Im sorry , have i fallen asleep, woken up in a 3rd world country and we have a dictator of car badges ruling what is right and wrong?

Each to their own, you own the car/ - you can put any badge on it you like.. unless it is a chev badge on a commondore. = i palm face emotionally.. but dont question them.- their decisions.

Well sort of on topic, I have a gripe with lowered way too low cars. I just think it looks dumb. Especially dunger cars on their last legs with the chopped spring look. Somehow it just doesn't look cool to me. Normally lowered like GT suspension is great. My missus bought me an Autobot badge for my car about 3 years ago. It never made it onto the car.

If you have seen those stickers around bendigo area, they are for a young girl who passed away last year and her number plates were "TTEEZN"

Hi Guys, I don't like stickers at all on cars, jetpilot, unit etc... but that said you can get a laugh sometimes. I walked past a car a Bunnings carpark the other day that had a 'My Family' sticker. Kind of! It was a family of stick figures running away from a Dr Who 'Daleks' with 'Exterminate' underneath.............priceless!

Could it be because cars of today look like they've been designed by Disney/Pixar/Hasbro.

Unlike cars of 30-35 years ago when they had character.

We are doing it wrong. We should come up with a sticker idea, market it on cars and eventually people will want it. They will appear everywhere. Like my family or frangipani stickers. There's a small fortune to he made until someone steals your idea and starts making their own.

I see those Transformer stickers too.....I guess it's an international thing. But like others have said, to each their own. If it makes them happy, then go for it.

A lot of the Japanese import cars here have this green and yellow arrow point sticker on their car somewhere. I'm not into that scene so I don't know what they think it means, but in Japan, that sticker means "noobie driver and inexperienced." It literally warns other drivers that the driver of that car is inexperience and unskilled so be careful. Newly licensed drivers in Japan have to have that sticker for 1 year. So it's nothing to be proud of or used the way cars here use it. Go figure.........

Are they in AU too?

Ok Honest opinion guys, I bought this rig a few months back and I'm kinda hoping the badge on the tailgate doesn't put me into the My Family sticker oxygen thiefs who are pretty much the new Volvo category. That or the transformers sticker group is also un acceptable.

While I wouldn't put one on my car, I have no problem with them. People are way too uptight about what other people are doing with their money on their car. Its a pointless mod that doesn't do anything, but its all just for a bit of fun, which is something a lot of people have forgot how to have thesedays.

Sure seems that way - people ask when I'm going to get my first tat and my answer is never which totally bewilders them. Some even say I've got to get one bc everyone has ink. Uhh no thank you is what I tell them. Which means, Nik's a rebel!

I just met an older woman who showed us her 2 tats and a pierced tongue. Imagine our surprise because, well, just because. She's looking to get more soon too!
