Taking off Badges and Emblems

I just took off the rear emblems on my Audi. At first I thought there were holes connecting the emblems to the car, but it was actually like glued or taped on. I thought the process was going to be difficult but it wasn't at all. Most cars now-a-days don't have the holes, but call the dealership first before you take them off.

A lot of people use like a tool or a knife or whatever to take it off, but that way may put scratches on your car. All I did was use a blowdryer to heat up the emblem then after a few minutes I used a plastic knife to just detach the emblem. I was painless and easy. No scratches, no nothing.

However, there was one problem...which was taking off the left over glue left on the car. But there's nothing a little WD-40 can't fix... now it's nice and clean...but give it a car wash and wax too though, so it will look even more fresh.

USC vs. San Jose State

Well I just recently went to the 2009 home opener for the USC Trojans. It was a blast; even if it was unexpected...I had realized that I was going 2 hours before kickoff when Tyler told me that he got 3 tickets for me nessa and himself...well traffic was crappy and parking was even worse.

Since we did park far, we gave ourselves a personal tour through the USC campus, and I must say it was a nice campus. The campus was about 5 CSUF campuses. That was nice and all but back to the game.

We walked into "The Coliseum" and trust me...it was a coliseum. The stadium did represent a coliseum perfectly well as best as they could. The atmosphere was intense and the field was incredibly beautiful.

We got there at the start of the 1st quarter and it was 3-0 I believe, San Jose State. I thought that USC really did get weak, but they quickly proved me wrong with 2 Stefon Johnson rushing TD's and a Joe McKnight TD. Then later a quick pass by Matt Barkley to the endzone for another TD. Within a quarter USC went from down by 3 to up by 25. This shows USC's continuous dominence, but none the less, they were playing San Jose State; which is in the WAC conference. They don't call it the WAC conference for nothing.

We took a trip to get a quick soda and Joe McKnight scored another TD before we could even get back. Once again, USC's superstar power. We left after the 3rd quarter because we all knew who had won this game.

Walking out, USC was once again a force to be reckon with this upcoming college football season, but however I do believe they did get weaker from previous years. I believe their defense and offense is solid, but I still have my doubts about freshman quarterback Matt Barkley. Watching this game, I was not impressed by him, even though he did not make any turnovers, but he missed plenty of wide open receivers. I guess we just have to wait and see. Even though I have confidence and doubts about this team, I do believe they will go to a bowl game, but not the National Championship game because that will be taken by Florida and Texas, and not Oklahoma because of Sam Bradford's injury (TBD). Well that was my take from watching the USC game in the coliseum.

Now it's time for my long walk back to my car. Stay Tuned.
