Default Another Lexus Poser

Im leaving this thread in here for a bit...then I'll move it later.

I pulled up behind this Toyota Camry yesterday in traffic....and noticed something different. Sure enough...another poser here in Hawaii....swapping out their emblems to transform their Toyotas to a Lexus.

My wife was quick to grab the camera and take this shot while moving.

Unfortunately, this is the 2nd time I witnessed this in my hometown.

Enjoy the laugh.

Pete

Are Lexus owners that slap on Soarer or Celsior or Aristo badges on their car along with the Toyota logo posers also?

Just food for thought.

Well, not really lol. I mean The 1st and 2nd gen GS was an Aristo at one point or another. Or just about any Lexus before 2005 could of been called a Toyota something. But if you're putting Toyota badges on your 2006+ Lexus...then yes you are a poser

You should have pulled out in front of him, grabbed some fish line, and took them off right there and then......

Pete why you lying man.
YOU KNOW this was your car man. You did a Camry rear end swap on your GS.
Be honest with us here man.
