I don't know if I'd go that far.

Does anybody remember "Waiting-4-550"? I wonder if he might have tricked up his badge?

How can we forget Waiting? Ever.

My money is still riding on ax. If you search his posts you can see evidence of when he did put 55 on his GL.

I don't deny i removed the "0" and added the AMG badge, it just wasn't me in Jersey. If you see a GL55 "poser" in Manhattan, now that's me.

There are a bunch of guys in this Forum (you know who you are) that i respect and know that everything is in good spirit (i'll never forget my "newbie" mistake,oknish) and yes,it was me who painted the "0" back on to bring peace but the whiteout didn't last one carwash...

Nothing pisses me off more than posers. I recently saw a kid around UCI driving a C230 with V8 Kompressor badges, AMG badges and other ****. What pissed me off more was he was a desi damnit and then he tried to race the CLS55.

Anyhow, why can't people be happy with what they drive? Do they think that adding a badge is going to make them look cool and/or give the car 50+ extra hp? The nerve of these people. Arrrrh. You already drive a benz, be proud.

Geez, I guess I better take off my door cups and my chrome hood fins. And anyone who puts in an aftermarket video system or iPod adapter is in that pool, too! And aftermarket wheels - whoosh! I'll need to nix my idea of putting the tow hitch on as well, I suppose. If it wasn't put on by the factory, it isn't legitimate - is that what I'm getting from you?

What if you take stuff off? I see between half a dozen and a dozen GLs a day now, and one of them has all the badges, save the star, taken off. The wheels are blacked, as are the windows with aftermarket tint, and I think they have taken the chrome off of the doors, too. Are they posers as well? And what if someone gets a Braebus version? Poser? If I get CDI tuned for better overall performance and mileage, will I be pissing you off then as well?

It's a car, dude, not a church. And you own it when you buy it, so if you want to mess with it that's your choice. Lighten up, for goodness' sake!

But luckily the first amendment also allows us to mock posers whenever possible....
