- Nice idea, but best stick to windshild cards to go under the wipers.
- Some folks have been known to get rather testy when they catch someone
- sticking ANYTHING with adhesive (like bumper stickers) on their car -
- especially on the newer painted bumpers. And sticking something that
- requires sovents, etc for removal on someones car amounts to a level of
- vandalism, since the removal can damage the surface. More than one
- person has had their features 'readjusted' when they get caught.
- Remember, the person is presumably an asshole, and will respond like
- one.
-
- Put another way, don't do something to someone else you wouldn't want
- done to you, or you are putting yourself at the level you are criticizing.
