I need to take more pics like this. As you recall I was trying to initialize a contest focusing on cars with stickers. Maybe I should try again.

Ah… “cars stink ride a bike…”
I wonder how well the pollution controls work on this ’89 Toyota Turdcel?
Classic hipocracy.
(And no – I don’t drive an SUV.)
I find the license plate soothing. That, combined with the stickers, could cut down on road rage, or not:

Consider this one as a contender for the bumper-sticker prize.
I find it curious that there’s a sticker with the star of David and another sticker that says ‘Free Palestine’.
Here in Knoxville, TN all the cars (SUV’s) have jesus, rapture and bush stickers. They still believe in that stuff here.
During the 04 election I saw a Ford 150 with a huge sticker covering the entire tailgate that said “John Kerry is a Communist.”
I carry my camera around and see if I can catch a crazy one.
The following is from observations gained in the Southwest, where bumper sticker mania seems to be rife.
People with a lot of bumper stickers seem to fall in three groups: left wing, right wing, or religious. Religion is sometimes mixed in with wingnuttiness of either kind. There are a few Libertarians or anarchists out there that succumb to bumper stickers, but they aren’t as common, so I don’t see them as much.
Why go for an expensive paint job, use bumper stickers instead. As a plus, there is no waxing.
I once worked for a car dealer as a detailer. I always hated cars that were traded in with a whole bunch of bumper stickers on them. It was my job to remove them.
I like the bumper stickers for presidential campaigns. Ten years later the bumper sticker promoting the candidates is still there. Definitely a sign of a lazy owner.
That car need to be pimped!
Where is Xzibit when you need him! 🙂

Because you know full well the owner of this Tercel covered in political bumper sticker is also the kind of upwardly mobile urban professional who can afford to drop a wad of cash on a new Prius…
Minus the excessive stickers, that looks like any car I might have owned in my early 20s…
On the other hand – If you consider that those stickers cost about 1 to 2 bucks each, maybe the guy could afford a slightly better used car…
FYI — as is the case with most of these Berkeley cars it’s actually a woman who drives this thing. Typical for sure. I need to be back on the lookout for these maniacs.
The stickers are covering the rust. Pretty soon this car will be made out of stickers.
Here is one I saw and had to try to get a shot with my phone while driving.
Each of those stickers adds 2 horsepower to the car.
The ultimate cell phone story I have:
I was in Puerto Rico on a trip with family, and I saw a Cop on a motorcycle using a cell phone without a helmet. I wanted to follow him and watch him crash
When I was in high school, 60’s, my friend would put an “STP” sticker over every rust spot on his “56 Ford, needless to say, it turned into a giant commercial. As a matter of fact, he had a floor board made from an S&H Green Stamp Sign…
John will now what I am talking about…
