Takes 3 seconds to "peel it off", just stick you finger in the side mirror. If the $20 cost once every ???? years when you get a new car is going to break you, you live in the wrong place. If you get a new $25-$???,000 car you should be able to afford $20 for a sticker IF YOU WANT ONE. LOL, really. Is it THAT big of a deal?

Ohhhh puuuleeeze. Shouldn't be driving ??? REALLY NOW. What a really silly comment. Was going to say a dumb comment but didn't want to insult anyone. It has absolutely nothing to do with being lazy or not wanting to roll down the window. For heaven's sake, some people just like enjoying a little cheap convenience because they can. Besides that, you can't just blow through a gate and have it open. The gate card readers are so old you have to virtually come within a few inches of them and come to a full stop. Probably makes it even safer than using a card.
Why do people pay to have their house cleaned? Lazy? Why do people drive $50,000 cars when they can drive a $15,000 car? Why buy a $400 golf putzer when you can get one for $200? Why get a "designer" dog instead of a rescue? Why get a Rolex when you can get a Timex? Definitely NOT necessary but BECAUSE (generic) YOU CAN.
FOR ME I look at it this way. I don't smoke and I don't drink, I didn't buy a designer home just a little 2/2. I drive a Kia so with the tens of thousands of dollars I have saved and with no smoking or boozing and owning a po' mans home and car I treated myself to a one time purchase of a $20 gimmick to stick in my mirror. Most people probably p1ss away the $20 every day around here. It just makes me feel special.
Shouldn't be driving! Gimme a break (not brake)! Your comment was absurd.
That little sticker seems to REALLY bug some people enough to insult others for wanting one. Or maybe they're just jealous?
