Fake W221 S65 spotted in NJ!!!

Just spotted about 30 mins ago:

White S550 AMG package/ pano roof
Portuguese Flag sticker on trunklid
Ray Catena plate frame
"S65" badge on trunklid
"///AMG" badge on trunklid
"V12 BITURBO" badges on both fenders

Front bumper was Sport bumper
Rear bumper had dual exhaust, NO QUAD EXHAUST!!

I pulled up next to the guy and said "Hey, is that a real S65!" He replied "No" and took off. It was a sweet looking car but no need to badge it as an S65 He was driving in the Union County area so BOLO!

PS - my cell phone camera sux so I don't have any pix, sorry.

If that is what floats his boat, than i would let him be--especially since he did not try to pull the "Yes, it is a real one, sir!". After all, he has pretty much earned the right to fake his way into an S65, since he has splurged the coin to get an S550.

I don't know why anyone would do that, it's not like the S550 isn't already a fantastic car.

Btw, I have been to that Ray Catena in Union, and while Ray Catena is a fantastic dealership, the clientele he is getting in his new showroom there on 22 is interesting to say the least.

Something on 4 wheels..
At least it was a fake of a car that really exists..
It's too funny when I'm spotting the famous M7 or X5M...

Thats funny that he said "yes", and you know hes probably loooking into a quad pipe system and 65 bumper...or maybe he'll throw on a "3" instead of a "5" and just do the exhaust...lol
