Default Why would anyone do this??

cruised past a caryard that imports yank iron, on my way home this evening, and spotted this:



a closer look:


for those that can't make it out, its a 'GT-R' badge from a skyline. the yard was locked up so i couldn't get closer, and it was dark and raining.
not a fan of the rims either...

Thats like the 180SX I've seen getting around with a 'Turbo' badge clearly off of a 911 Porsche. He must have had a screwdriver handy in the carpark that day.

Reminds me of one of my mates that drive past this tiny old ИИИИbox that had a huge COMMODORE sticker across the windscreen, but when they got up close in little letters above it it said "When I grow up I wanna be a..." lol

I remember a video on the net, of a mustang, that had one of those badges, and the big black dude that owned it, told the people it was a special edition GTR Mustang. Lol was funny.

Looks to be about a '70 Plymouth B-body .. Satellite, RoadRunner, etc .. powered by anything from a 225 Slant to 440+6 (SixPak). Fools who would stick those badges on that car do not deserve to own it.
