Default Saw something confusing today......

On my way to drop the wifey off we came across a Pewter C5 coupe that had a Z06 BADGE on the rear fascia and a big yellow pair of ***** in between the tail pipes

Now I have seen the man baggies on redneck pickup trucks and what not and I thought it was funny as hell but this was just wrong I expected to see bumper stickers as well.....I mean its their car but I still felt bad for the poor C5

I couldn't agree more.

Nothing ZO6 belongs on a coupe, WTF is wrong with some people.

Now I feel like kicking someone in the nuts, *** and then face.

I hope you're only referring to badges and not Ti's, screens ect. You'll find many coupe owners will disagree with you in this regard.

Take it easy on me my friend. Surely you saw the jester.

I have Ti's on my coupe but that will be it. I don't believe the brake vents and especially badges belong on the coupe but that is just my humble opinion. To each his own for sure, it's just not for me.

Not only is the guy a "poser"...he's an idiot poser. Doesn't even know where to mount his false Z06 badges! Next thing you know he'll be mounting his mud flaps over the wheel wells! Let's just hope he places his CB antenna in the proper place!

Oh ya...almost forgot about the 8 track player...this guy's gonna need some help!

Wa ha Wa ha Wa ha!

An interesting choice of color in that they were yellow and not blue. I had heard that blue ***** would turn yellow over time if not given proper attention but this is the first live sighting I've heard about. That guy must be climbing the walls.
