How do you feel about bumper stickers? Are you a fan? What kind of bumper stickers do you have? How many? What compelled you to apply the ones you have?
If you don’t have any, why not? How do you feel about others’ bumper stickers?
For the poll, work-related stickers don’t count (“How is my driving?”), this is about bumper stickers you have voluntarily applied to your vehicle.
Regarding this and the “I have bumper stickers, but I did not put them there” poll option, that’s referring to a situation where maybe you purchased a used vehicle that already had bumper stickers applied to it.
I used to have a few.
One got me banned from parking in the driveway.
“No, I didn’t sell my soul to Satan but we did work out a rent to own deal”.
I like funny ones, I hate political ones.
I have some on my Jeep. One says ‘Talk nerdy to me’, followed by a white Apple apple. The other one is obsolete, and it looks like someone tried to tear it off. It says BUCK FUSH. I drew a silhouette of a Schweizer 300CB and had it made into a vinyl sticker. It’s centered at the bottom of the rear window. There’s a Group 3 Aviation vinyl sticker (with a Bell JetRanger silhouette) on each of the rear windows, in the lower-rear corner.
Most stickers I see on other cars are stupid. I don’t care if you’re in the NRA and you vote, or how many stick people are in your family, or if you have a little boy that pisses on [insert make of truck]. OTOH, other people probably don’t care if I flew helicopters or use a Mac. One guy in particular did care about my political sticker, as I was driving behind the Orange Curtain before Bush started his war. I thought his head was going to explode all over the inside of his shiny new Mustang. Other stickers I see make me laugh, and they do give me something to read on my long commutes. Dealer stickers annoy the hell out of me. If I were to buy a new car that had one, I’d make sure it wasn’t there when I bought it.
The Prius doesn’t have any stickers on it. I’d rather not put any on, but the way people drive up here I want to put an informational sticker on it: I use cruise control. So it must be you.
I have an AOPA sticker on the back of my motorcycle helmet.
Nothing on the bumper, but the rear window of my truck has a Buddha fish on one side and a “WWBD - What would Buffy do?” decal on the other. The car is unadorned.
I usually have one or two. For a long time I had Stupid People Shouldn’t Breed on my vehicle. I don’t think the people it was directed at understood what I was saying, though.
Technically they aren’t bumper stickers. Rather they are the oval window stickers for bragging. Mine say 13.1, 100 miles, 200 miles, and KATY Trail.
I had a simple “Obama 2008” sticker on my old car but it was totaled in an accident (the car, the sticker itself was fine). Didn’t replace it for 2012 and my new car remains stickerless.
I do not have any on my car, and in general I think they just make a car look bad. It’s even worse if it’s a bumper sticker that I see all the time like “My child is an honor student” or “Baby on Board” or some generic religious/anti-religious or political crap. That said, I do think bumper stickers can be interesting if someone has a whole bunch of them and do kind of fit the whole old van or stationwagon thing.
If I were to have bumper stickers, though, they would definitely be music related. Still, I’d prefer them to be window stickers, preferably static stickers, and I’d just have a few of my favorites rather than so many that only the biggest names stick out.
I believe in Murphy’s Corollary: Whatever bumper sticker you have the cop who pulls you over will feel the opposite.
Have a Marines sticker, he was Air Force & hated hauling you guys around. Have an Obama sticker on the left & a Romney sticker right (because you & your spouse have different views) & you’ll get pulled over by the one libertarian cop on the force. You can never get in trouble for not saying anything. Don’t make it harder to talk your way out of a ticket.
Nothing permanent. The right rear wing window has a KMHD (the local jazz station) applique, which can be easily removed. I cannot recall ever putting a bumper sticker on any of my cars ever.
I don’t do bumper stickers. I don’t care if other people do, though, and even find some amusing.
Oh, shoot. I should have read more carefully, since this is actually my situation but I already voted. None of my “nice” newer cars have them, but some of the old jalopies I’ve owned over the year have come with some pretty bumper stickers that I felt went with the car and so I left them on. I had an old 70’s former Forest Service pickup that had a bunch of cool old faded Smokey the Bear stickers, which I guess sort of falls under work-applied stickers. I’ve also bought multiple air-cooled VW’s that came with Grateful Dead stickers pre-applied. I don’t even particularly like the Dead, but on those it seems more like a fuzzy-dice type accessory that just goes with the car.
I have a nice car i spent a lot of money on, putting a bumper sticker on it would be ridiculous.
I used to put bumper stickers on my car, but I did not enjoy having my car keyed so I stopped (I had a Darwin fish back in the early nineties and somebody removed it with a screwdriver or similar implement). I have also noticed that I tend to react differently to cars trying to merge in front of me based upon their bumper stickers. I try, and mostly succeed, to control this tendency, but I would rather not have people reacting to me based on similar biases.
This. I often wonder why some people would ruin a nice car with a stupid “South of the Border” sticker, or one that’s just about as commonplace, especially when it was apparently stuck on there with zero effort in making it straight, unwrinkled or at least well positioned. Occasionally I’ll see one that’s amusing, but for the most part I equate them with a birdshit stain that someone paid to put there.
I don’t have too many views that can be neatly summed up in just a few words, nor do I have an interest in communicating with the public. I do my best to avoid the public.
I don’t mind seeing anyone else’s bumper stickers and some of them can be really funny (I especially love seeing the W '04 stickers, hilarious). But I don’t ever think I’ll put any on my car ever.
I don’t put them on my car because they end up looking really crappy. Plus I’ve never seen one that expressed something I’d be willing to commit to. 
I like funny or clever ones, but most that I see are mean-spirited, overly sappy, or just dumb. Stick what you want on your car - mine is unstuck.
The worst people on Earth are people who have election bumper stickers on their car… for elections that happened months or years ago. Even if it’s for someone I voted for.
The second worst people on Earth are the ones with those COEXIST bumper stickers. How about your ass coexist with my foot? Dumbass.
The third worst people on Earth are anyone else with a bumper sticker.
