They are good reminders to drive safe but I agree they are a tad over the top sometimes.
The sticker memorials on car windows crack me up.
“In memory of John 1960 - 2010” or something like that.
Is your car in memory of John? The window? Your driving? The bird poop on the window?
The creepier ones are t-shirt that African-Americans usually have with a picture of the deceased relative. The Wall St Journal did a story on it and it is a cottage industry. It includes the rear window treatments for cars.
I think a little of this occurs in the hispanic community too.
It is often gang members getting shot and killed at a young age.
Yep, it’s a classy new trend. When I die, I certainly hope my son will dedicate his sweet 1989 Ford Tempo 4-door in my loving memory!
Last year I saw an F-150 with a huge sticker, “In Loving Memory of my Dad”. The guy driving the truck was pretty geriatric, so I was curious and paid attention to the birth/deceased dates. Believe it or not, the guy’s father was 104 years old when he passed away!
Dude, if you’re nearly 80 years old, and your father just passed away at 104, you should feel pretty good that he had quite a run. God knows that I know it hurts to lose a parent, but 104 should take the sting off of it a wee bit... lol
