CAR SNOB!!!! i can easily see how you could be like that. an M3 really isnt a big deal since there are so many, but i completely understand. still, looks like a badass job

It's clearly intentional, obviously the bugger doesn't have a clue so BillLe's having a spot of fun with the boffin. Next thing you know he'll be driving a lorry, and Bob's your uncle.
