Mark, I liked your point...I agree that the element of surprise can be even more fun than "bragging," and hadn't really considered that point of view.

Anyway, I respect your opinion...I just like my badges where they are. :) Best, Devin Mark A Williams wrote: > > I'd have to disagree - I like the addition of the VR6 badge on the > front >grill of the newer GLX models.
