Some scum-sucking, pathetic, attention-starved poser caused a recent commotion on the venerable Jalopnik.com car blog. You can read the post here. There were over 35 responses to the post! Think how many man-hours those people could have applied to discussing topics related to real cars!

Apparently this loser thinks that by replacing the middle "2" on his weak, little 2004 525i he can fool good, honest BMW enthusiasts into believing they're seeing a pre-production 555i. Well, let me tell you, this guy is full of BAT-SQUEEZE! (I'll bet he thinks he's reeeeal freakin' funny.)
