Well, I went and did it
Some o' yas helped me realize I or my truck probably wouldn't come to any real harm if I flew the colors, so they went up today. :bounce:





Note: Stickers stick longer if you radius the corners.

12. Cool
:toast:

But most people look at me weird when I call it a truck. I tell 'em, "Hey, it's got a cab and a bed. It sure as hell ain't a minivan." :shrug:

18. My BIL has an old GMC Sprint he wants to unload
Not sure of the year; '80-ish, I guess. It has that Monte Carlo front end. :puke:

It's got problems, but it runs. I'm sure he'd let you have it for nothin' if you covered transportation.

I might be into taking on a project otherwise.

But...yeah, if it were a Monte Carlo SS front end...

13. Very nice
Obviously, I appreciate BOTH stickers.

I have my DU sticker on my car as well as several others. On the paint even. I've NEVER done that before. Getting feisty in my old age, I guess...

15. I won't even put 'em on the bumpers
'Course, cars through the '60s actually had chrome bumpers. :woohoo:

And covering chrome is sinful. :grr:

29. That'll have to wait for the new transmission
This'un's the original. Got 330,000 miles on it. No problems, but I wanna beefier one. :thumbsup:

And o' course, it'll have to get painted first.

(The truck; not the transmission.) :silly:

52. I've had my DU sticker on my car for over 3 months now
Along with a "Peace is Patriotic" sticker, and no harm has come to me or my car.

It is sad how we have to worry though, given the hostile nature of repugs. :-(
