Do you have any in your car?
What do you think of them?
I didn't have any until recently. Now I have two. I have donated to one of the presidential candidates and I received these stickers in the mail as a thank you from his campaign. I love having them in the car.
My only concern is that I park in a lot across the street at work and I know some coworkers have seen my stickers. I'm not going to remove them; freedom of expression and all that. But it's strange to know they know who I'm voting for and what my ideas are.
It's funny because one of them says "Honk for a political revolution" and other drivers have done exactly that. So I'm like, why are they honking at me until I remember the sticker and then I wave and they wave back.

I don't have any. I have to go out to client locations frequently and don't care to broadcast elements of my personal life to the world at large. Plus, to me anyways, after awhile bumper stickers get scuffed, worn-out and tacky looking and detract from the condition of the vehicle...provided one keeps their vehicle in good condition!

I never put bumper stickers on my car. I think it looks tacky. (And my pretty girl isn't a bumper sticker kind of car.)

I don't have any yet but when I find a decent skull to put on there, I will. I am also thinking about flame decals for the sides. Love me some flames.
I had a United We Stand sticker on the crapbox after 9/11 but that was it. Just never bothered to get anything else. It is fascinating to see some of these cars with so many stickers on them that it makes me wonder if the stickers are holding the car together.

BTW, can someone explain to me those cars with the eyelashes? I see them mostly on VW bugs around here and they are the stupid things I have ever seen!!! Why? I don't wear that much mascara, why would my car?!?!?!?

Better than the testicles hanging off of a trailer hitch. I've decided some wives hang them there as a warning to their wandering husbands. ;-)

I have gotten a bunch of them in a box somewhere, the funny kind.<br>On my old truck I had one saying "Stop yelling! I drive just as bad as you do!" but I don't have any on now.<br>I can't put anything political or otherwise on my truck since is my work vehicle and these days people get offended by pretty much anything.<br>We had one on our car, a democrat support sticker but that one I believe my wife put it on just to be a pisser. You see we live in an area that's heavily republican.<br>Many of them smiled, shook their heads and then asked me "how and why" but none of them had any aggressive or inappropriate reactions.<br>That was one time when being a foreigner with an Eastern European accent came in handy.<br>It turns out people fear what they don't understand. Go figure!

No, I don't think I could bring myself to put a sticker on my Jeep (I would be worried about how to get it all off in the future) Although I have seen some hilarious ones and if they were in magnetic form I would slap on in a heartbeat We should invent that you guys! Magnetic bumper stickers!

We don't have them on our cars. I think it would be too much effort to get them off when they aged, etc.
I do have a magnetic flag thing that my husband stuck on. It's not my thing, but whatever.

The American Academy of Actuaries once sent me one saying, "Have you Hugged your Actuary today?" I taped it up in my rear window- I don't want to paste them on a bumper where you'll never get all the gunk off. Other than that- no, never.
My Dad was absolutely against junk in or on cars. The one exception was when he pasted a bumper sticker on his work car: "United Steelworkers of America say: Buy American". He worked for Republic Steel at the time, in management, but 30 years post-retirement, they always buy American-branded cars.

I don't think I've ever put one on a vehicle. I'm in the thinking they look tacky camp, although, if my son ever makes Eagle Scout, I might have to get one of those "I'm proud of my Eagle Scout" ones, it's one of the few things I'd really want to advertise to the world...although I might just tape it to the rear window so as to avoid the clean off when it gets old. A political one seems like a good way to get your car keyed!

I have a few of the oval stickers from half-marathons, triathlons, etc., indicating distances that I have completed. I have a hatchback, so they go on the window, not the bumper. Other than that, no. I think anything else is tacky. Mine are bragging.

I have one, a magnetic one, that says "Wag more, bark less" I got it at the local pet store I never use adhesive ones b/c they can really mess up the paint. And I don't put political ones since I don't want my car keyed by jerks. Hell, I didn't dare use a political yard sign during the last presidential election for fear of firebombing. I have a yard sign now for the local council race and that's caused me enough trouble. But, what the hell, I contributed to the guy's campaign and that's public record on the 'Net so I am screwed anyway. Going to a wedding tonight and have received word that someone I've never met is also attending and is gunning for me b/c of my choice of candidates. It's cash bar so who knows what will happen. I love deciphering the little people and pets on the rear window that say "I have a spouse, four offspring, two dogs and a cat" WTF?

I know they cost more, and they are more easily stolen, but I love magnets for cars. All the sports team in my city have one and it's great. One of the new teams here puts magnets on every car in the parking lots while they're at the game.

I don't have any, I don't think anyone will stop you and give you anything for having them but someone might key your car if they disagree with the politics/sports team on the sticker.
My ex insisted having them on her car specifically a pro choice one. At least I got her to get the magnetic ones so I could take them off if for some reason I needed to take her car to work.

I finally painted a Boston Red Sox "B" on my car because my magnetic stickers kept getting stolen! Just got a brand new car. It's pristine. Gonna stay that way for a while.

Awesome!! That and the trex eating the sticker family.

I have a couple magnetic ones: a rainbow peace/heart (it encompasses everything that is socially liberal, LOL), one for our annual vacation spot, a couple of figures playing the sports the kids play, and then one true bumper sticker: Caveat: say it out loud as if He is at the top of a long set of stairs and is wagging his finger at you like your mother used to do: Don't make me come down there. God Get it? It isn't so much religious as a hysterical retro warning to quit all our arguing and fighting and find a way to get along quick...or else.

My ex insisted having them on her car specifically a pro choice one. At least I got her to get the magnetic ones so I could take them off if for some reason I needed to take her car to work. MIL had her car plastered with lots of pro choice and other far left political causes and candidates. After a couple incidents, I refused to be driven anywhere in the car. Some people are nuts. I have one magnet that says "my dog is my co pilot" and another on my other car that says "if something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing". It's a picture of a dog with about 10 tennis balls.

We still have some old beaters around here with Ross Perot candidacy stickers. I feel a bit old when I have to explain to the younger set who that was. I've taken to telling them he was kinda like Trump, just with smaller hair and bigger ears.

I saw one recently that really resonated. Are you familiar with the small green one that says: No farms, No food. This one that looked very similar said:
