Today I saw a Honda Accord on which someone had stuck a “Magnum V8” badge from a Dodge. ---

Even better if they’d shoehorned a Magnum V8 engine in there too. Sadly that sort of hop-up stuff has largely been killed by pollution control efforts and car computerization. OTOH the other day a 1970s muscle car drove past while I was sitting near the street. The stench of his unburned fuel lingered even after his throaty sound had faded from my hearing. Not a good thing for millions upon millions of cars to have done / be doing. Better that we’re past that. ---

I saw one this week that said “Defund Paw Patrol”. I’ve managed to come up with four theories. It’s a reference I’m missing. ICE or some other unpopular agency has been nicknamed Paw Patrol and this is their way of saying “Defund ICE”. It’s supposed to be ironic. Other people are saying “Defund ICE” so they are satirizing this by calling for the defunding of a fictional group. It’s anti public television. They’re saying public television, including shows like Paw Patrol, shouldn’t be getting government money. It’s a personal statement. They’re parents whose children watch endless episodes of Paw Patrol and they want it to stop. ---

Back in the 1980’s Wendy’s gave out bumper stickers with their “Where’s the beef?” slogan. I saw one where a wisenheimer car owner had cut the letter “r” from a second sticker and placed it over the letter “f” on the sticker that was on his back bumper. This changed the question to “Where’s the beer?” ---

Ah. you reminded me, back in the 80s Wisconsin had a tourism promotion with bumper stickers that said ESCAPE TO WISCONSIN Human nature being what it is, we soon started seeing ESCAPE WISCONSIN Followed by the more creative souls combining the free stickers into more humorous arrangements such as ESCAPE TO SIN IN WISCONSIN and my favorite RACE TO WIN IN WISCONSIN ---

If we’re talking about modified bumper stickers, I once saw one of those “Student Driver” stickers edited with a Sharpie so that it read “Stud Driven”. ---

I’ve told the story before, but I was late high school to early college when a huge fad came out for bumper stickers that were white background and said > I ❤ [whatever] with the words in a black bold simple font. Very readable. So I heart New York, I heart my beagle, I heart my kids, etc. The I heart my [dog breed] ones were especially popular. At some print shop someplace I encountered circular white stickers depicting a silver-colored wood screw pointed 45 degrees up the right and sized to cover the hearts on the typical bumper stickers. So kinda like this 🪠 if you put obvious coarse threads on the handle and sharpen the right end. My pals and I customized an awful lot of I heart my dog breed bumper stickers and a fair number of other ones where it made sense. > I 🪠 my dachsund ---

Another bumper sticker that was commonly modified, at least regionally, were those for Bear Valley Ski Resort in the Central Sierras. They used to have bumper stickers that just said “Ski Bear!”, which frequently became “Ski Bare!” ---

Virginia has a tourism slogan “Virginia is for lovers”, and there were bumper stickers reading “VA IS FOR LOVERS”. I’ve seen a variant that reads “VD IS FOR LOVERS”.
