Default Quite an embarrassing moment
So another usual day to work via a canyon road except something caught my eyes today. I saw a GTR about 3 cars behind and i shamelessly got "excited" cause i dont see GTRs very often.

I only got to see glimps and parts of the car on turns and i couldnt help but to look at it every time i can. I finally got the chance to see the GTR more clearly after the 2 cars behind exited the canyon road...

Then it struck me, the "GTR" has foglights and the headlights dont look like the headlights on a GTR. Turns out the car i thought was a GTR was actually a Charger with a custom bumper

Do you mean the Dodge Charger? Cuz the Challenger looks nothing like the GT-R. The Charger though looks similar from very far away.

you should've known it was a Dodge and not a Nissan when you noticed it didn't catch up and pass you after 1 single corner, let alone multiple canyon turns

It's like baseball - three embarrassing moments and you are out. So you are still good. Keep swinging.

the GTR would've passed through the truck

GTR drivers know ways around such meager obstacles

Nah man no lie, this happened to me too last week while drivin home. You can get the 2012 srt-8 painted up like a gt-r, plus with those fender swoops, I mistook it for a gt-r from afar as well. wheels look similar as well. The domestics are finally coming around to what looks sexy
