My wife wouldn't recognize a badge, it's the script sprawled across the back of the cars.. BTW, she still doesn't know they we have a Subaru..

Well, she is correct. There is only one kind of Porsche, with variants. The rest are big VW's with Porsche markings.

i dunno, sounds like you've got a winner to me. that is absolutely the only 911 anyone should be discussing anyways.

so good news/bad news. plymouth breeze badges don't seem to be available anymore. it was really just a '3d'/raised/bubble vinyl sticker on those cars

but it did lead my down a path of potential metal badges with the Duster and fury options, which cascaded into old pontiac and oldsmobile badges. road runner badges are too under-stated for what they are.

also started considering taking some Grand Prix and Grand Am badges and making a Grand Pm, couldn't find the right fonts for a Grand Sunfire, though i might have to talk to some vinyl people...

Wheel bearings can have no issues off of the car and spin freely with no resistance... and then once on the car they're definitely dead. There goes the weekend :/
