I have a black license plate frame that says Marathon at the top and 26.2 at the bottom. It is more discrete than a sticker, but still hobby joggerish I guess. I got it probably 5-6 years ago when I first did a marathon. I don't consider myself a hobby jogger, but I'm not a competitive runner either. I can break 3 hrs.
Should I ditch the frame?
0.75/10
My favorite is still this: "A 26.2? How cute!" on an IM triathlete's car.

I'll take that as "yes, you should get rid of it".
My favorite was the "3K" sticker on someone's car.
Turned out they ran across the country. Nicely understated.
running across the country? who the hell has that kind of time?
70% of LR's faithful?

Plenty of lets run posters who could get across the country pretty quickly if they ran instead of typed.
I rock the 3.1 sticker proudly (sarcastically of course)
I saw a 0.0 sticker once. I thought that was pretty funny. I have to drive my wife's car to work. She has a "wag more bark less" sticker. Not quite as bad as a marathon related car dressing, but not so good either.
I know a guy with a 1.609 sticker. That might take the cake.
I thought it would be funny to make 26.1 12.9 dnf and dns stickers
I actually saw a vanity plate on a BMW Z4 today that said "42K195M". Jumped right out at me but I bet non-runners and probably many runners don't get it.

A DNF sticker would be extra funny if you see the car on a tow truck.

42k would be the marathon distance in metric, and just guessing that 195M would be number of minutes, translating to 3:15.
3:15 marathon. Big whoop.

I feel like most runners serious enough to be on letsrun should know a marathon is 42 kilomters and 195 meters.

I can't tell if you're being serious
How on earth can you draw such a conclusion? In the States, metric measurement means jack squat.
