A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Dinner...

When I was on my way to dinner, in fact, I was in the parking lot of Magianno's, I saw a Toyota Celica (with a bit of rice, of course) with (drumroll)...a GT-R badge beside the Toyota logo! I laughed my head off all the way inside.
 
Was it a Nissan GT-R badge? There was a Celica GT-R from the late 80's to mid '90s, it was just a 2 litre, although I think some versions ran 4ws.
 
That's not nearly as stupid as Ford dealerships putting GT-R badges on newer Mustangs. I've seen it on a few, and even know a kid who owns one.:scared:

Okay - well, that is pretty stupid then.

He didn't see the first, nor did he see the last - those badges and similar ones (Type R, STi) go for $19.95 plus S&H in any issue of Sport Compact Tuner or whatever it's called. They're extremely popular, I can recall seeing five in the last few months (all on Nissans, though).
 
Heh, what was funny was my dad was driving the Falcon, we were coming back from the airport, and we stopped at a roundabout, a Civic with like a 5inch exhaust sort of pulls up beside us, and the guy looks like he's driving for his life!!! :lol: He was hunched over the steering wheel, taking the car to about 6,000 rpm, and then my dad was just there, sitting back, barely even tapping the accelerator, and we overtook him easily...I was pissing myself laughing! :lol:

I thought you were a Holden person?

Burning people off when you're riding in the back of a New Mini is pretty damn funny.
 
I saw on top gear the other night (motoring programme in England) a picture where some one had got a Vauxhall Cavalier and tried to turn it into the Dukes of Hazrad car. The worst was the fact he'd taken off the Vauxhall Cavalier badge and replaced it with a Dodge Charger badge. I didn't look anythin like the car and he wasn't going to fool anyone. I've added a picture of the car for anyone who doesn't know.

I seen that, it wasn't even a badge, he had just written Dodge Charger on the back. Pretty funny.
 
OMG, a few days ago we were coming home from the mall. We were at the stoplight when an old Volvo (I think, might have been an old Accord) with a fat exhaust came next to us. D*mn it was ugly. The light turned green and we went off a usual. They were still next to us. My little brother (who has ADD so he likes to joke) started fake laughing and pointing at them. They started to zoom off and my dad kept with them. We caught up with another van (about 3 or 4 seconds later) who was in their lane and my dad slowed down next to the van so the other guy couldnt get through :lol:...

What were their expression n their faces as you pulled up with your brother laughing?
 
Hah, I saw a Thunderbird at McDonalds with a few Nissan GT-R stickers on it.

Honestly, who actually beleives him? If they are knowledgable enough to know what a GT-R is, they know its not that.

Well, I can't really choose what car my dad buys...;)

Heh, yeah, they'd be laughing at you in a chick's car! :P ;)

I think it's more about paying tribute in most cases.
 
And where exactly is it designated as a 'Females Car'??

Well, err...***runs back into bunker***

Since I saw two chicks in one...:P

Nah, I was just joking before, it's not a chick's car. Geez, some people need to look at all the smilies I put at the end of my sentence. ;)

Mexico City is starting to be "type R" place. I saw a 4door civic with the sticker the other day. a pirate sticker, for that, so it looked GREAT :rolleyes:
the drop was a nissan sentra, second generation (over here called the tsuru, there are 5 in each block) with, you know, a holo-dragon sticker all over its sides, ugly hubcaps that resembled a 5-spoke wheel, a coffee can as an exhaust, and a metal wing with a type R sticker on it. Oh, god. I wish it was parked somewhere and I could take a picture of the thing. monstrosity of the year.

Cano

those sights are funny.
 
This reminds me....

I saw a car coming up in the other lane, the other day. I see a GTR badge, and a body kit, so, I think it's a ricer, and I start laughing. As he gets closer, though, I see he's on the wrong side of the car. And I go "Ha ha ha ha ha ho oooooooohhhhhhhh sssshhhhiiittttt!" As the car goes past. And I see the unmistakable rear end of an R34 Skyline GTR! What I thought was a ricer was a real skyline! And I couldn't forget about it all day!

My favorite so far was the Ford Contour with Japanese writing down one side. If you're going to put someone else's language on your car, you could at least buy their car too.

Virginia Beach just got deliver of 10 or so Cheverolet Camaro's for squad cars about a month or so ago. They have Corvette engines in them (if you dont believe me, ask Talentless, he might have saw it on the news like I did). They look like any ordinary Camaro, except its silver on top, and Blue on bottom (two tone) and has Virginia Beach Police written in smaller than normal letters on the sides. I would just love to see some ricer try to pull on one of them :lol:...
