I remember being turned away from a cruise night (“You’re not cruising here!”) once because my Z “didn’t have any stickers on it” so it didn’t fit in. I just lol’ed and drove away, but this guy went though a lot of effort to try and get in, lol; > **[How I Convinced Fanboys My Civic Was A Rare Ford](https://jalopnik.com/5599712/how-i-convinced-fanboys-my-civic-was-a-rare-ford)** > > Honda owner Roger Grenon wasn't pleased with being turned away from snobby parking lot car shows. Determined, he transformed his lowly econobox Civic SI into a "rare Ford concept" and bluffed his way in. Here's how he did it. _"We’ve seen badge swaps before, but rarely has someone put as much effort as Canadian Roger Grenon has into transforming every identifying mark on his Civic SI._ “I was told that I was not allowed to enter my car into an “All Ford” Car Show so I made this up,” says Grenon." _"The main guy that was sponsoring the show was pissed off. I heard him say “we are not giving this car a f’ng award!”_ ![http://cache-01.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/07/07_ford.jpg](http://cache-01.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/07/07_ford.jpg) ---

I don’t know what’s more lame, going through the effort to do this or being dumb enough to fall for it. ---
