After a friend telling me they they were charged $400 for every number sticker on their car when they traded it in for the hassle of removing them, I decided nope. I do think they're tacky as well.

I only do magnetic ones or license plate holders. Right now I just have a license plate holder that says I am an alumnight of my college.
I had a magnetic mickey head with 2p13 marathon but I lost it after a car wash.

I have one on my truck that's getting a little faded, it says "strip mining prevents forest fires"
I have a Mickey Mouse sticker on my car window. Around here I seem to be seeing less and less of them.

I really don't want someone keying my car in parking lot or whatever, so I don't.

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? The best one I've seen has the dad in jail on the stickers. Awesome!! That and the trex eating the sticker family. I've seen the T-Rex one, but never the dad-in-jail one; that's awesome! I like the one of the single woman with about ten cats.

I live in one of those beach areas where a lot of people have bumper stickers with their beaches initials on their cars (HB, LB, PB, OB, etc...). I had a really subtle bumper sticker with my neighborhood's initials. The color matched the paint on my bumper, so it wasn't obvious or offensive to anyone. Then I got rear ended and had to get a new bumper. I can't find that sticker anywhere, and I don't like any of the other ones enough to put them on my car. When I am stuck in traffic, I like it when I am behind someone with a lot of humorous bumper stickers (especially if they are either inoffensive or supporting things I like).

I didn't think I was going to be able to count all the cats before the light changed!

I consider a bumper sticker on a car a sacrilege. I really wanted NOZ racing fuel stickers to put on my hybrid BUT I cannot do it. No sticking stuff anywhere. I could redneck them with scotch tape.

I only put one on my car once and it was a political bumper sticker. During my career days, I couldn't put bumper stickers on my car because I went to clients.
Came out to my car one morning and the bumper sticker had been removing by a pocket knife and there was a gash in my bumper. Called the sheriff and he was surprised because it was usually the other party's candidate they usually got calls for. Last time I will put a bumper sticker on my car.
I had no trouble getting what was left of the sticker off the car.

Well, D.C.'s license plate is its own worthy bumper sticker! (If you don't know, the D.C. license plate bears the motto "Taxation without Representation".)

My last was in 1967 and said "LSD not LBJ", we lived on Sunset strip in Hollywood. We went to Mexico with that on and weren't stopped.

"Old, but paid /off/" on DH's car when it and I stayed at my parents' for a summer. I needed the car to go to work. It was 20 years old and somewhat shabby, but ran well. Both I and my parents got comments on it not being new. In that area most people drove company leases. (My parents were some of the exceptions.)
Else, no. I don't want to invite getting scratches or other trouble.

I met my ISO because of his bumper stickers they were "don't complain, camp in the rain" and "I would rather be fishing". I went into a party and asked who's truck it was. Just a couple of weeks ago we were camping and it was raining and I told him "don't complain camp in the rain". So you see bumper stickers are sometimes good they won him me.

OK, so reading this thread, I am getting ideas on how TLoony's mom could use the bumper sticker idea to her advantage when it comes to finding a boyfriend.... . Originally, I was thinking a banner plane would be better, but it's way too expensive.

My cousin was given a warning instead of a ticket for running stop sign once because of his Jesus fish bumper sticker.

I had two magnetic ones inside the cab of my old 67 Ford. They were from the days with my golden retriever. One said "so Many Cats, So Few Recepies" the other: "Cats, taste just like chicken" Had to finally part with the truck this year....but I kept the magnets.

My favorite bumper sticker I ever saw said "God, please save me from your followers"
I have a magnetic "science" rocket ship that plays off the popular Jesus fish style. My husband has a Flying Spaghetti Monster decal in his car.

I have commitment issues, so I would never want to affix an adhesive sticker to my car (same reason I have never pulled the trigger on a tattoo).
In the past I did affix a bumper sticker to a magnet and put that on the car, and I would maybe do that again. I would never put anything politically charged on there though - it just seems like an invitation for trouble. Plus, I drive my car to work - and I think mixing political/social views and the workplace is not a great idea.
I just stick to wearing slogans I like on t-shirts.

I used to have a Phoenix Coyotes decal in the rear window, replaced it once after I lost part in the car wash, then gave up when the second one went.
I don't think I could ever do anything political. I'm insanely private and don't even like to tell my friends and family how I vote.

I'd like to find two stick figures that represent DH and I, so I went looking on the Internet. Not found them yet, but did find some other funny ones (and a few that are not PG-rated ) my sister's stick family is zombies, complete with zombie cats. she needs to update, since they now have one more cat and a dog now, I will ask where she got them if you'd like. sent from my electronic distraction

Let me know if you find them.
