We don't care enough to be triggered, but we'll sure as shit laugh at and judge the hell out of you for it. We have to keep our standards unified.

BMW is just as guilty!!!!! Go to the configuration page on the official BMW site and enter an M build.....guess what M340, M550,M850, etc shows up and they are not true M cars. Even those cars have M badging on the console, dash, entry door sills. and on the trunk. Because of this, does not bother me if someone puts the M badge on a base car......

If it comes from the manufacturer, regardless of their classification/packages, it's acceptable. If the owner/operator slaps a badge, or decal, trying to pass the car along for something other than what it is, it's shameful and a judgeable, laughable and finger pointing offense. Douchery at it's finest. This thread is dedicated to "those" people.

Case in point. I have a close friend, he and I have been like brother's since we were 12. He bought a Dodge pick up a few years ago. During purchase, he saw a Rumble Bee that he liked, didn't want to pay the price for the truck, bought a different truck then asked the dealership to order him Rumble Bee stickers for the truck he just bought. After slapping the decals on, he couldn't figure out why everyone was trying to race him and giving him shit for it. Same mindset.

Continue the precession of shame.

Nod to creative thinking.

I guess their competition are civics and corollas. 4-bangers unite!
