"What enticed you to dedicate the purchase of a new vehicle to a deceased individual?"
I mean, you'd think there would be a better way for someone to memorialize a deceased friend or family member than displaying it on a vehicle. I guess maybe the deceased individual really liked cars or really wanted to own the particular car that you purchased, but I have to say this is kinda cheesy.
First off, you are spending at least $100 to $200 for all the lettering and the installation. Then, it's not like you are going to own this vehicle for the rest of your life. This leads me to another question:
"What are you going to do with the memorial once you decide to sell the car?"
I can't imagine wanting to purchase a vehicle that has a memorial on it for "Ed" or "Steve" or "Grandma Mabel". Maybe that's your thing, but not me, kinda creeps me out.
Do any of you have memorials on your vehicles for a deceased family member? Have any of you seen cars with these memorials? What are your thoughts on this practice?

That is huge in Arizona, too. It is also fairly commonplace for these same rolling-memorial touting folks to hold a fund-raiser car wash in the parking lot at the auto parts store to cover the funeral costs of the aforementioned, memorialized deceased. Maybe they could have put that $200 worth of vinyl towards the casket and quit trying to bum my hard-earned money. You didn't see my ass out there having a bake sale to pay for my wedding, did you? But then again, I'm just an a-hole.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about putting window decals on a car to decicate it to someone, but there are cheaper ways to remember a loved one in that manner. The Vinyl Decal Store has memorial window decals for around $25. If you ever want to remove the memorial from the car, then just scrape off the vinyl from the window with a razor blade.
