My wife and I are expecting our first child (a boy) any day now and are naturally very excited about it. Our last name is Carr, so when we were trying I kept thinking about ways that I could leverage that when we announced it to friends and family. One day it dawned on me that I could make a window sticker for our new "Carr". I do some graphic design at work so I slapped this together one Saturday afternoon.

Looking forward to busting out the Matchbox cars and Legos with the little man some day.

Congrats! But your MSRP is way too low. A lot? A ton? Needs more. Much more.

I work in the auto industry and I just sent this around to my office. It was a big hit.

Thanks for the connection! This was a rare stroke of creativity so I hope I didn't set too high a standard for myself!

Around here? Never. This place regularly runs the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Congratulations!

You've made one classic mistake though:

" We are pregnant" ?? Unless you're a lesbian couple (which would be totally fine with me if that were the case) that seems like a biological impossibility. And not the case here since you mention a single kid.

Your wife is pregnant. You're both expecting. But don't let this technicality distract you.

Oh, and speaking as a father of 2 (our daughter is 2 years, 8 months old, our son is 5 months old) I envy your projected Bottles Per Diaper numbers! Assume poorer "mileage", just to be safe. As for the Multi-Fuel capability: not for the first few months!
