Do people put these on their back car windows because their kids completed a marathon or because they did? If it is for an adult, I would imagine they have self-esteem issues. 4951

I think it's the adults that do them.  I have several friends that run marathons and they all have them.  If I were ever able to run a marathon I would put one on my car too.  Only 2% of people actually compete in marathons.  Why not brag about it? 4951

It's like any other bumper sticker, magnet or decal. It is about showing your interests, not about self esteem issues. Training for and running in a marathon takes time and effort and if someone is proud of that and wants a sticker on their car, good for them! It beats sitting on the couch watching Jersey Shore.

I have friends who do super marathons and they nor their friends would never put that decal on their car. Ok, well if it is adults putting those stickers on to pimp themselves, I have no problem wearing my #1 Dad t-shirt in public. 4951

@KellyG:
Very true.  I've never really liked running, and the most I could ever run without a break was 5 miles.  I run about 2 miles (on an incline) a day on the treadmill, and that kicks my ***. I do it because I feel like I have to, not because I like it.   I don't think I could ever do a half marathon, so yeah, I give props to those that do.  As long as those people that have those stickers actually really do the marathon, and aren't just trying to make people think they do!There are a lot of posers out there! 4951

Some people won't put any sticker on their car, not even the "k" sticker and other people put so much information about their families on their car I feel like I know them and should put the on my Christmas card mailing list. 4951

I'm not a fan of any decals, but I will tolerate putting the kid's stickers up. Plus a little free promotion for the local sports organizations is a good thing. I did see a Klein Oak band sticker where it had the student's name and instrument they played. I thought that was cool, maybe KPark or KHS can get those too. 4951

I'm not sure why.... but when I trained for my first marathon, I really wanted to put a 26.2 sticker on my car. I remember at race expo going to the booth to pick it out. Then, waiting until after the race to put it on my car.
Ha, a little silly now that I look back on it. I guess it was a sort of "reward" to myself for the months of training and hard work?
After a year or so I took it off. Figured I need to run another marathon to "earn" it.

I am not bothered by them, but I just don't like decals on my car. Some people also claim that it is not a good idea to have decals of your kids activities on your car. I think it's a little paranoid.  4951

@TexINS: perhaps starting a post tearing others down for something that doesn't affect you in the least is indicative of a self-esteem issue?
