Poser sighting...

javajaws · 05-24-2008, 12:56 AM

Usually, you see old beat up Civics pretending to be something they are not. But this one was a new one for me. Little does this guy know that 1 out of 10 people in Austin drive a BMW and that he's going around town making a fool out of himself...

I should have got a shot of the hood - it was a real hatchet job. He was apparently still in the process of midding it...lol.

addy85 · 05-24-2008, 12:58 AM

wow

ChuckBimmer · 05-24-2008, 01:06 AM

It's like the 3er's putting M3 add ons to their cars. Thanks for the laughs.

sinnet112 · 05-24-2008, 01:13 AM

Hey at least he didn't go halfway and just leave it at the badges on the trunk and hood. He had the capacity to think about the center caps

lkn · 05-24-2008, 01:18 AM

photoshoped?

BK · 05-24-2008, 01:31 AM

I want to see if he replaced the steering wheel.

Should be laws against this or make it a infringement fine that could be pursued by police - Misappropriation by false pretences. A bit like putting fake plates on your car. Heck, this car could be used for holdups and unsuspecting people could give evidence as a BMW being the "get away" car.

rambalu80 · 05-24-2008, 02:04 AM

If the guy was pulled over, I am thinking he'd either be in trouble for trying to change the make of the car or the cop would be extremely dumb to identify his car as a BMW VR6.

BMWKLR · 05-24-2008, 02:05 AM

Should of got a pic of the driver.

karliejai · 05-24-2008, 02:06 AM

nicely done guy!

shift330 · 05-24-2008, 02:09 AM

That looks silly. But it's not as bad as when people graft a BMW front clip onto a Honda Civic

....And yes, I have seen it (More than once!)

asif163 · 05-24-2008, 02:15 AM

OH man...pathetic...and hilarious!

Maybe that was the point?

vinlikesred · 05-24-2008, 03:48 AM

that car looks better than 1-series.

JamieA · 05-24-2008, 03:54 AM

Are you kidding? That VW looks like a fridge on wheels. Which is what it is, because VW is the German Toyota (or they like to think they are)

The 1 series has a heritage, and soul, and for that it is deeply beautiful.

no, i'm not kidding. it wasn't exactly the praise for vw jetta - rather, i was thinking how ugly the 1s are. of course it's just me but from what i've read on this forum, i'm not the only one...
