Poser, NYC Plates JERICH1 in Princeton area this morning.

This dude made me absolutely furious, leaned back in his chair with his greased up hair. It was an obvious CLS550, right down to the single exhausts, ride height and wheels, but the back of course was adorned with CLS63, crooked and poorly placed along with ///AMG badges. Please feel free to spit on this man if you see him. Sorry I didn't get pics.

That's not half as bad as seeing an E320 W210 body style with the V8 Kompressor signs at the side...I almost jumped out of my car and puked.

You know how some message boards have a "sightings" forum section or a sticky? MBworld should definitely have a "poser sightings" section.

20+ to list......
Don't sweat it guys, I saw an E350 with E55, AMG, & V8Kompressor badges, an Asian punk kid was driving it. Here's the funny part, if he didn't show his "WAHT?" nasty face, I would have just passed by, but even in my service loaner which was an R350, I had to give him the thumbs down, right @ his face, my wife was laughing since she was right there saw the whole thing. I just love to lay it down when I see posers think they are cool rolling in fakes.

Posers are everywhere.... I think is more respected to remove all badges and have the "clean look" than placing a fake badge...

By the way, there are tons of fake range rover supercharged in my neighborhood... i seem to see those more often than a fake 55/63...

Last week this CLK63 Black Series was on ebay... debadged!

Kind of unexpected, not that you would mistake it for anything else...

Is there an opposite of poser?

Did they move the Turnpike? It doesn't go near Lawrenceville.
