Erm. Whaaaa? Honda and Kia are the most carjacked cars.

Maybe you shouldn’t drive like an a@@hole. You are going to kill someone.

Do you have a sticker for your kid’s school on your car?

Which school and why or why not?


We do because our children wanted to; we thought it was so naff to be almost subversive.
So it’s an ironic gesture.


Which is lost on everyone. Next.

Your point?


It looks ridiculous


Maybe they are very proud? Maybe they get FA?

Yes- I have stickers for both DC schools. I still have them for their soccer, baseball and other activities also. As they come off they don’t get replaced. I have no issue advertising for great organizations.

My kids go to different high schools. One really wanted to put a decal on my car. So after a few months, I put that decal on the window and felt I had to put the other high school on as well. Not really a big deal to me, but it seemed to be a big deal to one of my kids that really LOVES his school.

No. Don’t want it to mess up my car paint.

The school charges even for the air we breath on campus. Why should we advertise the school for free?

+1 The only sticker I have on my car is from the oil change service.

I admit that I get excited when I see a fellow parent in random traffic. That said, I don't have a magnet on my car because they don't work on either of our cars.

But if I could get the magnet to work, I'd put it on.

We put other school’s stickers on and yell at people in the neighborhood.
