Glad to oblige, Gundy. 
One of my favorite license-plate related stories: there was this rich old lady that lived in my hometown, and she had two really nice older Mercedes sedans. Both of them had those license plate frames that read “My other car is a Mercedes.” Apparently she didn’t get the joke.
Oh, yes. That drives me batshit.
Actually, it was more that the alternator used to go out on it. Had to go walkies to get some cold water sometimes.
Not really on topic, but the other day I saw a sticker (on a utility pole) that read:
Its placement at the corner of a busy intersection, along an arterial trucking route, seemed cruelly suggestive.
Yeah, but my point was that the sticker wouldn’t do anything, because other people wouldn’t know that…
How about leaving a note on the dashboard with time, date, and “Gone to get some water for the alternator, back in x min” on?

Not quite the gearhead, eh Shade? 
:smack:
I have not gotten around to putting any stickers on my car. I guess it is about tie to get the
Ollie in '88 Bumper sticker
and the nice window sticker that says
Miskatonic University Alumni
While I was working at a U.S. Gov’t office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota from 1999-2001, I would see an awful lot of the ‘Save the Farm, Export Reagan’ bumper stickers on old pickup trucks in our parking lot. While the pickups were certainly old enough to have been in farm use during the time the stickers were popular in the eighties, a lot of the stickers themselves seemed, well, pretty new. I always liked to think that in a lot of farm houses across the midwest, there was a stack of these stickers, waiting to be slapped on when the old one was looking a little worn.
Hey, hey! My house may not have the best reputation, but there are no crabs here, sir!
I saw this young man at a bank get out of his pickup with his maybe 3 year old daughter.
But the back of the pickup was covered with obscene bumper stickers!
“Lick them and they will cum!” was the one that I remember.
I just kept thinking, what about when this little girl learns to read and asks you what those mean?
Shudder.
Honk if you love peace and quiet !
No, you needed to pour water on the damn alternator.
No, it made no sense. It was a replacement alternator, too. '86 Topaz. It was fine when cold. But you drive it five miles, turn it off, and it needed about a pint of water poured over it to restart the car.
Mechanic said that was pretty much the only way to fix it, and the car only had to last six months more, so… well, it lasted.
Admittedly, the sticker preceeded the issue with the car. It just pretty much described my feelings about the heap.
i’ve got nothing against britney spears but i think the funniest bumper sticker i’ve seen read:
“honk if you like britney spears, then drive your car into the nearest tree”
My personal favorite is “Why Be Normal?” on the front bumper of a car
Thank goodness. I thought that’s what you said, and I never stopped to consider if it made sense. I retract my “:smack:”
Anyway, it’s a good sticker
Further sticker favorites include “Honk if your nose is blocked” and, in red, “If this sign is blue, you’re going too fast.”
“I’d Rather Be Driving”
Saw a bumper sticker on a pickup truck with Idaho plates the other day:
“My boss is an Austrian Painter”

Surreal moment: Seeing a Yugo with a PIMP sticker.

That was beautiful, man.
