Not sure what his name adds... I do know he is being sued for $170 million for paternity.... guess he is hoping Captain Jirk will make those cars add value by a factor of 100

I've sometimes thought it would be fun to get a VW Phaeton, swap the badges for ones from a Passat, and see if anybody noticed.

I actually lived across the street from Shatner (and the house where the whole dead wife scandal happened) when I was little, up until I was 9 or so. I don't recall ever seeing anything in the way of interesting cars coming or going from his house, though. (And I would have noticed, because while I had pretty much no idea who Shatner was at that age, I was totally car-crazy.)
