Me too, Linda. I've got quite a collection in amongst my car album, here:
However, I think that many are not tagged/keyworded as such. Searching for "emblem" brings up quite a few.

It's a Lexus SC430. Declared by Top Gear as the worst car ever made.
Here is a shot with the top up.

And Top Gear wouldn't know if their a**e was on fire, until they tried to talk through it ... Just IMNSHO, of course.

The good part is it severely depressed the resale value of these cars for years making them accessible to a much larger audience. But prices have been climbing of late.
This one is 15 years old and had 45,000 miles on the clock when I bought it.

As if anyone in their right mind would let some 20 something y.o. behind the wheel of a car like that.
That having been said, I did manage to talk my way in to a test drive of a 250LM and a 275LM Ferrari at around that age! Bloody tractors, both of them, compared with the urbane nature of a 3.8L Jaguar E-Type that I had much more than a test drive of around same time. Drove it around 100+ miles from Brisbane to Surfers Paradise and back before there was even a divided road, let alone the present day freeway.

We see these'N' stickers on all sorts of exotic cars in downtown Vancouver. They are required for any driver with less than 2 years of getting their first post-Learner's licence. They can't have more than one passenger or drive between midnight and 5:00AM.These rally cars all had so many stickers and sponsors' ads all over them, that it took me till just now to notice the L for Learner Driver

Maybe they should have a maximum hp law, for the first two years, as well. I believe they have tiered hp licensing for motorcycle’s in Europe.
This “driver” sure isn’t ready to handle much of anything, it seems. Just look at the “perfect” parking job.

Here, we have red 'P' plates for the first year after gaining a licence for the first time (if under 25 y.o.?), and green 'P' plates for a further two years after that. Mature age drivers have green 'P' plates for three years after first getting their driver's licence (no red P plates). They are a bit bigger than that, front and rear.
Learner drivers must display a yellow 'L' plate at all times.
As I have explained to many young people who chafe at these restrictions, they also warn us far more experienced drivers to both watch out for them, and to cut them slack when they make the inevitable mistakes.
There are a number of attendant laws about curfews, number of passengers (and their age), zero alcohol, etc. Some terrible things occur when these sensible prohibitions are breached.
These laws have managed to halve the death rate on the roads for under 25 y.o. males in particular.

I don’t live in the Uk now, but as a learner I had to have a L plate (white background Red L) on the vehicle (back & front). Once I passed the driving test the plates came off. In fact the day after I passed my test, my parents let me undertake a 150 mile round trip.. in all honesty it was really quite daunting under all my youthful bluster. In later years, I realized just how little I then knew about road craft. Regards ScleralGuy

Victoria has a better system based on power to weight ratio.
The guts of it is :
Definition of probationary prohibited vehicle
A vehicle is probationary prohibited if it has:
- a power to mass ratio of greater than 130 kilowatts per tonne, or
- an engine that has been modified to increase performance (other than a modification made by the manufacturer during the vehicle’s manufacture), or
- been declared as probationary prohibited in the Victorian Government Gazette.
This applies to all vehicles, including those that have club permits.

Alfa have had those sorts of problems for at least the last 50+ years.
My Subarus have always gone from one service to the next without anything going wrong, except batteries (average 8 years each) or tyres.
Otherwise, servicing at 24,000kms or 24 months, whichever comes first.
