[King Rudi]

If a person inserts dandelions in their anus and walks backwards on all fours, it is their prerogative. Regardless of their intent, it will still be looked upon unfavorably by those who do not act in such a manner. Anyone can do whatever they like to adorn themselves or their personal possessions. Case in point, I'm a former tattoo artist, I know this all too well. Some tattoos get viewed as insane works of art, some get raised eyebrows. This is two part - 1.) the design/art work/general idea of said tattoo and 2.) the artists ability to apply their talent. We view the fake ///M's as such. Their intent is to fool people that don't know any better (and that don't really care) to elude to the fact that their vehicle is something more than it is. Furthermore, their attention to detail and their "ability" (or lack thereof) to apply said applique is applicable here as well.

In short, their "I'll fool everyone" mentality is what we scoff at.

I'm guilty too. I have "F" badges from the RC 350 on my on my IS. However, my IS is an "F", I just didn't like the white/chrome badges, on a really dark car, that has no chrome whatsoever. What would get me laughed at, or finger's pointed, would be if my car was not an F.

We're all human, we should all be nicer; but we aren't, because we are human.
