If I had to put just one oval bumper sticker on my car- which would be cooler? -

On a triathlete site, 70.3. On a running site, probably 26.2.
My vote's for 70.3
By the way, the coolest # you could put on your car by far, is -273.15
Nothing's cooler than absolute zero!!!!!!

Why only one?
My back window has a stack:
70.3
26.2
13.1
6.2
3.1
There's a spot at the top for 140.6

I've done them all but 140.6 and I take pride in every single accomplishment.
While it is gaining in popularity and recognizability, 70.3 is a bit more esoteric and not as well known as the 26.2.

Turn the stickers into magnets and then you can switch them out whenever you want!
I currently have a 70.3 "magnet" on the back of my car, but take it off every now and then. -

I was going to go down the path of putting them all on my car too. I've got 140.6 and 70.3. Was going to add the 26.2. My wife got on me and said that having all of those was tantamount to bragging.

I've no car, sadly.
So I'm going to get tats on my legs and feet since they carried me there.
Already got the 140.6 on my leg. Am thinking of putting a small 26.2 (or 50K) on my left foot and a small 70.3 on my right foot. Small because I'm a pansy and tattoos on the feet hurt, I hear.

I have a 26.2 on the back of my car because that's the farthest distance I've done. If/when I do a 70.3, I'll probably put both. I'd replace the 70.3 with a 140.6 if that day ever comes.

Seems to me, that once you've got a 140.6 sticker on your car, the 26.2 is rather irrelevant. -

My running friends ahave all done 26.2 and are more impressed with my 70.3. Most of my Tri friends have never done 26.2 unless they have done IM. That said ive done a couple 26.2 and I HIM. the 70.3 sticker is on my truck. It will be removed and replaced once ive done 140.6. That is the king of cool. -

No, just warning would-be thieves that this vehicle isn't worth stealing.
My wife got me 140.6, 26.2, and "How about a threesome" magnets. I've got the first two on the car.
Slightly off-track, my wife drew an M-dot and wrote my finishing time on the rear windows of our car (a Taurus wagon) for the 2200 mile trip home from Idaho last year.
