i have been flying the 3'X5' flag off the back of my van on holidays,since i bought the van in '96.
I also started flying it on the afternoon of 9/11.
It is taken off at night and in bad weather.
That became a hastle so i painted one on the side of the van...that one won't come off unless i repaint the van, and then i will put it right back on..
(edit) and yeas there is a flag on my tour, and its not coming off..faded tint or not.
