In the Tib I once got asked what body kit I had on my RX7

I looked at the Hyundai badge, then looked back. Then glanced back at the logo and said "the best."





Back when I had the '07 Accent someone asked me "is really that really a Hyundai?"

I had to respond: "Nope, had Toyota install these badges for extra bling."





Got a speeding ticket in February on my way back from Florida, 85 in a 70. When the cop walked up to that car he's all "don't you think this car's a bit small to be going that fast?"

I was all my strength not to open my smart mouth. In hind-sight it made no difference, still got the ticket. I should have been like "well, we chopped the back half off to reduce weight."







Kind of related, but I did once get pulled over for doing 70 in a 55. Knowing full well I was busted, when the cop walked up I though I'd be fun to mess with him so I'm all like, "officer I know what you stopped me for." He lowers his state patrol issue oversized sunglasses all like, "really son, then tell me." I go "you want me to buy a ticket to the policeman's ball." And without missing a beat dude is all, "son, state troopers don't have balls." Not a millisecond went buy and dude figured out what he said, he walked back to his car, shut off the lights and headed down the road.

True Story!

That is Awesome.



With the Tib we have no badges other then the drunken H. We had gotten stopped a few weeks ago and the cop walked around the car twice before asking my wife (who was driving at the time) what kind of car it is. Though that doesn't surprise me much because the people at work still call it a Celica.

The Tib gets mistaken for "something Italian" pretty regularly.

My 7 year-old said he thought my doors looked better before I repaired the crash damage from an Accord smashing the side of my car in
