i think the fundamental purpose of a visual "mod" on a vehicle is to get others' attention. whether we find it appealing or not, it's apparent that a nike swoosh or any other visual mod on someone's car has a higher chance of getting our attention than one that is bone stock. i like to call it the "look at me" syndrome. you can find a lot of these types of people dressing, doing their hair, and carrying themselves in ways just to draw attention to themselves. some like to think that they are merely being cool or expressing themselves, but i think deep inside, they have the unquenchable desire to be noticed for whatever reasons.

All I could find in the press:

Gold capped teeth with
swooshes and swoosh tattooes are not just the stuff of gang members and Nike
employees anymore. Brett Bryan, manager of BodyGraphics Tattoo in South
Windsor, says someone asks for a Nike swoosh about every other month. His
tattoo artists have rendered black swooshes, multicolored swooshes, swooshes
with "Just do it," and "Just do it" alone.


Damn I thought just Mexicans down here have bad taste in cars. Must be a mexican thing to put dumb stickers, over or under-sized cheap-ass wheels, stupid body kits poser mobiles.

There are cars around here with that 'swoosh' logo so big it BLOCKS the rear window....I have no idea how that is not illegal. It is very stupid to say the least. :rolleyes:

Really? Do you also like working in factories for less than minimum wage and only eating at Taco Bell?
