I present my Subaru Outback 3.0R. It’s not particularly fast, it’s (really) not cool, but...

Just remove them. It only takes a few minutes. 

I don't mind brand badges, I dislike all of the badges that tell you the features of the car, "PZEV," "4X4," "HYBIRD," etc, etc. I have 2 of those on my car in addition to the brand badges and it kind of annoys me.

What's funny is that he's claiming to have gone to school about the same time I did ('94 vs' 95). Bummed to see that someone else close to my age is a clueless asshole. 

I love the fact that, just because you're debating with him, you are automatically a millennial. I needed a good laugh.
