"memorials" on the back of cars

I've never seen this before moving out here, but quite a few people put decals on the back of their cars/trucks memorializing a friend or relative. "In loving memor of ______ 1956 - 2003" and variations thereof. I grew up in the midwest and can't ever recall seeing those bebore, but they're pretty frequent here on Maui.
Do people do that where you're form? Do you have a memorial on the back of your pickemup?

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

It's mainly Mexicans and black people that do it. I go to school in the 'hood and I see that phenomenon on a regular basis.
P.S. Have you noticed that when a black person dies all of the people that go to the funeral wear t-shirts with a picture of the dead person?

In fact, yes. I call people I don't know "brah" all the time and da ice is most definitely a problem. A popular bumper sticker states "Thanks to Green Harvest, our island's on ICE"
And I am watching Dog right now; although I have not seem him on Maui yet. He is a crazy character, but he is doing all he can to help out the poor souls here addicted to the ice, and for that he should be commended.
EDIT: and out here, I think it is Hawaiian and Filipinos who have those memorials on their vehicles out here....

Hmm, I always thought dog looked like an ICE head myself.The only thing keeping me from thinking this 100% would be the size of his wife.

yeah i've seen this.
in my town there is a Nissan 180sx (done up a fair bit as well) going around and on the back left and right windows, it has 'RIP dr1ft_p1g' printed on it, I'm guessing it was some crazy driver who died doing what he did best or some shit...
hmm
