Saw this the other day while walking on campus... couldn't believe someone tagged that a$$... I wonder if it adds horsepower though?

OMG!
I can't imagine driving around with that on my rear-end...

OR...

Maybe it's the dealer's son/daughter and he/she gets to drive it under the condition that the sticker stays on to be a rolling ad...

Probably good for a few ponies,

At least it's just a vinyl sticker, one guy posted some pics recently that showed a dealer tag riveted to his @$$... now thats gotta suck.

I've seen a lot of out of state cars with those stick on dealer tags but I've never seen a California dealer do it. Only the hokey dealer plate frames.

Sinful....

I've asked this before and nobdy knew the answer. I can't find the answer myself anywhere. Is there a law in California that prohibits dealer tagging? I have never once seen a California dealer logo on a car, only out-of-state cars. Whether there is or not, at least this state has done something right.

That's bad.

Did you guys see the one where the guy has a plate bolted on his from the stealership? Now that was horrible for them to do ... I think it was in NY?

It is probably owned by an older Professor who is not "with it"-see if there is a Motor Club or AARP decal on the car, if so he needs to know it's not a chick magnet! Try and help him out if you can.

Mine had one when I bought it, right in the center by the middle brake light. It was stuck on like the other badges, and I removed it with no damage. Apparently it hadn't been on very long.

Bad thing is that it was put on there in the first place. Good thing is that it should be easy to remove. One of the first things I did to mine was remove the dealer tag - thankfully they use vinyl decals.
