Even worse, I used to keep seeing a Hyundai Tiburon with the same decal every morning on the drive to work. I'd just shake my head and drive by.

I was thinking of painting my lower rear bumper until I saw that car. Sometimes I think that God blesses us with a lack of money so we don't do things we'll regret in the long run.

The sad part is he actually spent real money to get the posts filled and repainted. It's not like he just bought $10 ferrari stickers. He spent a few hundred to get that look.

I'm doubting that. There is nothing saying that those stickers aren't covering up the post holes. he has a sticker over every place that there would be holes.

It is, click the link in my first post, it's for sale at eBay Germany. The seller says "The Ferrari symbols are authentic and people who don't know much about cars may truly mistaken it for a Ferrari".

What an idiot - who wants its RX-8 to be mistaken for something different?

No, no no... this does neither marque any good. Dilutes the Ferrari brand and makes the 8 look like a poseur. "The Ferrari symbols are authentic.." - yeah, and...?

It's so stupid that I actually kind of like it. Not that I'd ever do that to my car, but just knowing that there's a Mazdarrari out there is quite entertaining.

If he really wanted a Ferrari he could have bought an old 308 for about the same price of a new RX-8 ($25-30k)
