Cause why drive a SHEEP when U can drive a wolf.

I de badge every car I owned since 1980, called my design. I make my own path.

My 2002 Chevy HD lost its badges/stickers soon as I brought home.

Only sheep need to see that 4X4 sticker, REAL folks already KNOW what truck it is.

i would respectfully disagree with the sheep idea. actually, wouldnt all the same trucks with no markings make them "sheep"? i mean trucks have different engines and even different badges depending on years or 1500-2500-3500.

Dirt builds up around the emblems and the double sided tape they’re held on with. And you’re drying towel can pick it up and scratch the paint.
Also people that don’t know have no way of finding out what you drive. For all they know with no badges they think you’re riding a unicorn

I usually de-badge right away as well. I don't know if I agree with the wolf vs sheep theory in this particular scenario, but I do like the clean lines, minimal chrome, and a little bit of mystery.

Every dealer that puts a plate or sticker on I say remove the destination charge. When they say no I walk the price down for advertising for them. Usually good to knock a grand off the price and I peel it before I pull off the lot anyway if it’s an easy one.

Good man. Unless they are paying you to advertise it’s gone.

the dealer i have been buying from has treated me rather well i think, their service dept sucks but the sales is decent. i drive almost 2 hrs one way for purchases and about 2 hrs the other direction for service. however, havent got any deals that made me keep their plates or stickers on my rides.

Since my truck has a pap cap and I tell people it’s a station wagon all the time. I just say I removed the wood grain down the side and put big tires on.
My Ram emblem in a muted flag so people think it’s a patriot wagon

When I bought my work truck (service van) they finance guy kept coming out and dropping the price. I couldn’t figure it out I thought to myself what am I doing right? Every time this dude comes out the price goes down another $800 I left with a $56,000 truck for $38,000 their sticker is still on it. I said waive the destination charge because I didn’t ask for you to bring this here and the guy said I can’t but I can knock off $995 I was thinking in my head that I was joking but definitely wasn’t stopping them. LOL

thats awesome. haha. when i bought mine i got it during RAM TRUCK MONTH, had some sweet deals. had to join sams club and got another $1000 off. then i got $1000 off for my brother being employed by fedex. just was a sweet deal at the time. im currently looking to get another one, not a fan of newer body style so looking for a 4th gen w low miles. one i can drive unlike my other one.
