poser got toasted

hey guys...just wanted to tell a funny story that happened at the end of the 4th of July BBQ I was at yesterday. My friend drove his CLK430 to the BBQ and parked directly behind a C class that was badged as "Lorinser" on the left top trunk lid, and "AMG" on the top right....the car had 18" chrome Lorinsers and the V6 Kompressor badge on the sides...but when I looked for the AMG brakes, I didn't see them...LOL. Anyways, we were introduced to the owner of the car later, and I was like "nice car dude...C32's are really fast" he was like "yeah...i had it customized at CEC in LA. I smoke M3's all day." (of course he had a smug look on his face like he was the man for having a 32.) After the BBQ ended, I had my friend ask him to race from light to light, since there were 5 lights until we got back on the freeway. He was like "naw....i really don't like racing...but the girl he was with kept on telling him to do it, so he finally gave in. Anyways, my friend smoked him at every light, and we even slowed down to say laterz to him before we got on the freeway, but he was too embarassed to even say bye.

I guess the moral of the story is "you might look like the real thing, but when you get called on it and get smoked, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it....LOL "
