    Funny to see this, because I haven’t bought a vehicle in a long time, but I had the EXACT same thought.

    I grimace every time I see that hideous “CarMax - - -” decal stuck to the actual car body.

    Same with license plate frames that are like “Huge ‘Dicky’ Richard’s Auto Circus Emporium Honda Jeep Lexus - We rub you right!

    At least those just tell me “the driver is likely lazy or can’t identify a screwdriver.” But an actual decal? Yeah they better take it off, and discount me if they scratch it in the process. :p

    Obnoxious, man.

      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
