Car Window Decals (Part 1)

Every once in a while I'll drive past a car that sports a window decal dedicating the car to a deceased friend or family member. My question is:

"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?
