What does your vehicle say? Does it offer insight to those who are following you in traffic? Are you serving up laughter? Are you making a political or religious statement that you want folks to ponder or agree with? I had no idea what the Chevy in front of me the other day was trying to convey, but I did laugh when I read "What if the Hokey Pokey IS what its all about?"
I was concerned as to whether or not the driver of an old rusted green pick-up truck on HWY 45 late one night was being serious...the bumper sticker read "I buy cheap beer so I can afford expensive ammunition!"
And, like you, I have seen my share of crude bumper stickers...the kind that make me sad that my young daughter has to see when she is riding with me.
I once had someone slap a bumper sticker on my car without my permission...adding to my anger over that incident was the fact that it promoted a talk-radio host I consider nutty and offensive.
Every red 2007 Honda CR-V pretty much looks the same when you drive up behind them...except mine has that Surf Shop sticker (I don't surf, but the sticker was thrown in the bag along with some T-shirts I purchased on vacation one year...and I really enjoy my vacations to Florida.) It does make picking out my vehicle in a parking lot easier...there being quite a few red CR-Vs in Bloomington.
My vehicle says, I suppose, that I like surfing (not so much), or surf shops (they do have some really great T-shirts), and southwest Florida (that I do!). Since there is only one sticker my vehicle might also say that I don't have an agenda to push all that much, or I am bland...maybe boring, or that I prefer for you to see my nice red paint job uncluttered.
Probably I should think about two additional stickers: Notre Dame and New York Yankees.
If you send me one or both of those, I will jazz up my vehicle's message.
