So these window and bumper stickers are becoming a huge 'fashion statement' these days along the lines of.....
silly boys, _________are for girls or silly boys, girls_________, too.

Well the other day I was at the store and really had to reserve myself not to write a note for the owner of such a window sticker.

This little dodge neon's sign said something to the effect of
"silly boys, girls hunt, to!"

Okay, you wanna make a comment and jab at "boys", great whatever makes you happy; but you might want to make sure you use proper grammar and word usage. :rolleyes:

So Boost nearly wrecked our car laughing at me, for the note regarding grammatical error on their window that I wanted to leave.

Have you seen anything goofy on a car that really made you wanna respond?

Just saw one today that said...

"My airman is cuter than yours"

Given the looks of the driver it would be a strech to envision her airman being model material, but that's just being mean on my part. :rolleyes:

"Powered by FORD" always got a chuckle out of me...I mean using the words FORD and power in the same phrase!

Saw a sticker on a car at Lejeune once, I have always remembered it:
"Marines do it better" then in small print below it:
"Just ask a Sailors Wife"

Hot chicks drive black cars

Another one I saw recently on the back of a black *gasp* Saturn. Now what the correlation is between hot chicks and black cars is, I don't know. But there you have it.

Why would anyone be proud to drive a saturn?

I thought the same thing. Which reminds me of yet another one I saw some time ago on the back of a Saturn, but this one read...

"Thank God Saturn doesn't make planes."

Just a guess here, but I am thinking this person doesn't think to highly of Saturn's craftsmanship. :)

it drives me nuts to see any car/truck on golf cart rims.

Crap, I had one I saw the other day that I was thinking was a good candidate for this thread.....but now thanks to LSD's license plate boarder comment, I cannot think of what it was.
Perhaps it will come back to me???

I saw a sticker of a fist with a raised middle finger on the back of a kanji plate K-car today. I chuckled, because it was a Japanese looking driver. heh.

HA they probably didn't even know what it meant:thumbup:

My wife didn't know what the middle finger meant until I explained it to her.

Funny off topic story (I don't know why you reminded me of this socal). I was at my wife's cousin's house, who is loaded and probably has one of the biggest houses on okinawa. Well, we all got drunk and her cousin-in-law loves to practice english so he was practicing on me. He asked me if I was religious and I said no. Well then he said "Oh, well my name is Jesus." I don't know, maybe he was checking if I would be offended if he said that. Well about 15 minutes later, we were talking and there was a slight pause in the conversation. Her cousin-in-law busts out with "My friends call me christ." I don't know why he said it but I just couldn't stop laughing! About an hour after that he went into his room and took a nap because he was drunk and tired, came back after an hour. That guy is hilarious, can't wait to get drunk with him again!

Anyways, sorry it just popped in my head.

A local Christian church used to give out "Our God Is Real" bumper stickers. Thought that was a nice slap at other religions.

Car names are nice too..

Moco (Spanish for snot), Platz (German for sit), Levin (Old English for lightning), Trueno (Spanish for thunder), etc..

The Suzuki Carry used to have only a "S", followed by the "Carry"....."S Carry"
Now I also drive a "SCarry"

Scarry...

I like that bumper sticker that says "I suffer from C.R.S......can't remember shit". Usually on the back bumper of some ol' crusty dude's pickup truck.

Back in the early 90's, I was into the street racing scene on Okinawa. I remember pulling through a parking lot with a few locals and their cars all lined up. A couple of them had stickers across the back window that said "Racing Negros" :confused: Strange.

I have seen many funny bumper stickers but my son and I saw a car with big eyelashes on the headlights and a really beat up van with a big band aid down the side of it that had OUCH written on it!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the "Baby on Board" or any sticker based on it.
Not sure which comedian I'm supposed to credit this with, but, "Baby on board? Oh, I'll try extra hard to not run into that car, then."

Maybe those are just a sign of parental pride. Or maybe explaining why they aren't driving fast enough for YOU.

Which leads me to ask about the complaints that kei car (yellow plates) drivers drive too slow for the jet jockeys on Rt 58. That's BS - those cars will do 110 kph on the flat easily and I don't recall any steep hills on 58 either. Maybe they're just not late for work.

Some of the "baby on board" stickers in Japan actually serve a purpose. They offer an extra insurance policy in case you are hit with your child in the car. I don't remember the details though.

How'd you know I speed excessively?!
I don't mind going 20 under on my hour long drives to and from work, though. Driving time is me-and-music time.

I forgot that there was such a thing as "parental pride." Don't know where I got the idea that all pregnancies were kind of an "Oh no, what have we done?" kind of thing.

I had no idea about the baby on board insurance. I might have to look that up.

"If you don't like my smoking, DON'T BREATHE!"

I remember years ago when personalized license plates came out. A Corvette in front of me had a license plate that read:
4Q2
Don't ask me how that one got past the Department of Transportation.
