I have thousands and thousands more in boxes in the cabinet. I always give them away to friends, family, neighbors, the neighborhood kids and give them away to kids at the swap meets and car shows.OMG - That's what heaven must look like! LOL... love it

I don't apply them to my cars. Just around the garage. I don't like to advertise on my vehicles. In fact, I peel off logos/decals, grind off logo's on castings and weld/fill in logos if machined in, etc.LOL! I have an addition to those dang things... nice to know I'm not alone...

That is the first thing I did when I get home from a dealer with a newer vehicle is de-badge the dealership emblems and remove their license plate frames. That brings up another point. Back when my 96 Ram was under warranty and I would take it back to the dealership, they would stick their badges back on my vehicle and add their license plate frames to my vehicle. I would tell them everytime not to add them. Yet, they still did. Finally, the last time I refused to pay the bill until they removed them back off my vehicle. Which they did.This debate has cropped up several times in the modelling and RC car hobby. For me, a sticker is sticky; it's an image that is adhesive. A decal is like those water-slide decals in model kits.
RC cars typically have stickers applied to the bodies, while plastic models have water-slide decals applied.
One of my pet peeves is stickers on ANYTHING. I hate 'em. When I special-ordered my 1998 Dakota years ago, I had the dealership remove all the "Dakota" and "Sport" stickers, it looked a lot cleaner without them. And most of the time when you try to remove stickers, parts or most of them get stuck behind as residue, which you need to remove too.
You see all these ricers with those sticker-bars behind the front fenders of all the parts that are probably NOT installed on the car, but each of those stickers adds 1 - 2 horsepower, easy.
