cloudseeker2001 0 #6 December 16, 2004 Seems many people like to stick their USPA sticker on the lower left rear window! And I have seen Levin riding around Houston alone with his helmet-cam on for no good reason at all!!!!!!!!!!

Snowwhite 0 #9 December 16, 2004 Bernice and I nearly drove Sunshine off of the road last year. We had her really weirded out til I pulled the (then new) WFFC sticker out of my workbook and practically threw it in her face as we drove up next to her. Yea, we pulled over, and we took pictures too. This is a strange group we belong to, you know?skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrock 0 #13 December 16, 2004 That's so funny, cause I was driving back from a concert tonight with a friend and I made him speed up so I could see if I knew the people in the car that had multiple skydiving stickers on it. Unfortunately, I didn't. Hey, were any of you at the Trans-Siberian orchestra concert tonight in VA? I agree, strange small community we are...

President 0 #14 December 16, 2004 Yeah just remember there's a huge after market for used cars in this country. Recently I was assisting my buddy in buying a used SUV. All went great, we found one we really liked and he was ready to say I take it when we noticed a small 7-color rainbow sticker on the rear window. Needless to say the deal was cancelled, we exchanged angry lines with the dealership guy and left. Think about that some people might not recognize/notice/care about leftovers from previous owner. ...and what would happen if we got that one and he drove it for a while Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

President 0 #21 December 16, 2004 My primary point was that sticker on somebody's car does not necessarily mean it was put by that person. This was just a little story to illustrate this. The last sentence about "what if he drove it" should be read as "yeah and now imagine ppl approach the guy based on this sticker". The reason we didn't buy it was because we couldn't scratch it off - and another thing - dealership is supposed to run pre-sales checks etc. Not removed sticker means those guys are slackers - what else they haven't checked ? ..oh, it is not the first time a sticker can't be removed. My ex-wifes student parking permit just didn't let go, at all, had to cover it with "proud to be an american one" to sell - for some reason a buyer had a problem with that thing on the rear glass.

flyangel2 2 #22 December 16, 2004 I loaned my friend my van a few years back for a road trip to Texas. One of the brake lights was out, and he got pulled over by the police and was going to get a ticket. That is till my friend pointed out the sticker I have on the rear window. It says, "GIRLS KICK ASS!" My friend said that he could prove it wasn't his van and didn't know the light was out, cause there is no way he would be driving through Texas with that on his rear window. He didn't get the ticketMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Bolas 5 #23 December 16, 2004 I was going to a new DZ (now my home DZ). I was cruising down the highway and this guy came up fast behind me and blinked his lights. I was speeding but not that much I moved over and thought he was going to go right by. He got up even with me and stayed there. Not knowing what kind of nut this guy was I didn't even look at him, locked my eyes straight ahead. He hung by for a mile, even when I slowed down. Finally he zoomed in front of me and stuck a Parachutist out the sunroof. After that we showed each other our rigs while going down the highway. When we got off the same exit I pulled up next to him and we laughed about me thinking he was crazy. He said he saw the skydiving stickers on my truck and wanted to say hi. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #24 December 17, 2004 I was driving my husbands truck with his stickers in Greenville, SC. Heavy traffic, didn't know where I was going. Some woman was behind me, I would change lanes, she would change lanes, she kept honking at me, and I thought that she was nuts cuz I was trying to give her plenty of room to get away from me. We finally came up to an intersection, she pulled up in the lane next to me, but about a half a space behind me, getting ready to turn in the opposite direction from me. She yelled, but all I could hear her say was "Skydiver?" Too confusing, and far to try to answer her back.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
