I just bought this non-descript grey Chevy Astro van at a govt. auction. I feel really cool when I’m driving it - kind of in a reverse-sexy way - but when I see my reflection in store windows, I realize I just look like a damn soccer mom. And - worse - I do drive it to soccer games. Anyway, I’m not usually accused of caring what others think, but this is too much. I need an esoteric, edgy slogan for the side of the van. I’m thinking something like “Department of Neurological Archeology” or something. Maybe in Spanish. Any other ideas?
i saw a van once that had “Caution: Human Retinas Inside” painted on the back. Does that work?
There’s always “The Mystery Machine”.
Since it’s a non-descript gov’t vehicle, perhaps a suitably mysterious abbreviation on the side? Something like “ILB”,maybe, I don’t know. Work a few b’s and f’s and maybe a ‘U.S.’ in there, it may look cool.

How about “If this van is a-rockin’, knock anyway”
or “University of New Mexico Department of Oceanography”
(or suicidal…whichever)

Slightly better: “If this van is a-rockin’, there’s room for one more.”
Woo hoo! How about Ministry of Universal Embarassment? I got booted off, as I recall, while posting that other thread and never thought it got through. Just thought I’d try again. Anyway, I’ll go lock the other one now…
I gotta say, after reading the other thread, that I love DoctorJ’s idea.
Lots of great ideas here. “My other Astro is a dog” is good for a bumper sticker, too. Maybe something with “SDSAB” (Straight Dope Science Advisory Board) in it for the door panel.
Paint it like a hippie van, call it “The Love Machine”, blare “Lowrider” all the time and get a bumper sticker that says “Don’t laugh, your daughter may be inside”
Have neat helvetica lettering that says:

Hm, working in the health field, I dunno if they’d have a sense of humor about this.
