Give us a little snapshot of what it’s like where you live, at least as experienced by the folks who express themselves with their cars. In no particular order, here’s mine for Gainesville Florida: 1. Go Gators! (Anything to do with the Gators, really) 2. Sorry I’m late, I was at [Satchels](http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g34242-d645067-Reviews-Satchel_s_Pizza-Gainesville_Florida.html) (A few variations on this one as well) 3. Confederate flags 4. Salt Life 5. Jesus fish, some Darwins too. I know it’s not actually a bumper sticker, but I don’t care if you don’t. Now tell me what you usually have to read while you’re sitting at the light! ---

1. Something Teahadist. 2. [KFRG](http://kfrog.cbslocal.com/) radio 3. Something else anti-Obama. 4. Student of Excellence at a local elementary school. 5. Co-exist. Just a confused look at the redneck part of SoCal. ---

Way fewer. Of course, 85% of the ones there were boiling-mad red-state witticisms, and about 85% of the cars seemed to have them. Blue state, my ass. ---

Bumper stickers have really fallen out of favor around here in the last five years or so. What you do see are the removable magnetic emblems that are mostly: 1. A High School 2. A Church 3. A College Occasionally you’ll see and old Volvo loaded up with left-wing slogans, but the stickers are as old as the car - at least 15 years old. (Ex. - “Wouldn’t it be great if the Air Force had to have a bake sale to buy a new bomber and the schools blah, blah, blah…” More rarely, you’ll see a bunch of right-wing Tea Party stuff, usually on a pickup. There’s one I see occasionally with a huge “Where’s The Birth Certificate?” sticker along with a dozen other similar but smaller stickers. You can see it from a mile away, which is good, because the guy driving is really, really, old and probably shouldn’t be on the road. ---

In order of how often I notice them: 1. NRA 2. Stick figure families with occasional parodies. 3. Various anti Obama stickers. 4. Browning (firearms manufacturer) logo. 5. Various “My truck is better than your truck” stickers. Honorable mention, those marathon and half marathon distance stickers. ---

I don’t know the last time I saw a bumper sticker. Probably close to 2 decades ago. (It was a Jesus Fish.) ---

Pick any 5 variants of: “I’m Holier Than Thou” and you’ll have a good idea. Throw in one or two bragging about a kid doing well in a third-rate elementary school. ---
