    At least they aren’t riveting badges onto cars anymore I’ve heard that used to be super common during the 60s and 70s Personally I hate how my 56 bel air has a AAA of Syracuse screwed into the bodywork of my trunk so even if I remove it there’s still going to be a hole in my trunk so I’m personally pretty glad all this branding today are just decals and stickers that can easily be removed with a eraser wheel or plastic blades

      Woah that’s particularly egregious! I’m sure it seems like way more trouble than it’s worth, but nowadays maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to replace it with something cool. :)

      Like a metal 3D printed badge of some sort or something creative.

      I’m sure glad they don’t do that anymore though. The entitlement of forcing customers to be zombie advertisers is so disgusting.
