Take off the rain guard on your passenger side. Not hard.

The flags are coming out in full force, almost everyone parked in the ST lot at university had them on. City buses with "Go Flames Go", and kids wearing jerseys to school. God, what a time to be alive.

I was hoping to avoid modifying my vehicle, but I will check to see how easy this really is.

Burn your car to the ground. Buy a new car.

I have a flames decal on my back window but I still feel the need to up the degree in which I express my fandom. Gonna try Jersey City this weekend.
There's a place at Market Mall that *might* have them, it's called Collector's Lane. Haven't checked but I will today.

After Rush Hour, I'd say less than 1 car in 1,000 has car flags.

Step your game up Calgary!

Can you put spoiler tags on that giant pic?

I haven't seen that many car flags around, only occasionally. Bit disappointing but hopefully when we're in round 2 they'll start coming out!

Anyone in Lethbridge know of anywhere that's selling these? Checked Jersey City and Sport Chek and they didn't have any.

I currently have my 4 flags on the car. Any new Flames flags are hard to find here in Halifax, the ones I'm using are my '04 veterans.

I bought one on the weekend and put it on. It blew off when I was driving on Glenmore yesterday. Dammit. I don't know if I didn't have it put on correctly, or if I shouldn't be going over 80 with one of these things on.

Rolled down Deerfoot this morning at 100+ with no issues, so it might have been installed wrong.

Only put mine on this morning because I only put it on for the first game in '04. Good juju, you know?

EDIT: I'm laughing at myself for saying "installed" when referring to a car flag.

Weird, just drove through the I-15 back to Calgary going 130-140 and no problemo and it was windy as #### out. Must have not secured them properly

I had the bike rigged up with one this morning. Also was wearing my jersey. One guy riding the other way went to give me a high five. I realized late, and it was a tough call between completing the last minute high five and us both tumbling into the river, or leaving the guy hanging. If you're on here, I high fived you with my heart. With my heart.

Did you accidentally roll down the window? That has been known to happen. In the 04 run, my mother did this while driving on the 401 in Ontario, she almost killed us as she swerved to pull over and made my brother go get it. It was hard to get a Flames flag in ON so I don't blame her..

My husband has two eight foot flags flying from his truck. He had to modify the truck to install the flag poles. Looks great!!!
