If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

Has Ford owner I can tell you debadging a Ford won't stop anyone knowing its a Ford. They design it specifically so you don't need the emblem. Hell it fades off on most trucks and cars in a few months.

What I remove is any mention of the dealership. That I will advertise for.

I'm usually anti dealer badges, but when we bought our Accord, the dealer said if we kept the dealer license plate frame on, we'd get free car washes for life. We took advantage of that many times. Seemed a fair trade to me.

That is fair. You get recompensated for providing ad space.

How would you even debadge a modern Ford truck? All the ones I've seen have FORD in massive letters on the front.

I blacked all mine out with plastidip, at least the ones I couldn't remove without leaving a massive spot open and look even worse

Go a step farther and get more letters off of cars in the junk yard. Then stick them on your POS spelling out “found on road dead” or “fix or repair daily” (dead WRXs are helpful for the latter).

99% of the time I HATE advertising, however in this circumstance I can't relate, I love my Kia Soul and I really like how down to earth the old Kia logo was. More importantly it feels like a part of Sir-hops-a-lot's personality that id be removing and I don't want that.
(yes, I have named and personified it a bit so I'm not really the average customer lol)

beep beep frog car incoming!

nyooom! 🐸

I do agree on clothing, if it's not funny (apparently there's a brand named 'lorem ipsum' that makes shirts) or like a YouTubers merch or experience (ex. a museum tshirt I have), I don't understand why you would pay extra.

Especially the most basic bitch stuff out there, manufactured by foreign slave labor. Idk, it’s all dumb.

supreme is the supreme example of this tbh
