Whiptastic Handling...

Saw this (4th from the bottom) ad in Razor magazine while I was in the barber shop. It has a little badge for your boot that says "Whiptastic Handling." Well, I didn't want to put it on my boot so I stuck it on my dash, check it out:

Whiptastic Handling

The ad says you have to promise to drive your car with whiptastic handling at all times, so now I have a good excuse for the way I drive :D

I've never stuck any stickers on my cars before, but I'll admit it, I did put the whiptastic handling sticker on my boot. Looks like it came that way. It's funny, two days later two folks from work saw it and said they just figured that was a suspension package I had ordered or installed.

I was having trouble getting the piece off the ad it was attached to, but you've inspired me to give it another try. Attaching it to the boot.....what would make a good/safe adhesive for that?????

It already has the adhesive. They glue it to the paper, so you can pull it off the page. You can then peel the back of it off like a sticker.
