Flag per Vehicle Ratio
« on: November 29, 2001, 07:13:00 AM »
From observations of fellow citizens since the 9-11 attacks I’ve come up with a theory. It seems that the number of flags displayed on a vehicle is inversely proportional to the gas mileage. Can anyone else corroborate this?

In an attempt to divert this thread away from a shouting match...I had a boat for 9 years named 'The American Dream' and flew an American flag from its stern every time I went out, I've had a HUGE American flag on the back wall of my garages in both houses I've owned...I've always flown the American flag since I've lived on my own, and recently (9-11) began flying a 4th flag from my auto(inside).  Lost 9 relatives to the hands of the Japanese, and my father was in the 101st Airborne during the Korean Crisis.

Proud to be American, even BEFORE it became stylish.

lol good one!

my town's all decked out in flags..it looks great on the old victorians.

the only thing that bugs me is that you can tell some people bought those cheesy tv offers where you get a lapel pin some cheap flag and a cheesy uncle sam windsock or something. thats just cheap.

i already had like 4 flags at my house and i'm a commie nazi infidel bastard right?... ;) i wonder why more others didnt?

and another thing...<andy rooney mode on>....didja ever notice?

those damn commerative coins and plates? is anything lower than that? i mean come on - a big 'crying eagle and brave firefighter' or whatever next to 'elvis' and 'princess diana' on your plate wall - it offends...cheapens the event into a marketing push.

I left the flag shoulder patch on my leathers,  I left the flag bumper sticker on my car.  I did get a new stick pin for my hat though.  I thought I might as well join in the new found patriotism.

It's a shame that it took something as terrible as the recent events to bring back patriotism, but you won't see me complaining about it.

i went back to my appartment for lunch and saw a 80's rusted out ThunderBird with a flag on the antina, passanger window(window was rolled up so it kept the flag from falling out), and a flag on the back window.
On the back of the car there was 3 "god bless the U.S." in a row along the trunk.
Also on the back bumper was 2 more stickers with flags and some writing on them. (didnt stop to read what it said.)

i have nothign against putting flags and whatnot on your car but DAMN that just looked trashy.
