yeh I know. We live in such a BS world though.
I go to these RR events and they are all there rubbing their dicks on how great this or that is. Then for some its like who spent the most makes them a better class of owner/person. The mechanic who they all go too smashes them hard for the dark arts of working on such a incredibly refined, rare and complex beauty. Parts supplies charge 10+ times what a simple part cost for other marcs.

Its just nuts and bolts. I skip that parties.

A neighbor friend just sent me this. The one off unicorn M6 GT3 convertible! How could you drive this without wearing a disguise?! Maybe his helmet has a polarized shield?

Definitely gets my award for most commitment to the fraud... Not seen in these photos...full carbon race buckets and GT4-style steering wheel.

If you look closely, he even has grease pencil markings on his sidewalls. For instance the right rear says "RR, Set 3".

The ones actively trying to fool people seem sadder to me that someone who's just slapping on a badge/stripe/whatever because they like it. Be happy with what you have – envy is the thief of joy.

In all fairness, that actually looks good. Unless the owner is claiming its a genuine GT4, that look like he put in allot of effort to make a nice/fun looking car.

A true race car doesn’t rely on stock brakes; they usually feature a proper set from brands like Alcon or AP Racing, or something along those lines.

I mean, just look at his IG handle. He's absolutely trying to fool people. Plus the car is pretty largely stock.

In Texas we call this, all hat, no cattle.

Eleventy billion. Plus he automatically wins Cars and Coffee and the paddock at track days.

Listen, give the guy credit: at least if he went the fake badge route he aimed high and went with Alpina. Go big or go home, I guess.
