Home and Auto WTF? I just saw a BENTLEY badged as a HYUNDAI! - Page 3

**TinyEvel** · 03-22-2009, 08:51 PM

SO, I'm driving home and stop at a light next to a Bentley Continental GT. I was admiring it and noticed the HYUNDAI emblem on the hood.

WTF??!!!

Then I noticed the wheel caps were badged H and the read trunk. THere was an unusual script decal on the lower right trunk which said "Chrome"

I was amazed. It was a middle-aged man driving, looked to be Iranian or Indian.

THis bafles me.

But I Googled it and here's a blog post...another sighting, here in L.A. --same color. It must be the same car.

Just weird.

I just learned the "Why?"

The driver owns a Hyundai dealership.

(So, he can afford a Bentley by selling Hyundais?)

I also had a license plate frame that said "Play with my dick, not my head"

HA When I was a kid I had a holder that said "My other ride is your daughter"

If I made my fortune selling Hyundai's, I'd drive a Hyundai.

I always kind of thought that Chrysler bought Lamborghini back in the 80s or thereabouts just so the Chrysler executives could buy Lamborghinis.

Not quite. The real reason, was the same one for them making an arragement with Maserati. Image. Remember the Chrysler TC? It was a Chrysler/Maserati
cross breed.
Between the K-Car and Mitsubishi junk, they wanted to change their image.

I might have to replace my old faded Chiefs holder with that gem.

Weird. A few weeks ago near KCI, I did see a panel van (multi-primer colored) with the Cadillac Escalade badge all over it.
