Oh man this reminds of the time I showed my buddy the nasty rust on his “Rust Free” car. The one he flew to California to buy and spent top dollar for. I felt like such a shit-heel....

Had he been some douchebro kid...I would have. But he was an older guy probably in his 60's proudly wearing his Vietnam Vet hat. He reminded me of my father in law who served in that war and still has issues to this day. He clearly likes to show off the fact that he has a “Hemi” in his car, I didn’t want to be the guy…

As a dealer employee, I can say with absolute certainty it’s FAR more common for a car owner to try to trade in a car with deceptive badging than it is for a dealer to try to sell a car as such. In the last couple years I’ve seen:

- A “JCW” Mini with single right-size exhaust and no hood scoop (looked under the hood,…

Whatever happened to the days when the first thing guys wanted to do when asked about their car was pop the hood and show it off? Kinda sorta makes me think the old dude probably added the badges himself.

I’m not a lawyer, but I suspect it would come down to what was written, not what was said. So for example, the salesperson could have said, verbally, “It’s a Hemi!”. But if the paperwork for the sale says “base model V6", then the buyer may not have recourse (unless maybe the buyer could prove that the salesperson was…

I would refuse to buy a car with anything but a dealer plate cover. If they can’t remove their advertising, I won’t buy it. They usually budge pretty quickly on that.

Will never buy from a dealer that paints their logo onto my car

I haven’t heard of fake badges where I live, mainly because the real performance trims are plentiful and because people will catch on instantly. Hopefully someone else here will name a dealer that does fake badges. I’d like to hear how the dealer gets away with it.

I pray that they have an unbelievably horrible first year that they just give up

Factually correct is not nitpicking. But no go ahead, the GT40 was purely American and you also won WWII single-handed.

I get not really caring for the design, but to pray for it to be a horrible failure? Jesus, man. You need to go get some new grapes, yours must be pretty damn sour.

This is the most ridiculously awesome article EVAR! I am just giddy now.

The Ford GT might be the most shocking car ever revealed.. From stealing the show from the NSX to possibly threatening major supercar players..

I still chuckle at Mark Fields dropping the mic on Honda at NAIAS 2015. The NSX had been vaporware for so long everyone was like “meh” after seeing the GT.

Too much internet for you today

I always thought they looked like a maniacal R2-D2, myself.

My thighs have the habit of chewing denim in a matter of months, so I end up with pants that are perfect everywhere else, but have a hole in my crotch. I don’t ride bikes(yet) but if these things are as strong as they say, I’m very tempted to buy them.

I am not a motorcyclist but I can swear to you that within a years time I will have destroyed a pair of jeans from this company just by me being me.
