A friend gave me a bumper sticker that reads “Republicans for Voldemort.” I display it proudly in my back window next to the “Hogwarts” one.

On the road yesterday there was an old, beat-up Chevy Celebrity with part of the front bumper missing, a number of rust holes, dents, scratches, etc. I’ve seen cars in pictures from Baghdad that were in better condition. The bumper sticker read:

YUP, IT’S GOT A HEMI

Gotta admire the guy’s sense of humor. 😃

We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile.

The sticker had the MS logo on a borg cube.

OK, this is an old one, but it’s still my all time favorite bumper sticker ever.

**In case of Rapture, can I have your car?**

I was behind a truck recently when I noticed a small amount of text arranged on the upper-left portion of its tailgate. Upon further inspection, it was a small bumper sticker bearing the following inscription:

**up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start**

Awesome.

In a related vein, I saw a sticker that said “Where do you want to go _tomorrow_?” with the “microsoft finger” pointing to heaven. It was a promotional bumpersticker for a Billy Graham promotional speaking gig. I’m usually down on “preachy” stuff but I thought that was actually pretty clever.

Not a bumper sticker, per se:  
On a beat up little Festiva, sitting outside a lumber yard, the guy drove it was using it obviously as a mobile mini tool shed for construction.

Where the name plate on it should have read: Festiva. Had \*\*Dodge Ram \*\*.

It was very funny to see that.

Not really a bumper sticker, but there’s a picture floating around online of a Lamborghini with a vanity plate: “PKTCHGE”.
