My credo
Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
Saw this sticker on a Mustang. Thought it had some familiarity to it
What's this?
 
Holy crap. Somebody copied Jim's logo. He can sue for copyright infringement. Yea! He's rich!

Doesn't work like that.

Similar but not a copy. If it was a Transmission Repair Service using the TRS logo it might be an issue.
 
Maybe consider looking them up and being like WTH dude? LOL
 
What if Jim actually copied that guys logo?


Does anyone remember when Pepsi lost a copywright case to a porn star”Sierra Mist”
And had to rebrand their soda to Starry or something?

Is Jim the Sierra Mist of ford rangers?

No, Jim was first. But I do remember that, lol
 
Pretty sure Jim's not a porn star... Can't actually verify...
 
This is one of those things that is going to drive me nuts - like insane because of OCD. that stylized 02 is from some famous cartoon but the first two that came to my mind:
Speed Racer (no that is the Mach 5, bearing the number 5) and
Herbie (bears the number 53).
... anyone who's even more of a 70s kid than me still have their marbles enough to remember?
 
Do you have more pictures of the mustang?

New Edge mustangs are pretty low, you don’t really see any with a side exit exhaust.
 
Pretty sure there was an 02 in some of the Dukes of Hazzard...

I have a nice video of it leaving a red light. and another of it leaving a parking lot after we talked for a few minutes.
 
So that video was telling. I think what we are looking at here is a "sticker bomb" not a real race car (like SCCA or IMSA - street legal vehicles in amateur clubs), but instead someone who just slapped 50 stickers on their vehicle thinking it made their car look cool. Probably has never raced once - which also comes out in how they drive on the road always rapping up the RPMs for no purpose.
I did spot IMSA stickers on the rocker panels just forward of the rear wheels. But IMSA stickers can be bought by anyone with an amazon account and a credit card.
As far as I can tell the number 02 was never used by a "really" famous racer in any series - it was used, it was used hundreds of times but dozens of racers just not a "Dale" level famous guy.
The thing that made me think this is a sticker bomb and not a real racer is too many elements from too many different series / clubs. It's closest to SCCA.
Nascar has the numbers forward of center on the door, right up against the jamb, and NO hood number (hood usually has the biggest sponsor logo).
None of the big series (Nascar, F1, etc) uses rear numbers - but SCCA and IMSA do.
And so on and so on.
Personally I think the guy made it look ugly as hell, I'd take a big fat wide white stripe down the middle of the hood/roof/trunk in classic Nascar style and a couple of coherent stickers from the same series over what this guy has done.
