Chicago Poser?
I was driving from the airport last week and watched a last gen C class buzzing thru traffic, debadged but with "Brabus" on the trunk lid and big rims... Chicago X or anyone else ever see this guy? Sorry about the absolute cr*p picture, by the time I got my cell phone out of my pocket he was 100 yrds down the road...

Speaking of red cars in Chicago, were any of you in downtown Chicago last Friday (or that week) near the Sears Tower? I saw a small group of red W204, E90, and I think and Audi or something parked on the sidewalk corner around there.

Unfortunately, I was in a piece of sh+t chevy impala, and had no idea where the funk I was going... but when you're right, you're right! Excuses are like a-holes...

You guys will love this one, I was walking back to my SL600 from the drug store what do I see parked 1 car over an obvious C320 rebadged to C32 AMG w/NON amg bodykit
then the floating Ebay dual tip, topped off w/goddy crome Kragen type S "shi*t wheels) & V6 Kompressor side badges. Even had the AMG lic plate holder...
I grab my camera phn & start to snap off as few pix for the forum, and what do I hear from behind a 20 ish woman "Excuse me, what are you doing to my AMG?" I start to chuckle & ask her "Oh wow is this a real C32 AMG nice color (gold) but why doesn't it have the AMG body?? and where are the bigger AMG brake calipers??" she starts to yell at me as I'm laughing "It's a real AMG I should know, I bought it!!"
I said "Well sorry to break the news to ya, but it's a C320 all tarted up w/FAKE Ebay crap" as I got in my SL she stormed off waving dually birds my way, I just put my arm out the window giving the thumbs down shaking my head...

Everytime I come to Chicago, I see more poser cars than in LA. WTF is it with the Chicago folks?

You are my hero!!! I love it !!! She must have totally known it wasnt a C32.....
"What are you doing to my AMG!!!" Thats classic!!!
Keep up the great work!!! I keep my camera on my now for just such occasions.
You should have played along and been like..."wow I have never seen sch a nice AMG!!! Can I see who made your engine??? And then watch her bow out on letting you see that engine tag
Then let her have it!

It was funny, she deff knew 100% it wasn't a C32, & I did play along at 1st (I was holding my chuckle to a minimum) when I said "Oh wow is this a real C32 AMG nice color (gold)" she was fuming!!Best part was watching/listening to her wring out that C320, the HOT summer asphalt wouldn't let her burnout even if she poured hott Maple syrup on her rear tires

My fault for not reading your car description better. Damn Mercedes has so many models it's hard to keep up but I should have known a 600 model is not an AMG. Not that your car isn't the **** and still a slap in the idiot's face.
