Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I changed a black carrera logo to a silver carrera in the rear.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't like it when people put improper badges on their car. Who are they trying to impress? The average person doesn't know the difference between 911 models, so the badge doesn't matter to them. The people who know the difference between models are the ones who recognize a car with the wrong badge.
OK, I've got to point out a few things here ...
1) it's a Mk 1 cab. Camouflage badging is allowed on Mk 1 cabs because some of you all give us Mk 1 cab owners such a hard time. Around here we would mostly respond to that kind of stuff with a friendly rejoinder like "F--- you, pal" (See? I just called you my pal. I'm a friendly guy.)
That said, some of these Mk 1 cab owners are far more sensitive, and this couple is obviously trying to disguise their Mk 1 cab as something less prone to Internet opprobrium. And let's face it -- they could've gone spatula. IMO, this is far less offensive than going spatula.
2) that looks like it might be a Massachusetts license plate. As anyone from NY would tell you, they do some fvcked-up sh*t in Massachusetts. Where I live, we're only about 30 miles or so from the Mass border; if the wind is blowing the wrong way, we have to be very careful.
3) I have no explanation for those hats. Those are some ghey hats.
And remember...no painting your brake calipers yellow, red or green. No Fisters or Gundo hacks either...you wouldn't want people to think your engine really sounds like that.
Now excuse me while I step out into my garage and say goodnight to my 2012 Porsche 911P1
That nudie pic was nice, but not worth a 2 week vacation...
IMHO, I don't really care how people dress up their P cars... they can paint them rainbow color and write "unicorn chaser" on the back for all I care, but when people rebadge a car to say it's something that it's not, then you got to wonder what are they trying to prove. Still, I don't have a problem with it... there are a lot of so called "tribute cars" out there and so more power to them.
But then there is a bigger problem... (I have a personal experience with this one.)
The problem comes when these people try to peddle their counterfeits on some poor soul who doesn't have enough knowledge about the cars to know what to look for. Thank goodness we can turn to AutoCheck and CarFax to help, but still, you must do your homework or you end up buying a fake.
My father purchased a sports car (back in the 80s before CarFax) that he thought had the upper end sports package, but later found out that the car had been wrecked, repainted, and falsely rebadged. OUCH!
When did we catch it? Later, when we noticed the car pulling hard to the right. We took it to a alignment shop and they couldn't get it in perfect alignment. The mechanic showed us where it had been welded and repainted. OUCH OUCH! Then 6 month later, the car's paint started to flake off. OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! He sold it and moved on with life. But lesson learned!
Ah man, I missed it. Who got the vacation? My money would've been on you, Pete, but obviously that's not the case. And Gonzo's still with us. I'm stumped.
That stuff has been going on for years. I have a friend who collects Oldsmobile 442s from the late '60s. He told me that it's quite common for people to rebadge a regular Cutlass as a 442 and try to sell it as such. Unknowing buyers frequently cough up huge amounts of cash for these cars, thinking they have a real 442.
I had a neighbor who slapped a Carrera GT badge on his 996 cab. We chased him out of town. Pitchforks and flaming torches were involved. The abused 996 went to a foster home and is doing well in therapy.
