Okay, here’s something I just don’t understand
RIP decals on the car window in tribute to a deceased Hector or Juan, Spanky, Janice or whomever?
I mean “RIP Daddy” is super thoughtful and says that you did in fact love your father. But the spandex and bippy top we see as you step out of your car says that your love may not have been reciprocated.
I’m seeing them on car windows more and more these days and I don’t, for the life of me (oh, uh, that was real tacky word choice), understand why people think it’s endearing to pay tribute to their relative, friend or pet by slapping the name of their deceased loved one on the back of their bird-pooped, dirty car window.
Furthermore, when said RIP decal begins to peel from the back of your ’86 Chevy Nova, looking more like a sun-parched gecko begging for its last breath, then I think it’s actually time for that sticker to RIP.
I’m sure it’s also super fun to put those cute stick-figure family member stickers on your rear windshield but my guess is it’s a lot less enjoyable when you have to take one off?
My first car was a super sexy Datsun Station wagon with wood side paneling. It was covered with Jesus Saves stickers my mom purchased down at the Calvary Chapel tent revivals.
I’m pretty sure the only message that sticker sent was “Jesus needs to save his money and buy a new car…or take that one to heaven!”
RIP Jesus Wagon (and bumper stickers)
yea, the hus bought the supercute disney family stickers when we had the super gagful minivan. hated the stickers as much as I hated the van. neither were my idea. I now drive an entirely sticker-free mazda cx-7. I think it actually goes faster w/o the stupid stickers weighing it down.
“In Loving Memory of Your Insurance Policy, Because You are Tailgating Me to Read this Damn Sticker!”
Yes, so shortly after the death of bumper stickers (when people realized they #shockiingly lowered the re-sale value of the car), window decals sprang up. *sigh* It is our burden I guess… you know being this insightfully awesome 🙂
I just saw one the other day and thought the same thing. Love the super sexy Datsun. I had a hot Buick Century Limited 🙂
My first was a 76 Vega that my dad bought for $200. It was an ugly green so I spent way too much buying cans of spray paint and turned it into an ugly blue…No stickers!
