Midlife crisis and an epic FAIL!

[James Burke]

The topic of "midlife crisis" came up on another thread, and I had to share what I found on wikipedia.

Is it really THAT bad out there?

From wikipedia:

Insecurities go so far as to affixing the badge of an expensive sports car to a cheaper one, in an attempt to convey a false sense of success.

I have actually seen a lot of people around here that will put King Ranch badges on their Ford trucks that aren't king Ranch trucks. So yea, I would say that it has gotten that bad out there.

Well I've got a Ford Ranger with Titan floor mats. Does that count?

i bought a wide body 911 once and had to take the "turbo" logo off the back that some idiot put on there.

Yes, I see it around here. I think the worse case was when I saw a car with saab rims, rolls royce logos on the doors, and mercedes logos on the back.... its was a chrysler sebring...

So then, I guess it's pretty much the automotive version of face lifts, a tummy tucks, veneers on the teeth, and a toupee.
