Poserific: Automotive Posers Are On The Loose Stronger Than Ever

Mitsubishi Galant with BMW roundel emblems?

You ever pulled up next to a riced out Honda Civic and it had a big “Type-R” emblem on it and you just know for certain that it was nothing more than a Civic DX with rims and cut springs? What about a Mitsubishi Galant a BMW roundel on the hood and truck? They are all over the place and some a quite a disgrace to the automotive race. Yes, I said it… a disgrace!

Just the other day at the gas station a Mitsubishi Galant pulled in front of my wife’s SUV and it had a custom grill and a funny looking roundel on the hood that I could not make out from a distance. So I broke out the handy iPhone and attempted to take a picture. As I walked close I noticed that this guy had a BMW roundel on the hood of his Galant. I was speechless. I wanted so bad to ask this guy “what kind of car is that?” Just to mess with him. I held back and settled for some iPhone camera action. After driving away and seeing the rear of this Galant I noticed he had another roundel on the trunk as well. Whoa! I didn’t bother snapping the image of the trunk as I think the owner of this “BMW” was on to me at this point with me holding my iPhone up in the air pointing at his “PHAT BMW”.

Here is the image that I snapped. (click for full size)

Maybe his girlfriend thinks it is a BMW?!?! What do you think?
