Not sure who want to drive around with a dealer sticker on the back referring to their car as a "Gay Pontiac"

GM is a big ole piece of garbage. I will never own another, always have had GM and never will again..
Also- My olds is the same car as a grand am and Malibu(GM N class cars)- all are pieces of crap, all its done for me is made my mechanic rich. the 3,4 liter SFI v6 engines are..........unprintable here.
I can NOT wait to rid myself of the GM disease and go Ford finally. Will January EVER get here?

He's not making it up either. LMAO
I think you'd be hard pressed to go to a dealer that wouldn't do that. They want advertisement on their car man.

When I bought my '95 Taurus SHO, I asked the dealer to not put a dealer badge on it but they did it anyway. I won't even shop that Ford dealer anymore.

I gotta agree on GM. I owned a Buick once (the operative word there is "once"). It literally disintegrated. Parts were falling off of it left and right. That was a number of years ago and maybe GM quality has gotten better but I'm not willing to lay down any cash to find out. :nono:

I 100% agree -- get rid of ALL dealer ads...
[a] Dealership sticker logo - if you don't take it off right away, it'll fade your paint behind it and then you can never take it off
[b] License frame - why would you keep their ad just because they're nice? It's your car and you should make it look good! This means NO advertising for free, unless the dealer pays you $10 a month. If you do not care about the style or look with the dealer frame, then go buy a Toyota Camry to be like everyone else.

How are those badges attached? Are the stuck on, or do they put a hole in your trunk?

i think it all depends on how you treat the car. my dad has had a 1989 chevy celebrity station wagon since 1989, and it is still running perfect. it has never had any major problems.

There is good and bad for all brands of autos. Some claim they're GM runs forever with no problems and then there will be others who say there is nothing but problems with them. It will be like that for all brands.

Door trim popping loose or exhaust systems literally falling off the car in the driveway have nothing to do with how well you treat a car. I take very good care of my cars and the Buick (an '82 BTW) was the only one that had problems like that. Maybe I had a lemon.
I've owned Fords since then (with the exception of one Acura) and they've all been extremely reliable and well built. Maybe I've been lucky with the Fords but until the luck runs out, I'm sticking with them!

I have seen dealers that drilled holes in the front bumpers of all their stock Mustangs just to put them gay plastic dealer tags on them. Imagine how annoying that is if you live in a state that doens't require front tags.

Some people actually like the dealer stickers. They are proud of the dealership they deal with and display the badge like a team logo. We have customers actually come in and ask us to put them on.
Of course, if someone doesn't want them we leave them off. Usually if they are left on by mistake, it is an $8 an hour clean up guy who forgets to take them off, not some great conspiracy to get free advertising.

Guess whos back.... (me)
I don't know lately I can't help but root for GM for two reasons
1. I got about the same performance I would have with an 05' GT for about 20k less.
2. I got to tool around in somebody elses current gen V6 for a few days... Fit and finish were terrible, not to mention teh Camaro kills it on leg room and a couple other things performance not withstanding.
3. BOSE > Mach anything The little tweeters in the window corners... come on, those were stock on my uncles 5.slo
Wow... That was off topic too anywho. With the LS2 coming out and the rumored chevelle in a couple years it looks like the same old battle again. Camaros (Chevelle?) for power and mullet appeal, stangs for more creature comforts..

Yep, no dealer stickies on my car...unless they give me the GAG value for advertising...which driving one of the major roadways in the Chicagoland area four times a day, five days a week (thats a total of 10 hours a week of commute time) would cost 'em about $400 a month, but thats my rate
So, any dealer looking to get the word out in suburban Chicago about your dealership, please e-mail me B)
