Quotation of the Day
11th December 2024
Alma T. C. Boykin:
Part of me once wanted to decorate my vehicle. The rest of me bashed that bit over the head until reason returned. One, depending on where you are, having certain tribal markings on the car will draw unwanted attention from passers by, and perhaps law enforcement. I don’t care to come out of a grocery store and discover that my car has been vandalized because of a sticker or logo. Two, getting fossilized decals off of cars is not always easy, especially now that plastic instead of steel and chrome cover everything. Three, having a vehicle that is clearly Alma’s Car might be a problem if I am ever trying to avoid someone or something. Like people who open carry a very unusual handgun, it signals things perhaps best kept quiet. That might be exactly what’s intended, as we see with highly political vehicles. Or it might mark the driver as a target for less-than-friendly attention if things get Interesting.
