:) That's amazing!
When I got my truck, I told them not to put their logo on it. The
sales guy didn't seem enthused about it, and gave me a strange look,
but they left it off.
I suppose it does give them some advertising, though I don't know what
good it does other than to show their "market share". I almost feel bad
about making them leave it off, but I figure that if I'm paying around
20 grand for this thing, I'm entitled to decide wether or not people can
stick stuff to my paint...
