Imagine for a second if you had to introduce yourself to people using all of the badging on the back of your car, but not including bumper stickers. For myself I would introduce myself as “hello my name is Mr. Toyota Celica GT.”
I just saw a guy that would have to introduce himself as Mr. Land Rover Range Rover Velar P250S sport.
Thats a mouthful... it’s like the old days when that butler dude at fancy soirées would announce the scumbag walking in. “Now announcing his mightiness, the grand pooba of Winchester, the incomparable sultan of Swahili....” ( and everyone dies a little inside )
Sidenote: remember when a badge meant something?
Hello, my name is 0000.
(Previous owner debadged everything but the Audi rings. )

Awesome! Even better if you added “1” between the zeros
I have a theory that the more names that the pet has, the crazier the owner.
I guess that makes me Mr. Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4. The "Limited" part makes me seem fancy, which is nice.
I would be the man with no name. All my personal cars are debadged.
If im in the company car, I'd be impala flex fuel.
We don't need no stinkin' badges!
Now that that's out of the way, I'm known as "Ms. Mazda" (no other badges on the tailgate) or "Ms. 4Runner Space Sombrero", depending on the day.

I'm Mr. Tundra Rock Warrior, 5.7 Flex Fuel. Not sure what that says about me.
I'd be Mr. 2.
Not THAT Mr. 2 however.
The other one from that other Japanese company.
I would be Mr. M.
Kind of sounds like a James Bond bad guy.
In reply to Floating Doc :
That explains a lot about my ex in-laws.

That you're ready for your porn debut.
I thought this was going to be about the RAM trucks with RAM in 2 ft tall letters on the tailgate. Everytime I see one and there's someone in the car with me (and sometimes when I'm alone) I ask if anyone knows what kind of truck that is. Literally just pulled that joke on the way home from my nephew's baseball game tonight, 12 year old nephew laughed, SWMBO rolled her eyes.
I've still got it
I guess im Mr. Toyota Trueno GT-Z supercharger (Custom badges on the Ae86)
But surely there are worse vehicle badging’s Out there? BMW X5 m3 x drive 3.0i? Or Mercedes amg clk45 4matic black edition?

Whenever I see a debadged car, I think of the spendthrift ex-roommate whose car was rearended and the body shop was able to kick back his insurance deductible by not installing badges on the replacement trunklid. So "debadged" will always make me think "wrecked car and cheap owner"...
Man, the Toyota's out here WAY overdo it with the badging. It's like they intentionally sticker up their vanilla poo-boxes in a blatant attempt to sell the same bland appliance for twice the money it's worth.
Example: Allow me to introduce you to "Mr. Toyota Camry Grande V6 from the 'Bebehani dealership'. Did I mention I was 'GRANDE'??? That's riiiight, I said 'Toyota V6 Camry Grande'"
(yes, that's its full name. Just look at all those badges! )
No badges but if we count letters molded into bumper covers and faded painted on tailgate letters I'm Mr. Dodge or Mr. Pontiac.
Now I know a Mrs. Honda Accord Crosstour EX-L 4WD and a Ms. 4.0 Litre High Output Jeep Cherokee. Recently met Mr. Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo
Mr Ford ranger in the winter beater.
Mr mercury zephyr in the wagon.
Mr Mazda. Previous owner debadged

Modern Subarus get pretty carried away with the badges. And they have little "charm" things that you can use to tell the world what you care about.
