Why on earth would you leave a horrid bright yellow Arnold Clark sticker plastered on the back of it?

Im actually shocked at the amount of 67/18 plate cars worth 25k plus on the road that still have them on.

Why on earth would you not take yet off straight away?

PS can you tell this is one of my main irritants in life?

When I was 18 one of my friends passed his test and got an old banger. His friend worked @ AC and had a pile of the stickers...... he cut up the letters and turned a few upside down so the sticker now read CrAp old CAr

I am totally with you OP. When I ordered my new car I phoned up the dealer just to tell them not to put a sticker on. I always notice cars with Arnold Clark stickers on, they are hideous.

My DH removes all dealer stickers asap, he even changes out number plates with dealer names on them.

I don’t care on the other hand. To me a car is just a tool. I’m not much interested in them other than that they get me where I’m going. I don’t care what they look like.

I don't even know if mine has one stuck on or not! It's really something that doesn't register with me. Now those bloody Baby on Board badges... FFS they drive me mad! 😠

Oh I always remove them too. Hate them.

For the same reason as they..
Don't come with a stick behind the wheel that tells people where you are going
Don't come with a hands-free system so you can balance your phone under your chin whilst sipping your latte.
Have windscreens that prevent you from judging distance
Have mirrors aimed at themselves and not the road behind or alongside
😂

I wanted to take ours off but I was too scared to because of potentially leaving a mark.

SusanneLinder · 12/04/2018 01:49
