I saw a Mazda with one of these after seeing a Jeep that said Jeep on the back window.

Yeah ... I know it is a Jeep/Mazda. It already says it on there. My favorite was the debadged Passat with a the huge VW in the back window.

Another pet peeve of mine. Vanity plates that also state the make or model of the car they are on.

The best one I saw was one that said: "MY JAG".

That's funny, I didn't recall owning a jag, but I sure as hell took possession of the car.

I dislike the Harley riders wearing Harley shirts, vests, jeans, chaps, boots, underwear...we know what you're riding. why the superfan gear

I dunno I sure did love my giant Chevy Bow-Tie on the back window of my first truck (long gone though I wish I had it back)

Kinja'd!!!

That's a good one. Also I don't need to see most Harley rider's underwear.

Harley seems like a life style choice. Yes I'd like a motorcycle with a poorly designed engine and revolve my whole identity around it.

Oh and this bugs me more, when the person puts their jetski/boat/snowmobile brand on their truck:

This is also dumb.

At least it is not as redundant as another Ford logo would be.

Oh but it kills me I want to pull up next to them and go "IT'S A FORD, NOT A YAMAHA JACKASS"

I've seen this with everything from Mastercraft Boats to Harley...oh wait, Ford puts that on there....

LOL yup.

Taking this truck over 100 mph proved the dumb, and I was young when I did.

I have "Land Rover Best 4x4xfar" on the back of mine, that's mainly to troll Jeep/LC owners when I'm pulling them out of the mud trololololol.

I went over 100 in my first Chevy. It was on the highway and there were 2 minivans in front of me and one behind.

Hehehehe, also apart from the US it was Land Rovers marketing slogan for decades and Landies came with the stickers.

Edit: actually the stickers came with the Landies, not the other way round...

And now that I think about it, Land Rover enthusiasts cover their trucks with Land Rover badges because they're tried of people calling them Jeeps.

I was on the highway in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania (rt 80) I had just gotten ahead of the snow storm and there was NO ONE on the road.

Was a very heavily modified 4.3L though...

Nibbles > CalzoneGolem
01/16/2014 at 09:55

My Dakota had MOPAR, K&N, PBR (Pro Bull Riders), an American flag or two, and some other random stickers on it when we purchased. They're all gone now, save the one "OFF ROAD", in Dodge lettering, poorly placed, that won't come off without damaging the paint.

Can't wait to get my hands on some goof off. Barring that, I think I have some mineral spirits laying around somewhere

Tell me more about this 4.3L

CalzoneGolem > Nibbles
01/16/2014 at 09:58

I might have an issue with stickers being on things in general. The first thing I did with my wife's lappy was to boot it up and pull all the Microsoft/Amd stickers off while I waited.

HAPPY TO!

bored 60 over, ported heads, upgraded valves and roller rocker arms, exhaust was done. The manifold and TBI unit were left stock tho I almost upgraded to an edelbrock and a holley TBI unit they sold at the time which would have almost doubled CFM. This truck was like pouring gas on the ground as is though for MPG so we left that alone.

Rebuilt the trans in it, rear diff. Built the whole motor from scratch, I got the truck when I was 14 and you don't get a license until 17 in NJ (where I was at the time). So I built it with my dad at his shop. To the point where I remember taking the push rods over to the wire wheel to clean/polish them before they went back in. Motor was immaculate when we finished.

I miss this truck terribly and would buy it back if given the chance.

I can get it. If you really like a brand, you want to show it.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I can't hate too much.

I personally would love one of the MOVE OVER ——> stickers, but I don't want cop bait

Kinja'd!!!

Sidenote: I saw someone take a Ford Raptor through an automated car wash...with a snowmobile in the back. It was genius. He also had some aftermarket exhaust that sounded epic

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Jayhawk Jake
01/16/2014 at 10:09

Hahahaha nice.

That's pretty clever, but a ballsy move in case it damaged the snowmobile, though I suppose after the first successful run through, your home free.

God I love a good exhaust. Maybe I'll start up the Montego again this weekend to listen to it's glory.

Casper > CalzoneGolem
01/16/2014 at 10:09

Agreed. I don't really understand this either. Although, I almost got a vanity plate with my model in it, but it would have been a play on the engine swap I did. That was before I realized it was still tacky, I would be paying extra to the DMV to be tacky, and it would advertise I had an engine swap to any government bureaucrats who might want to inspect my car.

That one would depend if he's a sponsored racer for Yamaha and that was his tow rig. I see people around here a lot with race branding on their trailers and trucks because if they do it, the sponsor will give them even more free stuff.

In that case, that guy might actually be the one laughing all the way to the bank.

01/16/2014 at 10:14

Having a good sounding exhaust is amazing. I'm so glad I upgraded mine, the last few days have finally been nice enough to have the windows open and it sounds good.

efme > CalzoneGolem
01/16/2014 at 10:14

what if the vanity plates state the HP?

liike 600whp

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Casper
01/16/2014 at 10:15

OK, if he's legit sponsored I approve 100% and would do the same thing.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Jayhawk Jake
01/16/2014 at 10:17

I haven't shut the windows or turned on the radio in the Montego since the exhaust was upgraded. What did you do for exhaust and on what?

Have I shared the Montego's roar with you before?

CalzoneGolem > efme
01/16/2014 at 10:17

If that's the stock hp then you're an idiot.

Casper > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
01/16/2014 at 10:21

Yeah, that's the key, is whether he's actually sponsored or like 99% of Subaru drivers out there with Monster logos on their cars.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Casper
01/16/2014 at 10:26

Or the jackass around the corner from me that has Monster logos all over his V6 charger? And I mean ALL OVER. Like removed the Dodge logo in the grille to put in a Monster one.

01/16/2014 at 10:34

I haven't heard the montego.

I have a catback on my Sonic. It's nothing special, but it sounds good for a 4 banger with less displacement than a jug of milk

(Beginning is stock, end is catback)

sarcastomancer > CalzoneGolem
01/16/2014 at 10:36

Yes,they are tacky....But for some strange reason,I always thought they kinda worked on old Trans Ams,as long as you had the louvers on the rear window,screaming chicken on the hood,and the big fat white-letter Radial TA tires.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Jayhawk Jake
01/16/2014 at 10:44

Surprisingly deep throaty sounds from that tiny little motor. Sounds like a rev limiter was driving you insane too lol.

Beginning is single exhaust, at about 45 seconds you hear what the true glory of Super 44 Flowmasters sound like. I'd heard Super 40s and 40's before, I didn't know the Super 44's would be THIS GOOD. As you can tell, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Jayhawk Jake > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
01/16/2014 at 10:50

Wow, that sounds fantastic

I wasn't having rev limiter issues, I just didn't want to rev very high. The car won't let you rev over 4500 RPM in neutral anyways.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Jayhawk Jake
01/16/2014 at 10:54

Thank you!

Oh ok I gotcha. I've tried revving up the Milan and hit the limiter wall and I'm like "Damn you!" haha.

I don't personally have this but didn't mind it. i guess you're OK if its modded WHP.. not stock whp.
