Accesorise your World Cup (8): Pimp it

Germany and cars. Cars and Germans. Vehicles, once the sacred temples of engineering-freaks, have become a show-case for football freaks. Why, WHY would anybody do this to any inanimate object?

There's the window-flag. With a very special and sophisticated system to keep the flag attached. I have seen those in the Autobahn, that is, 120km/h minimum. Has anybody given it a thought? What would happen if you 'lost' your flag, and a car behind you found it?

Yeah, as you can see, there is some kind of weird system to attach the flag to your lights!

There's the rear window flagged-cover. Below we see a very special example. This guy, based on years (!) of experience, has reinforced the original design, with those plastic clips. I wonder whether he had any stability problems during the last world-cup. I wonder whether he would be able to sell his design to whoever is making those things.

And there's the sticker. Mmmmm... Every time I see one of those, I am tempted to go and try to get it off. Are they easy to put on/off? Do they leave glue marks on the car? I want to believe, the people using them gave it a thought before.

And to end with, the bike. Did you think that bikes had been spared? NOOOOOOOOOOO
