Have you considered how much free advertising you've given away?
And what do you get in return?

For instance we may buy something (say a set of wheels) and the wheels are great and service good. Why advertise for them for free? They did their job in giving you good service.


Do we now EXPECT sucky service? And in receiving good service are so surprised by it, that we sing the praises of a shop that did their damn job?

What I object to are things like K&N, Redline, Hypercoil, etc stickers for companies that haven't done a thing except take my money.

You mean those people I see driving pickups around here with K&N stickers in their back windows aren't sponsored??? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Exactly. Acknowledging and promoting people that help me in some way and/or provide a service I want to support (and therefore keep available) is fine.

Bragging about the parts I've bought and/or "making it look like a race car" is just too "ricey".

Except, of course, for that one sticker I need to cover a hole (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
