No1 is gonna pay a bubble caprice to promote BOA in a neighborhood where 1) there IS no BOA and 2) the people that live there can't get a bank account. Use your head people... it's a fad. Nothing more, I can't see any1 getting Royalties from General Mills for Apple Jacks logo.

When a sponsored car for a multi-million dollar company is done... it hits the show circuit - CES, SEMA, MAJOR events... not AutoZone local car show. Those cars are never driven by they owner --- those cars become slaves and per the contract have to make so many NATIONAL shows a year... the car lives in a trailer and is paraded around the country... often w/ the owner no where arounf. They are ALSO done by MAJOR designers/shops -- not "some1 you know around the corner".

I agree with what you are saying, No company that size will pay just anybody to promot their product. But the guy I was refering to retired his car back in 98 and it currently has a little over 3300 miles on it now. I know he went to a few FMF car shows and always brought home trophies. Dudes got an entire photo album full of pics from different events with different celebs and pics of him,his car,and his throphies at the events.
