I mean, KOONS? Really? And their logo they want to put on the back of your car is ridiculous.



POHANKA? At least they don't have a ridiculous logo that I have seen. Why not have just a nice logo that says Bethesda or Rockville or Tysons why does it have to be some ridiculous name?

The first thing I do when I buy a car is take off the ugly license plate holder advertising the dealer. POHANKA.COM 555-555-5555!!!!. Why people leave all that on a $40,000 car is beyond me.

But I have never wanted to rip off the emblem as well. I hope they come off easy!

In KC, you have decent names like "State Line" That's about as crazy as it gets. Sometimes the name of a suburb. One of them I actually like. They are called Northtown and they have an emblem of the city skyline because they are close to downtown. But it's still small and not out of place uglyness.

So DC people how do you drive around with KOONS license plates and KOONS logos on your cars?

And what other cities have terrible regional car dealerships with hideous names and logos?

Does John Elway still have all his dealerships in Denver? That would be okay I guess. But wow on the DC area, they are all terrible.

That is tough to beat! Wow. The goofiest one has to be Peter Pan BMW, and I don't know if it's the fictional cartoon character or a person of Chinese extraction, being on San Francisco's peninsula.

The other one that comes to mind is Vic Alfonso (Oldsmobile) Cadillac Hummer, of all places in Portland OR. Sounds more like a big band orchestra leader from New Jersey.
