Random question

So I've seen this logo on a few cars and they seem to come in different colors too... Does anyone know what it is/stands for?

tear 1 is for having only 1 turbo
tear 2 is for driving a GTI(not sure on car but w/e)
tear 3 is for losing to most all cars.

Jk, I have no clue.

Murdered 3 pedestrians. I think that's what the teardrops still mean at least.

each tear represents 5 years served in prison.

First picture looks like a GLK (maybe?), so that's one tear drop for every time they cried after their wife dictated the purchase.

I can tell the second picture is a Wrangler, I suspect that is the number of times they cried after the cast exhaust manifold cracked.

Funny enough, the only other place I can find anything about this at all is a thread started on the NASIOC forum a year or two ago and most of the replies there were similar . Nobody had an answer though.

It must be a FL thing since I've only seen it down here. It's been driving me nuts since it obviously means something since people are putting it on their cars. I've also seen one where each drop was a different color, teal, red, green.

There is a sticker I see on the back of cars all the time around here that I had no clue what it represented until recently. Turns out it denotes membership of a local mega church. It wouldn't surprise me if this sticker was something similar.

I would guess that it has some meaning for a local brand/place then. You can figure out where to buy the things?

Originally placed in prison to signify that the bearer was owned by a fellow prisoner. In prison terms "there bitch." The tear drop signifies that pain and humiliation one would feel after being "turned out" in prison. The tattoo is placed on the face to further humiliate the victim and mark them in a place where they could not cover the mark.

Confusion about it's meaning has come from the victim's having to explain the tattoo when they get out of prison and have to explain it to family and loved one's. They would often state that they got the tattoo because they killed a man in prison. This statement was not far from the truth since their submissive act of becoming another man's "bitch" could easily be viewed as the death of their manhood.
