I personally wouldnt want to slap some big a$$ sticker on the side of my S... course thats just my take.

dwhale · 11-02-2009, 04:38 PM

I guess a removable magnet wouldn't hurt. Might be heavier than a sticker though.

Do you guys remember awhile back when you would see all those cars with those huge 2by2.net decals on the hood or side of their cars? haha lame

And just why, do you suppose, would any company want to pay you to put their name on your car while you what? Go'da pick up pizza? Sit in traffic?
You can usually identify someone with sponsorship by the number of scantily-clad lovliez jammin' in close fer flickz, the still wet champagne on'izz Nomex suit'n'da really big, so-shiny-dadd'itt-hurttz two-eared winner'z cup.
N' trust me onn'iss: those perkz weren't fer pickin' up pizza'r sittin' in traffic.

ive been sponsored for snowboarding, im pretty sure if your stewie was sponsored you'd have to fulfill obligations/responsabilities such as shows/events/daily mileage driven etc.etc.....good luck with that brutha.

I had a couple of sponsors when I was drag racing. One was for safety equipment and another was for speed parts. Probably saved me 2 or 3 thousand dollars a year. Only requirement was I had to take my car to a few car shows.

I get paid by the gym I workout in to autoX. She pays my entry fee ($50 a month) and I have magnets on my car with the gym name on them:

thanks for the input guys...

I've sponsored a couple race cars over the years.
One dirt track car, a couple drag cars and I once had all the space on http://www.billybigleyjr.com/billy bigleys hood.

It's advertising you can't measure, but hopefully it helped.

lovemyap1 · 11-03-2009, 01:39 PM

well the reason i ask is b/c a company called "sponsoredwhips" contacted me....so far it sounds interesting. no traveling for car shows/ or contract...

jagg · 11-03-2009, 02:03 PM

google "sponsoredwhips" and you'll see what kind of joke they are.

lonestarbuzz · 11-03-2009, 02:51 PM

you should do it, i don't see anything bad happening. you absolutely deserve to be sponsored.

i'm absolutely kidding.

Pwn Apetit · 11-03-2009, 05:50 PM

Apparently the guy who runs that whole thing is going to court for fraud. I'd say stay away....just a suggestion.

lovemyap1 · 11-03-2009, 07:55 PM

omg...really lol. that is why i am so glad i brought this up to you guys...
thanks for the addvice

A gay porn company wanted to sponsor me. I turned it down on the spot.

jake2k · 11-04-2009, 01:43 AM

I don't think it would be enough of a help with cash to justify slaping that sticker on. My buddy was about to be sponsoed but they were only going to give him 2k ,i think, and he had to order the parts from them of course but he had to pay the labor to get the part put on the vehicle and attend three shows for that year.

They get enough goofy kids slapping a the giant sticker that comes in the packaging of whatever they buy on the side of their cars to care to much about paying someone to wear their badge. Plus doing so just says 'hey guys if you break into my car you can get these products!'
