We can already deduct mileage. Tax rules are that you can deduct mileage, OR you can deduct a percentage of the maintenance and gas. But you cannot do both.ameliasurf said:
Also, many insurance companies have rules that advertising on a vehicle changes it from "personal" to "commercial," with higher insurance rates. This may also affect your registration, depending on which state/province you live in.

Mine has started to come off in small places at the bottom of my phone number. It seems like that's where the wiper is hitting. Plus, it didn't start doing that until winter and FREEZING weather here. I don't think its from the defroster, as that's not where the "line" is in the window.vwpamperedchef said:
I can't complain, though...as it has been on for a long time, and I think it was the combo of freezing cold and the wiper hitting the letters. But, for both of you guys, I would have her remake your lettering and try again maybe. Sorry you are not having as good of luck as I did!

But I think what Kelly said may be right, the defroster. I didnt think about that! I dont have a rear wiper, so I KNOW its not that. And its been cold here, so that may be the reason. My defroster lines go all the way up the window. (I have a new beetle). HMM
I dont think I will be trying it again, but I WOULD like it perhaps if it was like a decal (that would be moveable on and off in the inside of the window).
It was nice while it lasted, although I guess it won't last forever.......

DH offered to buy me a convertible for my bday and I was like, we can wait, I just put the decal on my car. Now, I guess I can reconsider that offer!!

Funny you should ask, I just called my Insurance Agent to confirm, because I really like the new decal Merrill is selling.
She called the underwriter and was told that it changes your car to a Business Class, but one of the lower classes, so it would be more if you were transporting people, but still once you slap that logo on the car, it becomes a Business Vehicle.
She said it would be anywhere between $30 and $50 more per year for the insurance (I drive a 2007 Ford Taurus, so that's not bad) BUT (and I didn't even think of this one) she said that I would be required to change my plates to commercial plates or if I were stopped by a cop they could tow my car. So I looked at commercial plates and they cost $100 per year, here in MA.
Again, these may be the laws in Massachusetts, so I would call your own Insurance Agent to determine what you may need to do, to make sure your doing everything the right way.
