Default G///MC Suburban

It's kind of hard to see, but this idiot put a BMW ///M badge on their suburban.

WHY ARE PEOPLE DOING THIS?!

I'm surprised this kind of stuff is not illegal. To me, it seems that it would violate auto-registration laws in many states...and it would be similiar to driving around with false license plates or a false registration. Seems like insurance companies might also take a dim view of it.

The insurance companies should charge a higher premium on those cars with a "high-performance badge" like the //M logo or AMG logo in it. Hey, those badges add at least 80 hp to the car! They are the cheapest performance upgrade you can get! (also reflects the cheap taste).

Bingo! Like the cheesy E320 with AMG badges
Insurance: Sir, you didn't tell us your suburban is an //M-a higher performance car. We're going to have to raise your insurance premium.
Service: Sir, we're going to have to charge you $300 for the oil change....it's an //M

I doubt it but at a couple of the REALLY high end car shows (Pebble Beach, Concorso Italiano) the SUVs that I see have whatever sportscar they have, the emblems of them on the SUV. One guy will have a Escalade with a Porsche emblem or a M5 with a Lambo emblem on the back or sides. Alot of those guys do it. Kinda like im driving this but I have this...



On a side note, I saw a red Celica GT debadged with the Ferarri prancing horse shield emblem on each side of the front fenders like the 360's. WOW That was sad but he though his ride was the shizz

LMFAO but you did make a valid point earlier in the post because I know guys that actually do that. But the Prancing Horse is by far the best.

There's a guy with an E55 that I see at the Starbucks by me almost every morning. I bet he'd ***** a brick if he saw his E55 AMG turned into an E55 HEMI
