Way back in 1992 I took a trip to Ensenada, Mexico with a friend of mine that it would be safe to say was a shopaholic. So we found ourselves in a shopping district that catered to suckers... er, tourists. The kind of place where the jewelers had to pour acid on cheap metal and then on their gold necklaces to prove they were real gold.

So we end up at a shop where sold Chanel purses. My friend looks at the shopkeeper and asks "Is this real Chanel"? To which he replies "It's real Mexican Chanel lady". Of course we both busted up and she bought the purse anyway because it was inexpensive and they did a pretty good job impersonating real Chanel.

Flash forward to yesterday... manufacturing a knock off automobile is pretty difficult and wouldn't be cost effective enough to motivate someone to buy one as they wouldn't save enough money to make it worth it. So it's pretty comical that the car in front of me at this particular intersection, as I was headed toward Billings, obviously just found a Mazerati emblem and attached it to his Chrysler. Sir, you are fooling NO ONE! He did however give me quite a chuckle and for that I thank this driver from the Evergreen State.
