This car was built a year before the Deepwater Horizon incident. Bet Ford was regretting this sponsorship deal pretty hard. This raises an interesting question : would you buy an “ad supported” car with stuff like this plastered on various parts if it meant the car could be $1-2k cheaper?

That's not the familiar name that the general public would recognize it as.

The industry prefers to refer to it as that, for some reason.

Wow, even in our banking discussions about Deepwater Horizon specifically, I’ve never heard that term.

REMEMBER TEXAS CITY!

My car has "BMW recommends Castrol" written on the valve cover.

Id want 15-20k off, since it will be a perpetual advertisment for years and years.

I would only advertise for Martini or Malboro or Gulf or any of the companies that have racing liveries though.

$1000-2000 sounds nice, but I’m not sure it is even worth that much to advertisers even if you car gets the full NASCAR treatment. I can’t imagine BP paid much at all for that placement (even before you subtract out the cost of color printing the logo).

Don’t we already have that with dealerships sticking their name on the back of our cars? Thankfully mine didn’t get that treatment for some reason, but it would have been the r emoved the second I got home if it did.

Its not a common occurrence in car-crazy SoCal, but some places have tried. I remember watching my dad buy a car several decades ago and asking the salesman his much they were going to pay him (my dad) for advertising for them. They wisely pulled that crap of off of his car before delivery...

Oil covers often have “ recommendations” from oil brands. French cars used to have little Window decals on the back, I think Elf was recommended by Renault and Total by PSA.

Because calling it the Deepwater Horizon disaster implies Transoceanic takes all the blame (since they owned the rig). Source: my dad is a lawyer who was involved in the litigation.

My Audi doesn’t have it on the gas cap, but the owners manual recommends Shell.
