Actually, copyrighting something prohibits you from reproducing it AT ALL. Disbtribution of a copyrighted work is called piracy. So when your local vinyl shop makes you that Lexus decal, that's both copyright violation AND piracy. Also, Lexus does not own the Alexis font, Microsoft does. The Lexus font is not Alexis - it's very, very close. There are subtle differences which allowed Lexus to create their own font, which they do own.

I'm sure..driving over the speed limit or something would be something we do illegally that has a larger consequence than that..

You're absolutely right, Tuan... this whole area is a lot like downloading music off of Napster back in the day - except in this case, the companies whose logos are being used don't raise a stink because their product is not being stolen, only their logo - and in the end, it's FREE adverstising for them, exactly where they want to be advertising.
Depends where you check... 
In L.A. (and most other cities), most vinyl shops do not have the appropriate licenses to legally reproduce logos.
OK enough legal mumbo-jumbo... BACK TO CL sightings!!!

Back to spottings:
dilemma HOW COME I NEVER GET SPOTTED?
My usual commutes/work I drive 20-70 miles around the county. I see many but am seldom spotted.
