What Do You Think?

Post by AVid on 9/28/2008, 3:42 am

First...I will say that that the front numbers were applied in the late afternoon, after several adult beverages were consumed.

Now...The wife says that the number are crooked and look like heck...I say they are at a "jaunty" angle and look fine. The rear numbers were put on two days prior without the aid of good old American distilled spirits. They are straight and true.

What say you?

There is no denying that they are lying a little crooked. But, they do somewhat follow the curving Wildcat logo and the many other curving lines on the front of your rig. So, I would say that they could stay the way they are.

Before I saw the photo I would thought they need to be straight; it would probably bug me. However, after looking at it, it is hardly noticeable. The cursive script makes it look ok. The "wildcat" logo is cursive also and bigger on one side than it is on the other. I think it looks fine; leave it alone.

It depends on the DW, some battles are not worth winning. You know the old saying, you may win the battle, but loose the war. That decision is totally up to you.

I'm kinda anal myself and would probably change them, but they do not look bad. I believe the cursive font helps you get away with it like it is.

Good luck and you may want to make the decision before you partake in any additional liquid libations. Wink

I'm with the "anal" community. If the 5 and 6 were aligned and both numbers were slightly crooked, then not a problem. But, they two numbers look crooked to each other. That would make me want to give it another go.....
Never need a reason to drink, it just makes for a great excuse when things go wrong. :drunken:

Well...I got to say, it drives me crazy. The numbers were not separate, but together on the sheet. They are put on at the same time. We are going away for one last camp this weekend and I am going to take them off. Unfortunately, they can't be repositioned.

It's not as bad as backing into the garage coach light two weeks ago...yeah...I did that too. It wasn't a good weekend. I have only been pulling RV's for 30 years, you would think I would know better. :roll:

they look OK to me. If you ran a ruler across the top of the numbers the numbers alone would be straight. But crooked as to the relationship to the wildcat logo. But the curve of the front cap is probably making it look more crooked than it really is. Mine has that same illusion, and I wasn't drinking at the time of placement.

Have another drink and enjoy , it will only catch the eye of the passersby who will have to ask, What the Heck is that " 56" for ? Then you can tell them to sit down and listen to the story of how you used to be in the CIA and that was your secret number for other spies to locate you with

I was using the adult beverages as an excuse...actually I only had two. After I stood back and looked at what I had done....I needed more. AwwMan

The picture makes it look better than it really is. If I could get a hair drier over to the storage lot, they would be gone already.

Keep the numbers. Life is too short to waste it trying to remove them. Wink Have another drink - it will help.

I actually kind of like the happy-go-lucky jaunty look. :)

Deed, I think they look fine...In 100 years it's not going to matter any how. Lifes too short to fret about such a trivial little matter such as that. Eat, Drink and be Merry, for tomorrow we may be DEAD!!!!!!!
