Bumper Stickers, Decals

SSG Todd G. had me researching today. I have a Cabriolet convertible that I have decked out with stickers because I'm a dork. The cops call my little vehicle "the hippy car".
I've seen some great ones. What decals or stickers have you seen that like or despise?

Here's my beat up car in all its eclectic glory:

I personally tend to avoid bumper stickers that announce my veteran status, my stance on politics, religion or firearms, and identifying features of my family. Therefore, my daily-drivers do not have any stickers, especially not the "stick family" collections. Plus, my wife says no. ;)

That said, my hunting truck is festooned with OIF vet stickers, "My Son is a New Hunter," various coffee shops, etc. I figure if I'm out hunting, people would be less likely to mess with my beat-up old Chevy if it's pretty clear that I'm a highly-caffeinated armed veteran who likely has backup in the form of a teenaged son...

SGT Private RallyPoint Member, I always liked this one. It always seemed to appear on big, slow trucks that couldn't be passed!

I used to have a metal plaque bumper sticker EGA. Now I just keep it clear with a FL USMC plate. People don't need free intel on me in general, but the odds of me being pulled by a cop that like Marines is far greater than an AQ sympathizer scoping me out and trying his luck.

All I can say is that you have a Mighty Fine Lic. plate there.
Next time you get your Ok drivers lic renewed take your DD214 in and you can get in the upper Left corner a flag and the word VETERN under it. Any Business that gives Vet discounts will see that when you for get to tell the business, like Bass Pro.

I enjoy reading bumper stickers and trying to figure out what hell someone is trying to spell on their license plate.

I was visiting my sister and her Army husband in Germany in 1973. I saved money and my parents bought the tickets for me to tour Europe as a graduation present.

Anyway, they had a 68 Mustang and of course the hippy movement was still kicking. I had bought large 8" colorful Dailey (flower power) decals and gave them to my sister when I arrived. We had fun placing them neatly all over that car. It was GROOVY MAN. One day we were driving to another base to he to a bigger PX/BX and just as we pulled into the parking space an MP pulled up behind us with his lights on.

He stated that the Flower Decals on her car were not appropriate and needed to be removed. He did give us a week to do it. He checked back and we had to prove we had removed them.

On the same trip another base and time I was wearing my fathers old Army Jacket. Not even standard ussue and very old. I was stopped again because I had LONG HAIR and I was wearing a military item. I was told to take off the jacket and take to our car and leave it there. I was a civilian and not authorized to wear any military clothing PERIOD.
NARLY DUDE!

Just sometimes that's the way it is!!!

SGT Private RallyPoint Member Cabriolet means Convertible in french, that's why the name of the car that is basically a convertible GTI. Sorry, I'm a cars enthusiast. Answering the main question, I just have a Puerto Rican flag sticker on my car.
