Default Question for all Ruby Owners......

I have looked at alot of Rubies over the years and have never seen the 40th badge like what is on my dash.. I had a person tell me that all employees that ordered a Ruby had this badge, yet never seen another one???????? I the sales person at the dealership that sold my father this Ruby said that a VP had the badge installed...
Seems like I need to be more clear here..... The guy that told me employees got the badge worked for GM and is a big Corvette fan and owner.

Has anyone else seen this badge in a Ruby or any 93???
Dan

I've looked at several Rubies as well but have never seen that badge. Looks cool though. Wonder where I can get one for mine? You might post your question on the 40th Registry site as well if you haven't already.

Long time ago I did with no response... I figure this forum would get more replies.

That badge is awarded to those who can sit through at least 40 minutes of a Detroit Lions game without slitting their wrists.

Oh come on Daniel... just because you were special enough to ride the short bus doesn't mean you have to make your car equally as special!!! A sticker doesn't make you special kind sir... it is who you are that makes you special... didn't your momma ever tell you that before you got on the short bus in the morning???

There, Dan... feel the love?


BTW, just messing man!

I've had my ruby vert for close to 5 years now. Not only do I not have that on my dash, I've never seen one in the past 5 years that I've been looking at these cars.

Interesting.....
