My favorite is the one on the dead petal foot rest!

I'll have to look. I may have missed that one...

Nope, don't have one there.

Lucky You!

Here's what it looks like (please ignore the metal shavings on mats - pics taken right after pedal install and before clean up...lol)

I say if the car can't move on its own, then the "badge" is fake.

Those wheels look pretty sweet though. Wonder what model?

I was thinking the exact same @ wheels (especially with the chrome trim).
I pulled the pic from a "Is this worth fixing?" thread.

Here's my response along with a nice pic of the car/wheels pre-collision.

Shame! Such a clean looking ride, too.

Also see more and more Maseratis popping up with the Italian tri colours on the grille. Must take a photo next time.

However, it used to upset me when I would discover a bimmer wearing an illegitimate ///M badge or logo. They say imitation is the fondest form of flattery. Or fake it until you make it. With all these Chinese companies making fake s**t, no wonder people can get these so easily. I used to remember, when you went to the dealership to buy an ///M Bage or AMG badge they would ask you for your VIN, to prove that you actually have the vehicle if not, then they wouldn't sell it to you.
