lol. he wasnt being mean. im sure he realized his mistake when he walked around the car and saw the emblems. its just funny. my es300 i had was always mistaken for "the new buick". plus i live in colorado. RWD cars are rare here.

Yes, the city of Berkley gave me a citation stating that my White Honda was illegally parked, and that I need to pay them $35...and I've never even been to Berkley. Wow, all this time I've been thinking that I have a BO IS300 :uh:

All well, its bound to happen one day, just hasnt yet :D
