    the one that makes me irrationally angry is the used car dealership advertising. like the decals are annoying, but the license plate covers/border things that people don’t take off.

    like do you really want to be advertising chuck and donna’s used car emporium every time you drive your car?

      Thats always the first thing that I do when I come home. The license plate cover comes off, the stickers come off the back window, and I tey to take the branding on the metal off without hurting the paint. If they want me to advertise they can take a grand off the price.

        Woah there! A grand for a license plate cover!?

        Don’t sell yourself so short. You need continuous value, like free oil changes or labor discounts.

          Agreed. I said “don’t put any dealership badges on my car but put a stack of business cards in the glove box” and I gave them all out within a year.
