Ack Attack Post 44: Branding and Debadging

All cars come with the brand and type of the car on the exterior. There are different emblems that you can buy if you want to add them to the car. Some people are tacky enough to glue an emblem on the dash to show their "car pride". If you get your car painted, it is generally debadged, meaning the emblems are taken off in order to paint. Some people like to debadge their cars so that other people will not know what they are driving. Some people put extra emblems on their car to show off. If there are additional emblems in the grille, it still looks alright, but in my opinion, they shouldn't go on the back with the stock emblems. When people take off their badges and put better ones on (ie. put on a 3.0L emblem to a 2.2L car), that is just WRONG. False advertisement is ridiculous and makes the car and the driver look stupid when an opponent beats them in a race when their car is slower than presented. Keep the stock badging, if you have to paint the car, replace the badging. There is no need for the stealthy unmarked car or the car that's a hoax.
