I never put any bumper stickers on my cars.

I might consider a SF one though!

Well now there is a web site for people who want to stick right wing stickers all over their SUV's and Mercedes Benzes.

No, I'm not tired of the liberal bumper stickers. I get a kick out of reading lips and seeing the facial expressions on the people behind me at traffic lights.

Here are my latest fav's:

Get rid of the LaRouche sticker while you're at it...

Sorry H-town, but. IIRC, Obama won the democratic primary in a landslide in GA, and got more votes than did Huckabee and McCain combined (Huck won, again iirc).

My opinion of them is similar. I am generally more careful when behind someone that has a lot of bumper stickers on their car--my experience is that it is usually a kid or a grownup that acts like a kid and thinks in cliches.

I like bumper stickers. They give me something to read besides watch the road. That is soooo boring. Black with some white and yellow lines.

Dang, gotta find another southern state. What's NC like these days?

I'm not much for bumperstickers either. One that would be funny and applicable to a diesel W123 would be something along the lines of "0-60: eventually".

I, however, am sick of 'Red Wings' bumper stickers ~the mere thought of and therefore~ 0 are too many.

According to a recent study you are correct; cars with bumper stickers are more likely to have road raging drivers!

Personaly I think they are in very poor taste on good cars, like Mercedes. Cheap cars likea Chevy or VW go nuts, but not on a MB.

The only bumper stickers I actually put on my cars were "historical" ones that went with the car.

examples : "JFK ALL THE WAY " on the 1957 Chevy and "Nixon '68" on the 1967 GTO

I just found that web site and figured why is it that the lefties can put on the nastiest bumperstickers that defame the President (like him or not he IS the President) and turn every Republican into Darth Vader, yet you do not see the right-wingers doing the same to the lefties? Are right-wingers without senses of humour? I think I have one...

Can I retrieve this quote in the future? How about for the past? You missed my "1993" comment, I guess.
