Wow...a dealership doing this. So that its customers can't complain why they aren't getting a BMW as a loaner car?

BMW on Honda The guy may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but at least the rear end of the car looks better than the real 745

Gotta disagree....It's got everything to do with this, it's the oldest tricks used by bullies. Pick on the weakest prey cuz your chance of getting away is almost guaranteed. In this case, pick on a handicap person especially when the predator is a fat bastard(see reflection on the rear of accord). Fool knows that if he tried this same stunt with someone who isn't handicap, His fatazz can't run fast enough and will end up getting beat.

What troubles me is how someone could disrespect themselve so much by allowing themselves to be that overweight to begin with, yet still has the ***** to go around praying on handicapers. This dudes facial reaction in the reflection looked like he's a pro, almost as if he belongs to some ricebasher paparazi syndicates.


Also, this appears to be a well equiped upper model accord that probably cost him like $25K.
You can get a great pre-owned BMW for that money.
BMW's have heavy and unfriendly doors. The ones that can be had for 25K are way too small and very hard to get in and out that's why dude didn't slap on a 323emblem but a 745. BWM interior also have hard plastics with sharp edges, very unfriendly for handicappers. Not to mention the financial problems pre-owned BMWs will cause a handicap person. I'm sure this dude has already looked at his situation carefully and realize that Honda is the way to go even if he really desires a BMW.

Or maybe he was just trying to show everyone that both accord and 7series have ugly azzes and no matter what emblem goes on it, it won't look any better.

I guess they needed to stock a few vehicles they could depend on.

Do you think the photo taker was trying to make fun of the owner? Without seeing the original discussion of the pic (on whatever forum this originated on), the "fat bastard" sure got the owner's cooperation. He got interior pics and the guy (who I can only assume to be the owner) to pose with the car.

From the pics alone, it just looks to me like someone being proud of what they did, decided to take pics (with help) , and post them on the net. Little did they know, there will be discussions of this type about the car. For the most part, the feedback here is on the car, not the individual and a number of the replies came before the revelation of the owner's condition. Still, I don't think it should have bearing on the opinions of the car. If it was tacky before people knew he was handicap, it is still tacky after the knowledge.

Her: Yeah! It does. He uses it a lot when he parks and reverses.

Exactly

Not trying to put salt on the wound here, but let's put the handicap aside. As a matter of fact, let's put the owner out of the picture. Now what? Would it still be considered tacky?

No offense to anyone out there, but just b/c this person is handicapped doesn't mean he's immune to stupidity or can get away with certain things.

I don't think it's right to fool a naive person this is a bmw etc etc etc. Just like that Lorinser Edition GS that was sold on ebay
