    Default Why would you need two badges?

    Was driving along friday and saw a toyota... that seemed to be proud of being a toyota.

    See pic below! Now my question is WHY would you need 2 badges at the front of the car? O.o For something that wasn't performance or a show car! Any other stupid people you've seen on the road post in here too if you want [just mask the numberplate].

    No camry I have ever seen has had a badge there...apart from this bloke.

    But yes it looks incredibly stupid.

    As above, no Camry has a badge on the bonnet like that. Even the vienta model. The only difference is the surround for the badge is colour coded (like that one looks) where the badge is in the grill.

    Just a wanker. Much like the people who put chev badges n their LS1 powered car 'coz its da chev motor bro'

    Not at all surprising...I've seen things like that a few times...including a VK i saw down in Brizzy a few years ago that had Commodore badges both in the correct place on the boot lid, and on the rear garnish (in the same place as where the Commodore badge is on the VL)

    Most toyota drivers I know are more one-eyed than ford and holden fans put together. These guys love driving toyotas!

    Actually, you are right about that. I worked with a guy that drives a Toyota, before his engine ended up with a piston rod through the side of the engine [apparently] he said that his car could beat mine... yet he never came through with the goods. I would leave him behind everytime. I actually saw him on the road today LOL Weird

    Much like the people who put chev badges n their LS1 powered car 'coz its da chev motor bro'[/QUOTE]

    I had a talk with a bloke driving a VT SS ute the other day, now as far as i know i'm right, but please tell me if i'm wrong, as that would explain to me why he was looking at me like i was a dick head

    I asked him why he had a Chev badge on his ute?? Conversation as follow:
    Him- cause it's got a Chev motor in it
    Me- did you put a Chevy motor in it?
    Him- no, it's a 5.7, a 350, it's a Chev motor
    Me- it's not a Chev motor though, it's a GM motor, GM supplies motor to Holden, Chev, ect ect. What you have i a GM motor, supplied to Holden.
    Him- no, it's a 350 Chev motor
    Me- no, it was never a Chev motor.......and he started to get angry at this stage so i left and went about my own buissiness....

    Am i wrong, and making a complete arse out of myself, or is this guy just a tool, who had a problem with the Holden badge that came on his car???

    Yes, he's the exact person i was referring to when i made that comment, morons who think because its a 5.7L GM motor that it was going to be put into a corvette, but instead holden bought it

    Don't worry, some people you just can't tell.

    Theres a girl in SA that has a VT or VX SS with the plates CHEV350, epic lolz
