I'll take a punt here, but I'm going to guess that the OP is possibly a Yank ?
Looking at the photo, although it doesn't have the USA spec reflectors, he would have had to get out of the car into the bushes/trees if it was RHD. Also, the atrocious spelling, lack of capitalisation and terminology above suggests this. (i.e "my mom" and "trucks"). Also use of 'a' and not 'an' before a vowel.... (Not to mention the 'Gun-ho' introduction !!)
Am I correct ?

There was a full description why there is a stylised representation a a generic Z4 lookalike - I seem to recall it was due to a BMW copyright infringement.

If it is I suppose the "Yank" comment will be like calling a Cockney - Jock! :rofl:
