A "friend" probably put them there and the driver doesn't even know it. If he's not a DIY'er, might have been there for months...

Anyone with those on his car is almost certainly a DIYer, either by choice or necessity.

Everyone and their mother in the outer banks has "a set" on their trucks. They make 'em in pink, too

IIRC, some MD & VA politicos, not long ago, were actually considering legislation to outlaw them.....

From what I recall (and there appears to be references via Google) a number of state legislatures were trying to outlaw them within their state. I guess punishable for cars registered in the state, and maybe warning for out-of-towners. I don't anything ever passed..yet.

You now know as much as I do.

Since I already had to explain them to my then-10 year old daughter, I no longer care if they outlaw them. But that was a conversation I wish I didn't have to have!

Hadn't she seen any animals by the time she was ten?

Now what I can't explain is why someone would have them on their car.
