Fake Ml55
I was at MB-Manhattan today and saw this (sorry about the crappy camera phone quality)...
Is this anyones on MBWorld? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself!
If I see a non-AMG that has an AMG badge, I usually don't care especially if they have any AMG enhancements. But when someone completely rebadges their MB and try to pass it off as an entirely different veicle, I gotta say something.
I hope everytime you drive this thing and you see a real ML55, you shrink in your seat because you look like an idiot.
PS- All the staff at the service dept think your an idiot too

On top of that, you are embarrassing all true AMG drivers.

Did you recently move from AZ to NY and buy a white ML320 then forget to change your profile?

If you had an AMG, you would understand. It's only non-AMG owners that defend people like this.
The $10 Rolex watches in Chinatown aren't real nor are the $20 Louis Vuitton bags yet there are idiots that buy them and try to pass them off as they are until someone calls them out. Why??? Because there are people out there that paid for the real thing and don't want to be confused with those that only pretend to.
PS- To me, the fact that you defend this means you condone it.

What weak *** dude trying to play off his 320 as a 55. Most people would see or better yet HEAR the difference when the car is driving down the road. I came up on one like this on the Highway once upon a time and played with him... raced him but matched his speed the whole way to give him the feeling he might actually win and then I dropped the hammer and took off, pulled in to a gas station and the kid was like so thats what a 55 does.
PS thanks to everyone for stopping by the ML55 section, this is the most action we have seen in months
Ricker: Your right, the W163s are pretty worthless right now. When I got my ML55 in 03 my MY 00ML55 was worth 43k, now its worth in the vicinity of 21k maybe less. JUST SAD

Heh - I saw yesterday a totally wigged out CLK 430 with an AMG badge right next to the "430." And it didn't stop there... he had "AMG BENZ" in that ridiculous Old English looking font splayed across his rear windshield.
It gets better. He actually had a vanity license plate that read "AMG BENZ" - as if he hadn't already clearly established his poserhood.
Funny, I've got AMG floormats in my '01 CL600. Can I rebadge my car as a CL65 now? Haaa! I threw 'em under a couch in my house. I bought a used set of regular Mercedes-Benz mats which I actually use instead.
I don't hate on the rebadgers, I think it's kinda funny in that pathetic sorta way. Tell me you don't get side to side when you see one and shoot 'em an "awwww... you don't know any better" look, too. That's right before you drop the hammer, of course.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I swear, it almost feels as heavy and real as daddy's.
Not as heavy as some of my Fossil's though (gosh I love those watches, cheap and they last forever).
