I assume it is a lack of self esteem in the driver, so their car has to make up for it in some way. Though it is funny to think that it is relatively cheap to rebadge the exterior of the car for everyone to see, but the badge on the drivers wheel is looking you in the face while their driving (unclean, unclean). Unless of course they spend the $$$ to have that one removed. Does anyone know how cheap it is to rebandage the steering wheel.... LoL

Why does anyone care anyways? People will do what they want. Look at the bently type badges on all the Hyundai's. I don't care.
You ARE in a GT86. If your car had an Aston Martin badge on it, would you think you were in a real Aston Martin? I must say thanks, though, as your post has provided some real insight into the re-badge crowd.

So if there was a pic of your own asshole on the front and back of your car, you would think you are IN your own asshole?

ETA: Go right to the Veyron badge. All your homies will be impressed.

Personally my vote has always been debadged. Nudity is a true artform. Unless your car looks like Ron Jeremy.
