I have mine, and they are really great!
I live in Beaumont, near Palm Springs/Desert. It gets really hot here, and I had some other magnets melt on my car, but not these.
I take them off to wash my SUV and leave them on all the time.
I am no where near a slow driver either.
That stretch of the 10 freeway on my way to Indio, I am hitting at least 90!:eek:
I think they are a great investment, I would like to get the window decals too!!!!!!
Do you have the Merril ones? OR where did you get yours? I think the magnets will do for now. Have you gotten any response from it?

I got mine on ebay. I also found a discount place online for laminate sheets and business card size. I use those to make the "host club card" and "gold customer card"

Hey Valky what do you do for a Gold Customer?

I was thinking about laminating the host club cards too. Making my own instead of using PCs. Or do we have to use theirs?

No, you don't have to use the ones offered by PC vendors.
I have a "Platinum host card" and a "Gold Customer card" they get so many "punches" for show totals or purchases. I would post it on here but it is done on The Print Shop program. Anyway, they can use them in conjunction with other shows too.
