Yeah, that sounds about right.....it wasn't hard to figure out that guy was a total poser....

Probably he didn't get the awestruck responses he was hoping for w/ the original wheel post, and so he moved on to plan B in which he attempts to impress everyone w/ his amazing car collection and house. It's just funny how dumb these guys are....how many thousands of posers have been outed throughout internet forums, but yet some fool tries again every day. Such a weird mental condition

We need a "body count" thread to enumerate all of the posers and scammers we've pwned. Just in the last few months we'd have a pile of bodies, with some people even about to spend jailtime.

I think Dodge make a new car called a Caliber

I have a 44 Caliber pistol in my glove box.

I have 4 brake Calipers on my all of my cars.

I have a set of dial Calipers to make finite measurments on things such a brake rotors.

What is a Calibur? Any help here people? I only have a H.S. education

I've got a 7.62 CALIBUR Lapua round that I like to put through posers. Seems to be working fine. Don't see how it refers to rims though.

Yeah that was great......it is hard to believe that anyone who was specific enough to pick out that line-up of cars (or just an E55) would not know enough to know the difference

Don't be surprised - remember the guy in WV that won the lottery and then "lost" $250K outside a strip club. Money does not necessarily equate to intelligence.

You'd like to think someone that would own that collection (something we all would admire) would be able to string together a coherent sentence. Otherwise - the illusion is shattered.

A good point but I'm just thinking in terms of the car collector.....I would hope that anyone who pieced together that collection of incredible automobiles would be able to spell caliper

My sentiment exactly, I am thinking along the lines of an old world a trophy room with 18 foot ceilings paneled in mahogany 20-30 wing back red leather chairs. You know a place we can kick back and admire the countless head mounts on the walls.

That's a DONK, they are a dime a dozen in the midwest....they started out here. Start with a 70's or 80's American made, preferrably a GM junker...Olds, Caddy, Impala remove the factory control arms, weld up a lift kit and throw on some 24-30 inch chormmies for the hommies and paint it so it looks like a bass boat. Yep, I'm thinking about doing one up for my next project car.

Please please please tell me people do this as some kind of joke, and don't seriously try to drive these things around... that's even more preposterous than I originally imagined. When I was in autoshop in high school in 1988, some of the guys put a lift kit and mudders on an AMC gremlin as a goof just to show they could do it, but no one ever drove it - at least very far!

Sorry to say, but I am serious as a heart attack. People really drive around in these things on public streets. Granted the one pictured is a little Xtreme, I have not seen one with wheels bigger than 30", those wheels in the above pics look like 34-36"???? But honestly these things are all over Chicagoland and St. Louis as well. It's a mid-west thing I guess?????? I alway get a big laugh when on pulls up next to me, 8" lift, 30 inch wheels on a 4800 pound 1984 Caprice Classic running stock two piston calipers in the front and drums in the rear...I bet Fred Flinstone could stop his car faster with his feet! LOL

Do a Google Images search on DONKS.....Get ready to laugh!
