Default Stop With The C5 Emblems Already!

Hey guys, I want to ask something. Why the hell do people put C5 emblems on their Camaros and Tahoes? I dont get it. If I had a Camaro Id be proud of it. There are a lot of badass Camaros out there so why would you sport another cars symbol? I work out in Lynwood and I see that a lot, especially on trucks and Tahoes. WTF? I own a C5 and a Firebird so its not that Im parcial to vettes. I just dont get the emblem thing, IMHO its kinda gay. Dont want to offend anyone, I just dont get it. Is there something I dont know?

well i see what your saying and i totally agree.

but also, the chevy flags is a statment of performance, although only on vettes, its just a bad *** symbol.

but i agree, i see that **** all the time, like its getting out of hand, i see that on a cobalt ss, i mean damn that car should be z24 not an ss. but whatever. good thread, im sure we will get some people on both sides of the argument

I HATE THAT **** WITH A PASSION!!!!
I see it EVERYWHERE around my parents pad out in SFV.
3rd gens,
cadillacs,
gto's,
4th gens,
silverados,
sierras,
tahoes,
suburbans,
astro vans,
monte carlos,
cavaliers,
jeeps,
hondas,
nissans,
you names it, and i'm completely serious they are on every type of car you can find.

It's like they had a them on sale at the 0.99 store for 50% off!!! It annoys me to no end. If your poor *** wants a vette sooooo much, save your ******* money, end rant.
