GL45???

Saw a GL45 this morning near LAX. If the loser is on this forum, I am the guy in the black CLS63 that you cut off and almost hit as you ran in shame.

That's right, every poor sap that gets his 0 ripped off in the car wash is "posing" as an AMG. What a laugh. You slay me.

Never said he was posing as an AMG, but come on, what is the significance of ripping off the "0"..... I guess I did not mention before that he replaced the exhaust with dual tips, although the quality of his tips looked like they came off a Nissan.

I love the posers who put the AMG tag on the right, but don't know enough to pull off the "0" to finish the job!
