It may work for a while, but every shop that gets NEGATIVE advertising eventually has problems. The professionals that give a damn will clamp down on it. If the business doesn't then the owner sucks. If I see a Hollyrock stickered truck tear down the track at an NHDRA event then I'll sit up and take notice and possibly talk to the owner/driver. When I see one tearing up the public road being a nuisance I just want to tell the driver that they are an asshat and I'd like to tell the business owner that many of his drivers are asshats. I can go further and decide to tell friends to avoid the business because the client base is a bunch of asshats and the trucks tend to run rich, smelly, and sooty wasting fuel. Such could be my opinion based on getting smoked out by a few douchebags. Would that be wrong? To some yes, to others it is justified as that is a perception earned through experience and others obviously share some negative perception of the Hollyrock name thanks to the actions of a few. I can easily badmouth the shop and help them lose business. It's not what I plan to do. My beef rests with a few of their clients right now. SMC cycles lost of a ton of business due to negative word of mouth. How did that work out for them?

Yeah, isn't there a beauty shop where they used to be?

That escalated quickly!

At least nobody is bragging about their modified Prius in here.

I still don't know whether the stickers belong to customers or employees; I figure both.

Many decades now, when I was a young karate student, our sensei told us "when you go out in public, you represent the dojo, especially when you have bumper stickers, t-shirts, and the like. For good or for ill, what you do reflects on all of us, so behave, or I kick your ass."

That's a good question. I shop at Walmart but don't have a 4 foot Walmart banner on my car.

I know someone that must really love AMP energy drink, they have their car all pimped out in AMP stickers.

I like the Walmart banner idea, how about a Fatboy with flagpole and an 8 ft Walmart flag trailing behind?

And before you try and tell me about my man card, understand my Neon was good for about 360whp and more torque in a 3200lb package. Should have een good for high 12s, fast enough for most folks I got no power envy, sold that a few years back, but still loved it then. 20psi on 100 octane was a blast. Now, maybe you'er one of these dicks who thinks that there's only one way to enjoy vehicles, in which case I pity your short sighted ass. Can TD trucks be fast, sure can, and more power to those who enjoy them, most would be faster than my Neon, or my SRT-8. But to belittle someones manhood because they don't drive some seven liter burner seems to say more about your own manhood:)

Modded SRT-4's are no joke. In the late 80's my uncle's bro-in-law had an Omni GLHS.

Shelby GLHS

1986 Shelby Dodge Omni GLH-S


This edition of the Muscle Car Showcase highlights the 1986 Shelby Dodge Omni GLH-S. In 1986, Carroll Shelby and Dodge conceived one of the most peculiar muscle cars to come out of the 1980s. Dubbed the GLH-S, this small sedan could outperform just about anything that called itself a muscle car in 1986. Ferrari…Porsche…BMW…forget about ‘em. This compact beast could go toe-to-toe with them any day of the week.

Thanks to what feels like a V-12 under the hood, the Shelby in sedan clothing will knock the stuffing out of most of the V-8s on the road. It zips to 60 in a mere 6.5 seconds, then keeps right on charging to a 130-mph terminal speed. The athletic GLHS has the legs of a sprinter and the wind of a miler. Tony Assenza, Car and Driver, April 1986

JFC!!! You are missing the point, it's one thing to have a small sticker on your car meaning you bought it or had it serviced at said establishment. But, when you have a decal on the back of your truck that takes up the WHOLE DAMN WINDOW! I have a strong feeling that you WORK for said establishment.

That is exactly what my passengers and I thought when the jerk was weaving through traffic Saturday morning. Making a comparison to Harley Davidson or Toyota indicates someone is running out of excuses for their moronic friends (or relatives).

Modded SRT-4's are no joke. In the late 80's my uncle's bro-in-law had an Omni GLHS. We were visiting my uncle in Landsdale, PA and the in-law stopped by with the GLHS. I thought the car was cool so I got a ride. We ended up on stretch of road with traffic lights. A then new 5.7 IROC Camaro pulled next to us at a red light. Tom (GLHS driver) looked over and revved a little. The IROC owner chuckled and shook his head. Tom got the boost up and tore off when the light turned green. We smoked the IROC. The driver looked pissed when he caught up at the red light. We went one more time and won, the Camaro driver turning left at the Chevrolet dealership. From then on I learned what the right car with the right driver could do. Tom had a Shelby Lancer after that and his brother had a Spirit RT at one point. Both were pretty quick for a turbo 4 back then. One of them also had a turbo Acclaim that was special but I have no clue what was up with it.
