This cross breed-badging is getting out of hand. I really don't understand why people do this kind of thing. Sure everyone is entitled to their own tastes, likes, thoughts and opinions and such. But this is ridiculous. I've seen Type'R' everything, a Corvette Hyundai, Turbo Diesel Ranger, non-Cobra Mustangs, etc, etc. Why?? Rather than flame all those who are particpating in this cross breed-badging, I'm really trying to understand and get into their head to try and figure out why this is being done??? I laughed my hardest at the guy who said he probably has the only Mercedes V12 Cavalier in the world. I said to him "Yeah, no sh**!", laughed, shook my head and walked away. He had nothing close to a V12, nor anything resembling Mercedes products, parts or style. Then talking briefly with the Corvette/Hyundai guy was too funny. What a dork. Chatted with his buddy/passenger after the other guy walked away, and even his buddy was laughing at him, and says he has nothing but an intake under the hood. And yet he has two '405hp' Z06 Vette emblems on his car. I really don't get it. Confused and bewildered.
Cheers,

I don't know what you're talking about. My V-16 General Dynamics MINI Cooper S F1 Enzo is totally stock. :smile:

You must be the envy of the town, the coolest of the cool. Especially with being part Enzo in there. You have to be selected to have one of those. So you must be the choosen one to have a part Enzo MINI
I should order up a Lamborghini emblem and stick 'er onto my MCS, to have the first so called 'V12 Lambo MINI'. That is.......unless someone here beat me to it.
Wonder how long it'll be before I see a Type'R' MINI.
