him anymore.

haha that dump truck reminds me of my trip to Brazil a couple of years ago. There were alot of freight/commercial trucks there on the highways. Many of them had the MB star on the front. But upon paying more attention, I noticed a lot of them upside down or tied on with twine to the grill like they stole it but were too lazy to affix it correctly. Wish I had some pix
