Default Z06 Civic?

Forgive the crappy pic, it was from my camera phone. I was driving today and I pulled up a behind an old lady (maybe in her 40's or so) and she was driving a Civic with a Z06 badge! I am not kidding....it was truly puzzling.

Sorry about that...I was just trying to get across the fact that it wasn't some young kid who thought it would be a cool joke.

I have to remember the demographics of Vette drivers. I'm new, obviously.

And many of us are old farts in our 40s. Good thing my walker fits in the trunk.
I wonder if she'll get the stick on brake ducts next.

Hey...that's not "old."

(She's probably got a Z06 in the garage)

Well, the standard HP upgrade for stickers on a ricer is approximatly 10HP. BUT, considering its a Z06 badge, he might eek out another 5.

You had better not get that Civic emblem.

Someone in their teens or early twenties will post something like this on a Honda forum . . . .

Sorry Glen, mean no offense to you. Just having a little fun!

Here's something almost as weird...in Boston last year, I saw a guy using a guitar amplifier that had this on the front:
"LEXUS", then "Jesus" (in that little plastic fish affair), followed by "GT".
So, it was a LEXUS Jesus GT. At the lower left corner of the face of the amp, it also said "Fuel Injected'.
I've also seen an old Jaguar sedan, with a Daimler badge! Weird, wild stuff! lol
