I knew it would happen...New VX "Diablo"

[VXD959]

Well...It only took a couple of days since I decided to get a "Diablo" badge for my VX when a guy coming out of AutoZone asked me: It's that a real Diablo? When did they come out? Is this a new model?

I did not have the guts and told him the truth...It's not really a "Diablo"...

I don't know if his face was of dissapointment...or shame.

Anyway, attached are some pics...A little ricey I think..but it adds another tale to the enigmatic and misterious Vehicross...

You should of just looked at him and said..."Heres your sign".

Funny. I would probably always have to be honest too, even if I started out jokingly playing along. But I am beginning to understand debadging now.

Someone previously badged their VX with all Ferrari badges and was instantly tagged as a "tool". My lips are sealed.

WormGod,

I know. I will take it off as soon as I can find a decent badge. But I'm having fun with it right now. Besides, you cannot "compare" a Ferrari with a Lambo .

At least I did not put a CAMRY badge (BTW: I saw someone on the freeway that transposed the letter of the CAMRY badge and now it says "MYCAR").

I'm not kidding you: when I put the badge on, I was just waiting for someone to ask....I never expected it to be this soon....

I think I'm going to stay with the "NZNSI" badge.....

Heh, nah, dont get the wrong idea. I wasnt pinning you to the corkboard. I think its always fun playing with people's heads and I get a kick out of what REbadging does to some people. In the Ferrari guy's case, I think he was pretty serious about going for that look. Not sure I understand, but as long as he finds it suitable for his purposes.

Funny this popped up though cause I have a friend who has a hybrid and it just had some body work done from an accident. She asked them not to put the hybrid badge back on so they just gave it to her. We were joking around this weekend and I stuck it on my fender so it looked something like this....

Hahahaha.... now THAT would make some people cock their heads to the side.

Yes, it's very funny the kind of questions/comments that you get...

BTW, today I was in my company's parking lot when a lady approached me and asked: What kind of vehicle is that?

Of course, I started telling her all the nice things I could remember about the VX (pride of ownership): from TOD to suspension, cladding, carbon fiber, recaro leather seats, off-road capabilities, uniqueness, numbers of manufactured vehicles, halo vehicle, etc...

I went on for about 5 minutes when she suddenly said.....

Oh, nice, but IT LOOKS LIKE A FROG! ;eekr; ;eekr;

Needless to say, I'm having a depressing morning at work...
