I always think the rebadging thing is pathetic, but certainly worse when someone puts a different car manufacturers badge on his car. I have seen the Porsche "turbo" badge on Saturns!!!!

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.)

I think some of the new members don't get it. You are such a trouble maker , you guys need to check out his Sig

Damn. Discovered... Must admit, I truly enjoy messing with people's minds (and egos). By the way, I did that "555i" thing to my car way before BMW announced the real 555i was on its way. Looks like I'll have to rebadge up to "565i" now... At least with this spoof you guys didn't have to suffer with my rudimentary PhotoShop skills that were used in my fake "BMW Announces New Wankel-Powered 5-Series" press release.
