I would submit that if your a person is so concerned about what other chasers think of their decals while they are out chasing, they might want to reevaluate their reasons for chasing in the first place.

I dont see anything wrong with putting a decal on your vehicle, it at leaste lets others know who we and what were doing out there. Its no different than putting a B.A.S.S. decal or hunting decal or whatever-your-into decal on you car. You enjoy doing it. Show it.

Altho I'm not sure I agree with the individual event magnets, those seem kind of immoral if you ask me, unless sales go to a storm victim charity similar to the SO200_ DVDs.

I agree with Adam about the individual ones...that Greensburg one is just creepy.

I've chased with Jack and he's a great chaser. He does very good work with his storm chase and spotter signs. I have some myself and have been very satisfied. The quality is good with quick response to orders. Highly recommended.

I'd be careful with those signs when chasing. When you go through those towns, there's no telling how people/survivors/relatives are going to react. Seems a little insensitive to me.

I guess we could always start painting little tornadoes and lightning bolts on our car doors for tornado and/or supercells intercepted. You know...like the bomber crews and fighter pilots did in WWII.;)

if i weren't a chaser, and i lived in a town that was destroyed by a tornado, or even worse lost a friend or family member, I would be PISSED if i saw one of those. It's like bragging. I mean, they understand what we do and how we help(to some extent) but thats just insanely insensitive.

I agree with you Mike. I would never ever buy a sign like those with the name of a town that got hit by a tornado. I also think it is very insensitive.

Ditto to what Mike and everyone else has said.

That seems rather tacky, stick with the storm chaser/skywarn magnets and leave out the magnets for the individual events. I also would be rather upset if my town got destroyed and saw someone rolling through with that on it.

It is crazy. It just gives credence to those who believe we are yahoos, especially the individual ones that have ruined or cost people their lives.

Who said you had to stick them on your car? Stick em on your computer case at home, or your bulletin board, or next to the weather map on your wall.

I think I will stick with my Skywarn decal. Somehow I think it implies just a little bit more professionalism.

not just for these ones, but for bumper stickers in general...

Lol...and you can call your vehicle "The Lady of the Plains" and have a painting of a half naked gorgeous stunner on your hood...

Seriously though...those magnetic things are all a bit 'look at me...look how important I am!" aren't they. Apart from the skywarn ones...maybe.

On saing that...you could cover your car in light bars and tornadic magnetic decals and go to a Mardi Gras... ;)

Somebody let me know when they market a line of Bust Emblems. I could wrap my old van in Scud Bomb graphics alone.

Maybe a nice graphic would show my chase vehicle centered on an approaching squall line, with tornadoes happening a few miles to the north AND south, or one of me snoring in bed while a nice cone goes by a few houses away...

And I'd have to have a PDS VIRGA sticker.

And a sheriffnado star.

I was thinking about a custom paint job for the truck and a tornado lightning bolt or somthing on it to make it look good!

Why not just get it wrapped with your own design like I plan to do in the next 6 months? A lot easier than painting it.
