If only VW is allowed to sell officially �logo-ed� merch. than shouldnt we be popping all of the badges off of our buggies before we sell them? or is it just if we sell them at a profit? Or, what if we made a line of young and hip jewlrey out of old VW badges?, would this be legal? Here in NY city, I�ve seen downtown boutiques selling handbags with integral hubcaps mounted on the sides (one containing a 70�s style bus hubcap) proudly displaying the VW logo? Legal or not? (BTW they also have other makes) While I appreciate the lawyer-ific types who disseminate the legal info as it pertains to us on the list, a little plain english layman�s terms would be helpful. when is a non VW person allowed to sell a logoed VW item legally? does in fact a situation exist where this is possible? inquiring minds want to know!

I destinctly saw a 1974 chevrolet van hubcap affixed to the underside. Or maybe the entire Death Star was manufactured by chevy!
