Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
Just my RUNRGRL license plate, all my race numbers for this year, and a finishers medal hanging from my rear view; that's it for now. Used to be on my other car a Gotta run sticker and a couple Runner Girl stickers, but I felt I was overdoing a good thing so scaled back a bit. I used to have a license plate that said lv2rn, but kept getting comments about my loving to be a registered nurse so I had to rethink my vanity plate!

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
My car is vanity plate- and sticker-free, except the white Apple iPod sticker on the back.

I named her Vicki after an ex-girlfriend who was a fun little Sport Utility Vehicle as well.

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
I don't like bumper stickers... (well, fun to look at, but I kinda feel like they look trashy on any nice car.)

and I think vanity plates are gaudy (common sentiment here in GA, though my dbf insists that's only because GA charges more than any other state for them.)

So I guess not.

EDIT: I have considered getting one of those back window decals, small one, that says 26.2 .... small enough to be discreet yet still loud to those who recognize!

I have a Life is Good sticker on my bumper with a person running.

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
I agree with GreenEggsAndHam in a way, I like to see bumper stickers on other cars but had never really considered one for myself...until the beautiful invention of the magnet-that-looks-like-a-sticker. I ran my first marathon last year and felt like I'd earned this. I have a small oval magnet that says 26.2 on it. Discreet, but if you know what it means, you know what it means.

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
I am not a sticker kinda person, but I did put a small runner girl on the back window of my SUV. My husband is handicap. Today I realized I have the runner girl stick just above my handicap plates.... It looked ironic...

Inside truck, lots of safety pins, water bottles, dog leashes and junk.

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
I had a runner girl in the backseat of my Vega. Of course, we were both in high school at the time - I played soccer and she ran XC.

Good times.

I keep extra t-shirts in the trunk - usually for changing into after workouts.

Re: Is Your Vehicle a Runnermobile?
My license plate is RUNOFT. It's actually from O Brother, Where Art Thou where one of the characters cousin says his wife R U N N O F T (spelling it so his young son doesn't figure it out). But everyone assumes it's because I am a runner, and I just stopped trying to explain it.
