Car decal goes too far
Carolyn Brewster
Carolyn grew up an army brat. It is her personal mission to live up to all stereotypes of the obnoxious NASCAR fan and to raise her children to follow in her footsteps.
I could not help but notice the decal on the window of the car in front of mine. It was a knock off of the "Calvin and Hobbs" cartoon with the fake Calvin wearing a No. 24 shirt. And what he was doing to the No. 2 beside him, well … we've all seen variations of the decal before. The sticker is clearly not officially licensed by NASCAR and it's not one Jeff Gordon would personally endorse.
There was nothing else on the back of this truck - no bumper sticker or gun rack. The decal was custom-made since I can't imagine it being sold at the track or even your local automotive parts distribution chain. Clearly the man had to put forth some effort to obtain this "artwork."
My question is this: How much must you disdain a driver to accessorize your vehicle so graphically? There are some Sprint Cup drivers I like less than others, but not enough to be so hateful. Does he drive that truck and decal to church? Holy cow, man. Buy a 24 sticker and leave it at that.
