When I was a teenager cruising in my best friend's Mom's way cool Chevy Impala convertible (said his cousin 'slump down a bit, it makes it look like a sports car'), I saw a real poseur - a guy with ski racks (and skis!) on his car; and we knew he didn't even ski.
Man, that was way back (late '60s). All those cruisers are pumping up the muscle car market now, I suppose (I prefer Porsches).

These kids love to call each other posers:
