Well after I got it on, I think it is too much. It is so big and bright and everything else on truck is dull and rusty. It stands out too much. I wanted something sort of subtle. I made it up last winter out of a No Smoking sticker and a Mater sticker bought off ebay. Old truck is fun, been enjoying it this spring, love the 300/5spd. Good dirt road truck.

so long story short, if a fake mater can brighten up a kids day and maybe spark off a interest in there little minds so be it... the more time they are away from the electronic leashes even better.

This brings back memories. Once when I walked out of a store there was a couple with a mentally challenged little boy looking at my truck. He kept on yelling "Mater! Mater! " And trying to pull his Mom toward the truck. I asked if he would like to get his picture taken with Mater and the little guys eyes lit up. I even opened the door and told him to hop in. His parents were so grateful that someone would take the time to show some kindness to a special child. It made my day to be able to brighten his.
So, if a child wants to call my truck Mater, go right ahead!
