We've all seen them, like a Mustang with a Hemi sticker. What is the latest or funniest you've seen? Here's my contribution:

Was stuck behind this lovely gem for 20 minutes, doing 20 on a 45. The best part? The Performance license plate frame. I hadn't noticed until the stop light, after which I wooped my potato out to get an SR20.

What have you seen lately?

I've also got a friend with a Cummins badge on the front of his CR-V.

It's been a long time, so I no longer have a picture, but I once saw a Chevy Cavalier with GT-R badges on it...

I once saw a Dodge Caravan with Se-R badges, since we're talking Nissan.

Cobra 'mero huh?

And do please tell me the Cummins badge one is a joke, please let me have some hope in humanity. Is it?

A friend of friend had spelling problems. He had an old VW Beetle but he was motorbike enthusiast and liked Hondas. So he made big window sticker for the beetle's windshield that had read: "Hoda racing".

Lol, it doesn't cost to dream does it? Were they legit badges or knock offs? :P

I passed a Prius just the other day that was completely decked out in TRD decals and wraps.

I was honestly completely dumbfounded by it. I could barely take my eyes off such a walking (driving?) oxymoron.

No idea. They were accurate knockoffs if they were knockoffs. I hope they were knockoffs, I can't imagine legit GT-R badges are cheap...

I hate stacks but this is funny.

Yes. The Cummins one was a joke. Though that thing does have a V-tec head swapped onto it, engaged by a toggle switch.

Two things. This:

I also once saw a Sienna with rally lights. Unfortunately, no SR20

I almost feel bad laughing because I have a slight form of dyslexia. But haha! Did he keep it for long?

Oh gawd. Lol, now that you mention it I do recall seeing a lot of Se-R badges on Cubes back in AZ

That is just great. Sir, do please stop overcompensating and get over yourself.

They should add little Prius decals that look like they are flying away from the exhaust. Like flies.

I have yet to experience such a spectacle. I know I will probably laugh my head off and end up on the side of the road crying and with abs of steel from laughing so hard.

Photobucket says no.

Also, van with lights becayse rally-van.

I could honestly barely keeps my eyes on the road. I don't think I was laughing until I turned down a different road. I was just staring at it, with mouth agape at the sheer spectacle of a Prius with TRD decals.

And I mean, it was all over. He had the full treatment of TRD decals and wraps - trunk, all 4 doors, hood, rear quarter panel - you name it, had a TRD decal on it.

I do not know why. :/

But it's an older accord where the Honda badge was replace by a Ford badge, because why not?

Mmmmm... Toggle switch VTEC.
I contemplated doing this to my Odyssey. It's a shame that you don't get that aggressive cam until 4300 rpm when you're driving a 4000 lb car with an automatic.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > willkinton247 02/24/2014 at 10:01

I've heard of people doing this in Detroit and other cities that build American cars because people will actually vandalize foreign cars.

It works now for some reason. That is just.. wow.

I do not sense you're joking. If you're not, that is unreal! I have gotten comments on my jap cars, since that is all own at the moment. But only like once or twice and they were by dudes in a Mustang with his gf in the car.

That is beyond obsessive. Were they even aligned right? lol. Did it have the classic Domo cloth toy thingy hanging from a hot pink towing hitch at the back? The craziest Prius I've seen was lowered and on like 18's (which barely fit the thing). And blacked out.

spanfucker retire bitch > Lekker 02/24/2014 at 10:16

Nope, they were all perfectly aligned. It was a white Prius with the black decals. Whoever put them on actually did a pretty good job. It was just beyond ridiculous looking having them on a Prius.

I think it didn't stay in the beetle for very long. Too bad this happened before digital camera became popular.

yeah I read a couple of stories on a Honda forum of people specifically targeting foreign cars, but it's not first hand so who knows if it's fact.

Dear God, the irony

Sorry to hear about your dick, man.

Not meant to be ironic. Many cars got this frame.

I hate to be the buzzkill... but there is an explanation...

Stop reading now if you don't want to know.

Here in Omaha, there is a pretty large dealer group called Performance. Their biggest division is the Toyota. So, there is an actual dealer called Performance Toyota. I don't think they understand irony.

Lekker > CobraJoe 02/24/2014 at 10:47

Yeah I know. The lower left section of the trunk has a normal metal badge from the dealer. But as stated, the irony surpasses any logical explanation.

My Scion came from a dealer named Precision Toyota, but the stickers they use is pre-toy. Gives me a giggle or two.

When I bought my Mustang GT, I really wanted to have my license plate read "SRT8 SS"

That would seriously make my inners twist if I had seen that.... I should get a bunch of M or AMG badges on my 370 just to f with people and probably be on someone's list of stupid drivers.

Ha!!

I saw that truck about two weeks ago in GR, MI. I think he lives around here.

I saw a red Prius with one of those "It's Red It's Fast It's Mine" frames.

I just today saw a rather elusive Prius turbo on the way home from work!
