Wanna Drive Me Around Town?

How do you feel about bumper stickers? Do you like them? Do you have any on your car?

Honestly, I’m not crazy about them. Only because they are really hard to remove. I mean what if I don’t always want to drive around with a campaign sticker from ’04? Or what if my kid is no longer an honor student at Tiny Tots Roly Poly?

Bumper stickers are more of a commitment than I am willing to make. Why then do I have the following proudly displayed on my car?

019

Ahh, because this my friends belongs to genus: car magnet, not sticker! Jealous much? That’s how I roll in my Mami-mobile with my own bumper magnet, blasting toddler tunes. Can you say, “All that, in a paper bag?” Can you dig it?

My friends at BuildASign.com let me design my very own car magnet and sent me 10 of them (no other compensation was received). It was easy to do and I like them. They also make for a sturdy refrigerator magnet.

So you wanna drive me around town? Would you like an Unknown Mami car magnet? It’s awfully cute. If you do, let me know in the comments. If more than one person wants one, I’ll pull a name out of a paper bag and pick a winner. If you win it and put it on your car or fridge, send me a picture and I’ll post it.

Gee, I hope at least one person wants one or I’m going to feel like a total dork.

    That is awesome. I like the idea of a magnet better than a sticker. I don’t put stickers on my car either, but a sticker would be perfect.

    I like the idea of magnets more than stickers. There is something kind of “unclassy” about a bumper sticker. I drive two piece of junk vehicles (one is even missing the hubcaps), but I wouldn’t ever put a bumper sticker on them.

    I would love one and I would put it on my car.  Is your picture on your fridge?  Are they big enough to read on a car without causing an accident?

      The picture is on my car. They are big enough to read without causing an accident, but I will not be liable for any accidents caused anywhere near their vicinity.

    So are you going to have to permanently wear the paper bag? Otherwise how will people know it’s really you.  You don’t want to be sued for false advertisement.  ;o)  If you have any left I’d love to drive you around town, it might make for interesting parking lot conversations with the town folk.  As payment I’ll send you the large cardboard cutout I have of myself.

    I am so with you on bumper stickers. Not on my car. HERE are my feelings about that. Others my like to display their feelings openly on their cars but not this Monkey. I might put that UM Mag on fridge….if selected.

    I would consider a magnet, but have never done a bumper sticker.  For some reason I just find them a bit trashy…. especially when there’s 6 or 12 0r 20 of them!

    “Pay it Forward” is posted. I hope you’ll be able to participate.
    I’m hoping to build “Pay It Forward” up to be a meaningful event, but I need
    your help to do it. If you can find the time to join in, it would really help
    to grow the effort!

    Time and time again, I’ve wanted the blogging world to meet
    someone I’ve met, or read something I’ve read. 
    That’s what this blog meme is all about, “Pay It Forward.”  Instead of keeping all these great finds and
    great friends to myself, or you keeping your great finds and great friends to
    yourself, we spread the LUV.   Sharing
    the Good News, great tips, wonderful prayers, fabulous photos, scrumptious
    recipes, hilarious humor, unbelievable books, stories of goodwill, or whatever
    good knocks your socks off … with one another. 
    I’d love to have you join in the fun, “Pay It Forward,” to those you
    admire and appreciate, and I hope we’ll get to know each other along the
    way.

    Well *I* think it’s pretty cool.  Sadly, I’m with ya on the bumper sticker.  Wayyyy too much of a commitment.  So guess who doesn’t have a tattoo either 😉

    Hmm. Love the idea of a magnet instead of sticker. Now, though, you’ve got me thinking about making my own bumper sticker, but not for blog advertising–Something snarky, maybe (but people would steal that). I’ll have to think on this…

    I agree.  I don’t like to put on stickers too much either.  I do have a small honu on my back window and a “feel your boobies” campaign magnet.  The magnets are a great alternative.  Very cute magnet!

      Of course, I remember you. You my friend are unforgettable. But NO! I had not made the connection that this was you. One day I just couldn’t find your blogs so I wished you well and sent you positive thoughts.

      So nice to know it’s you.

    I have a bumper sticker on my car and a magnet – The bumper sticker says “Please don’t take your organs to heaven.  Heaven knows we need them here.”  Since organ donation is a life long passion of mine, I was able to commit to the sticker.  I have an organ donation magnet on all three cars and I also have a sticker from the Isle of Man on my car.  Since my car is nearing 100K miles, I don’t mind giving it a bit of sticker love.  The car I just purchased a few weeks ago, just has the magnet. 

    I would love to be in the running for an Unknown Mami magnet!
