New Kind Of Bumper Sticker

-rant on
Heard a local preacher on a half-hour talk show tonight. He talked of a company that made bumper stickers. The company made blank bumper stickers.
The reasoning was 'We sell them to people who don't want to get involved!'
Thankfully there is a world of others who want to be involved.
Thanks to all of y'all for being part of a good thing. You do touch other people's lives!

I would say mostly reflects the owner's true feelings. Some serious some jokingly. I see "Proud parent of an A student", but then see the sometimes "My D student whooped your A students arse". Saw an older man in a small pickup truck with stickers all over. "Viet Nam Vet". That's cool. But on his door, right below his elbow hanging over the window was one that said "Ammo is expensive. There will be no warning shots!". Probably a joke but nowadays not a cool joke! I know I thought of one, because of drivers here, in half size letters "If you can read this Get off my Back". But then people would probably get closer to read it or do it out of spite.
A more permanent way of voicing true feelings here is the 'speciality' plates available when registering a vehicle.
Save the Dolphins
Save the Manatees
Space Exploration
Adopt a Kid
Football teams (Seminoles, Gators, 'Canes)
There's a huge selection and it cost an extra fee to get one. Money supposedly goes to a non-profit supporting the cause. And petitions are started to get a 'subject' plate started.

Maybe it's all part of us taking our freedom of expression to a extreme.

 

The kind of bumper stickers I see most often are favorite sports teams either college or pros and political stickers.

 

Should've seen that coming!

 

Bumper stickers in Australia are usually funny although they are less popular these days.
Some I have seen and liked are

There are many more but they are too rude to post here

 

This reminds me of...

Joffa will know about the old days.....back in the 80's I had a sandman panelvan with my favourite bumper sticker:

"Dont laugh, your daughter may be inside"

 

In the 1980s, I had a CF Bedford van with wide wheels, body kit and a really hot 327 Chev V8 and the two stickers I had on the back were your one and also

If You See The Van Rockin'
Don't Come Knockin'

 

Mine has my union local's bug and says simply, "This vehicle paid for with union wages". I'm debating adding one on the other side which also carries the bug and says, "Proud to be a union stagehand".

I don't do political stickers or anything else related to current events, since I tend to keep my cars longer than those things are on people's minds.

 

Got me!

 

I saw one that said "Back off or I'll test my breaks"

 

Along that line, see this......... and some of the comments, too....

Tim, don't take any of those pills!!!

 

People with bumper stickers are like people with tattoos..
They don't care if you don't have one.

 

Hmmmm.........gee Dave, your real problem is the bumper sticker is nearly as wide as the car lolol

 

I understand that! I did not like that the dealership put their logo on the back of mine. I removed it and the first oil change they put it back. It is only about 3 inches high and 5 inches long, just letters, but I don't want it there.

 

The same. I don't put stickers on any of my vehicles, and it aggravates me that some dealerships do.

 

In California you are forced to put stickers on to use the carpool lane for clean air vehicles.

 

Here are two two that describe me.

Legally they have to be on the paint, but there are a lot of posts on the forums that rear and side window display does not get pulled over. We have three stickers to display; left, right and rear.
