Why Do People Remove Car Emblems When Buying a Car?

Removing car emblems when purchasing a vehicle is primarily due to personal psychological reasons, often stemming from a sense of embarrassment. Below are the relevant details: The function of car emblems: Car emblems refer to the logos of various automobile brands, mainly used for vehicle identification. These logos often serve as representations of automotive companies. Their purpose is to facilitate sellers, users, maintenance personnel, and traffic management authorities in identifying the vehicle's "identity." According to domestic regulations, these emblems must be inspected during new vehicle registration and annual inspections. Car emblems include the vehicle's trademark or manufacturer's logo, product label, engine model and serial number, vehicle model and serial number, as well as the vehicle identification code. Changing car emblems is not allowed: It is important to clarify that altering car emblems is prohibited. Once an emblem is changed, the vehicle is not permitted on the road. Moreover, if caught driving with a changed emblem, the driver will face fines and be ordered to restore the original emblem. Anyone who manufactures, sells, or uses trademarks without authorization infringes on the trademark holder's exclusive rights, violating trademark law. Therefore, although changing emblems is an individual act by the car owner, it remains illegal.

What is the world's number one car?

The world's number one car is the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Here is the relevant introduction about the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost: Introduction: There are two interpretations of the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Ghost' (Rolls-Royce-Silver-Ghost). The first refers to the 40/50HP series produced by Rolls-Royce between 1906 and 1926. The original model number of the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Ghost' was 40/50HP. Its chassis was initially produced at Rolls' factory in Manchester, began production in Germany in 1908, and was later produced at the Springfield factory in Massachusetts from 1921 to 1926. The second interpretation refers to a specific car within the 40/50HP series. Development: The car with chassis number 60551 and registration number AX201 later became known as the 'Silver-Ghost,' which is the origin of the 40/50HP being called the Silver Ghost. However, the manufacturer did not officially acknowledge this name until 1925 when the Phantom-I (first-generation Phantom) went into production, at which point the manufacturer formally referred to the 40/50HP series as the 'Silver Ghost.' Over the 20 years from 1906 to 1926, a total of 7,874 Silver Ghosts were produced. After its discontinuation, it was replaced by the first-generation Phantom.

Should You Drive a New Car Home Immediately After Purchase?

It is not mandatory to drive a new car home immediately after purchase. Whether you paid in full or through financing, you can leave the vehicle at the dealership and pick it up at your convenience. However, you must confirm vehicle details (such as the VIN) and purchase agreements with the dealership. If possible, it's advisable to drive it home yourself or arrange for someone to do so, as it is your own vehicle. Below are relevant details: Procedures: Before driving, you must obtain temporary license plates and insurance (compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance must be activated immediately and are mandatory). New Car Maintenance: New car maintenance refers to preservation techniques applied at the dealership, including treatments for paint, glass, tires, rims, leather seats, interior, air purification, and disinfection. These measures help maintain or restore the vehicle's technical performance, ensure optimal usability and reliability, extend its lifespan, and enhance safety. Automotive maintenance involves regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain components as preventive measures—also known as vehicle upkeep. Its purpose is to preserve appearance, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential risks, prevent malfunctions, slow deterioration, and prolong usage cycles.
