not only a POSER, but also an A-HOLE

ok, i love to read poser threads on here from time to time. its just way too much fun.

i have recently moved to a new place, and i see my neighbor who drives W211 as well. (E320 to be exact) but has some 19 or 20 inch wheels, quad exhaust (one of those ebay, really bad looking without bumper cut outs if you know what i mean) and of course he has E55 AMG badge in the back.

and thats it, bumpers and everything else is E320 stock.

i saw him before (has a strange work schedule, i dont see him too often) and was thinking: huh...another poser, oh well. never gave it too much of a thought.

well, tonight i was washing my car in the driveway with my buddy while my neighbor was pulling into his garage. my buddy was like oh, look E55. I told him to go ask him if it was AMG, just for fun. My buddy refused, and called be an ***. I felt guilty.

so i tell my neighbor hi, and ask him how is he doing, without any sarcasm what so ever.
in return i get this funny look from him, and while he glances at my just washed and waxed car tells me "So Far, So Good!" and he does it with the most snubish expression on his face (like yeah, dude keep washing your sorry *** car, while wanting my E55). as he was saying it, he closed his garage door.

i was shocked! i really dont care what kind of badges ppl put on their car, but this guy turned out to be a total looser.

My buddy who was washing his 6er Bimmer with me, was like dam dude!

i am sad now... it sucks to have this kind of neighbors.

In case you hadn't noticed, 95% of all people just plain suck.

Yeah, people like that will act like that will inevitably do so to the wrong person and will get bodily harm in exchange for their @ss-hat-ness. haha

I had a similiar experience. I was driving the M and was being tail gated by this nerdy asian kid in a red E93. I move over to let him pass, and as he does he gives me the smug "I'm better than you are...come lick my shoes" look, which I just ignore. He passes and I read the following on the badge on his boot: "///M3"
lol

Come to FL. You'll change your mind pretty quick. It's a different setup down here. Most people are honestly just d*cks.

And what exactly is your advice anyway?

Every time some azzhole with a rebadged posermobile and an ego the size of Texas is rude and nasty, we should all run after them and start kissing butt and making friends so we can discover their inner beauty? Lol. No thanks.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think people should be polite to one another regardless of whether you get to know them or not. Your comment seems to imply that I have some responsibility to get to know people just in order to avoid being treated rudely, and I think that's total BS.

I'm polite to everyone until I have a reason not to be, and I expect the same in return. Most of the time, I don't get it....hence my comment.

Yeah, but you live in Daytona! I have a place in Naples and most all of the people that I have encountered there are very pleasant. Except for the greeter at The Dock...he is a real d*ick!

Lol, ya well....the difference between Daytona and Naples is huge. It's like comparing Dorchester to Martha's Vineyard, or Compton to Orange County, you get the idea.

You guys are pretty ritzy over there. Naples reminds me of boca or east delray, but on the Gulf. Nice place. I bet you are blowing the age curve though...lol...I have heard people call it "heaven's waiting room". People call Daytona the "Redneck Riviera". Lol.

Time to slip a college girl 50$ and have her call his wife claiming,

Should see the moving van arriving within a week or so.

Marco/Naples, Ft Meyers, Sarasota to Anna Maria "Land of the newly wed and nearly dead" and yes "heaven's waiting room".
The "Redneck Riviera" is from Pensacola, Destin, Panama City to Apalachicola.
Daytona, redneck? not even close to the level in the panhandle.

Well it sounds like he was basically in a nice way trying to give you the impression he has enough friends and leave him the *** alone. If he wanted to go wash cars w/ you and you "buddy" i'm sure he would of been a lot nicer.
people need to learn to mind there own business. that means even if your nieghbors, you should of expected a response like that.

Oh don't get me wrong i absolutely love it here. Beautiful weather, beautiful women, but there are a lot of a holes driving around. Miami didn't win worst drivers in the USA 3 years in a row for nothing.
