Ok, I don't get this badge. Can someone explain it to me?

Also, nice parking brake, bro!

My other car is a Ferrari? Or wishful thinking.

Most certainly.

It's the Stuttgart coat of arms (which can be found at the centre of the Porsche logo too).

If it looks very similar to the Prancing Horse, that's because it might be the same. Ferrari mention that Enzo was asked to use it for good luck after meeting a famous Italian fighter pilot who used it on his plane, but what they don't mention is that the pilot might have got it from a plane he shot down... from Stuttgart.

Obviously the Jetta doesn't have a proper parking brake:

I just park mine in 1st. Because that e-brake handle is now mostly just for show.

That's what I thought, but it says Stuttgart. Then I looked up the Porsche emblem.

If it was the full crest I would've had no confusion.

Yeah, I needed to see the full emblem too. I just saw prancing horse and my brain registered Ferrari.

If you are gonna 'shop, please do it correctly.

You couldn't really do that with any other car maker's emblem and hope people will realize what is going on.

Emblem not centered on the badge.

The old fashioned way: buying a motorcycle helmet and standing next to a stranger's motorcycle outside a bar. Then suggesting we take a cab home, because it wouldn't be prudent for me to drive us home on the bike because I've had too many drinks.

Bingo.

And should I get called out the next day when I drive them back in the beater TDI, I have an out for that, too.

"I thought you drove a motorcycle?"

"Yeah, well I thought you were a natural redhead."

It is the crest of the city of Stuttgart where the owner resides.

Totally relevant logo, since Mercedes has their factory just outside Stuttgart.

Where they used to reside at least in this case.

Mercedes is also from Stuttgart.
