The intention of this poll is the "narrow scope". Maybe I should re-word the poll to read right or wrong instead of cool or not cool. I agree that any person can put whatever they want on their own vehicle so that is not in question. You're either a "poser" or not. I'm not and my personal opinion of those that are does not matter right now. You either think it's okay to lie or you don't.I don't think the argument was over whether it was cool or not cool. This poll is too narrow in it's scope.
I never said it was "cool", but I was one of the ones advocating that it's a person own business whatever they want to put on their car, call their car, etc. and unless they tried to fraud someone in a sale it was "OK" with me.

This is exactly what I wanted to avoid...DEBATE. You claim calling an upbadger a poser or liar is "middle school" so tell me....what is the label of the persons that try to personify something they do not own into something that is deemed to be worth more in money and performance. here's another analogy.... Do you think you or any other person could ride a Honda motorcycle with a Harley emblem in place of the Honda emblem into Sturgis without getting the s**t kicked out of you? Probably not because most people do not agree with displaying something that is not true. This poll is for the masses of this forum to voice their opinion on whether they agree with upbadging or not. The fact that you live in the USA allows you to voice your opinion so take the poll if you choose and do your debating on the other thread.I think the fact you chose "cool" or "not cool" speaks volumes.
You guys just can't get past the point of feeling you need to judge these people that upbadge. Calling them names like "poser" and "liars" is so middle school. Just get over it. Nothing they are doing has any impact on you personally AT ALL. The fact that you are upset with what someone else does to their car should scream the need for introspection.
My personal feeling is that upbadging is probably not a "cool" thing to do, UNLESS the person doing the upbadging likes his car better that way. Then, it is very cool to them, and that's all that really matters. And it doesn't devalue or make me feel bad for owning my R/T Classic one iota, because I'm secure in who I am, and the car I own.
At least my narrow little world is not fake and pretend.I've said enough, and voiced my opinion on the other thread about upbadging being "OK".
Have your little narrow minded poll, and I'll choose not to participate since it doesn't have a field that applies.
Anything that makes each of you feel more comfortable in your narrow little worlds.
Exactly, but point lost on the people here that somehow feel they've been personally affected by someone that puts fake badges on his own car, and the structure of this poll plays to that mindset.If "yes, it's cool" translates to " I really don't care what someone does with their car", it's cool.
