    Default An observation

    Rolled up to Hilton Head last night for a prebid today and ended up driving to Charleston to visit another site, and I gotta tell you, I saw more stickered up trucks than I've seen in three years.

    Is it a regional thing, or what?

    I don't know, but it's the same way at the Outer Banks. Tons of OBX stickers along with others that let you know where the owner's have been. Like anyone shives a git! Not to mention the Browning, name your university, etc etc. Looks trashy if you ask me.

    I'm gonna get me one of them yuppie ass stick figures. You know the ones that lets everyone know there's a mom, a dad, some tax write offs and a couple of pets?

    But mine will just be me stabbing a soccer ball.

    My favorite is the memorials on the backs of windows. Not making fun of them in any way, as death is no joke..... but for the life of me I can't understand the practice. If I had died in a car accident in my teen years I can't see sitting upstairs excited about the fact that people were riding around with my epitaph on their rear window.

    Lots of that in FL, at least among the crackers. They'll put a "in memory of" sticker up faster than anyone. But there's virtually no poser trucks.

    I don't understand that one either. It's like riding around with a tombstone on your window. I hate the stick figures and the OBX ones also.

    One thing worse though is the tricked out cars. If the company paid for the car it would be ok but I'm not going to advertise by painting my car in Home Depot or Skittles colors. Saw a Betty Boop painted one the other day.

    I saw one of these one time, it was twice the size as normal and on the back of a dodge ram. Father, mother, and three kids, complete with GIANT red X through the mom sticker...hilarious.

    I saw this one in the Bojangles drive thru in Orangeburg a few months back:



    It appears to be a tribute to the grandkids: Zaria, Damarion, Danarius, and Trey. I wonder how Trey got lucky??

    Come to Columbia. Reese's Pieces, M&M's, Butterfinger.......and it looks bad when they are FORD....found on roadside dead....most are old Crown Vics. Those things have more clearance than a jumped up Z-21 or whatever those things are.
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

    The memorial deal is a growing trend. That Adam Wells one is all over Lower Richland. Trail-n-Tree has one on his truck for his buddy that passed away recently I noticed when he was at the farm the other day.

    I always wondered about the "In Memory of" ones. Is the car in memory of the person?, back windshield? sticker? because I thought that something actually had a memorial of some type? Kinda like the Vietnam Memorial is in memory to all fallon soilders from the war or any statue was in memory of that person or thing.
