    Why do people put on their cars all those idiotic pictures and slogans?

    Now we have here a serious pop culture / sociological problem to analyze today:

    I just thought about this while driving yesterday..

    Why the hell do people have the tendency to put on their cars all those shit corny slogans, silly pics or anything at all?

    Who in the right mind will put on his car all those phrases like... well you all know what kind of weird, embarassing, senseless idiotic things do people put up on their cars..

    Is that a neccessary reminder of that the person suffers from serious self esteem issues, therefore it can't loose any chance to whore attention, even when driving?

    Putting there a name of a band or your favourite sports team is still more or less acceptable and I still can somehow understand the overexposed will to show your support, but having to wait in a traffic jam behind the guy with something very smart and funny like "if it has wheels or tits it's trouble ahead!" on the back of his car.. it's always a very intense moment to me..

    Here are some examples, thanks to CDSMITH for sharing.

              I was going to put a bunch of those little stick figures on my car to represent me and the kids, but realized I'd almost have to wrap them all the way around the car ;-))


              actually, some people have even taken the stick figure family thing too far by including pets, dead relatives, neighbors, the pedophile down the street and the nice cashier at the restaurant they eat dinner at on Sunday evenings....yeesh...

                      I have to admit that some of them are pretty funny, but I would never put a sticker on my truck....ever.

                      I'm dreading the day I have a kid that makes student of the month or something and I have to try and get out of putting one of those bumper stickers on my truck.

                          I saw a great one yesterday. It said:

                              It's overkill in my area. Everyone has them. If you don't, you can sense people want to spit on your car.

                                  , those are indeed funny and annoying! but then again, it's what they want.

                                  You can lso put a sticker on your car saying, take those shitty stickers out on their car! lol

                                          I don't understand them either. The ones that really mystify me are the ones women put on their cars proclaiming what a bitch they are.

                                          All I have is a very unobtrusive University of Kansas sticker on my back window. I live in the same town as KU so it's pretty common to see KU or Jayhawk stickers on cars.

                                              Dude, that's a bolt on 15hp gain! Didn't you know? Besides, at the extreme speeds that Hondas are known for, you NEED that downforce.

                                                      Why you choose nickname "CarlosTheGaucho"? Its pure idiotic and senseless to me.

                                                      Why you didn't made it your first/last name?
                                                      Why you didn't made it simple, like abcdefg, abc123456, etc.?

                                                      Something you think is stupid, could be funny, someone's passion or something for others .. its all about their personal choice. Those are their cars, they choose what to put on. They don't ask you to put one.

                                                      Stop judging others, no one likes to be judged.

                                                          I would associate it with self esteem issues or attention whore issues as much as someone who decided to get a expensive car.

                                                              Actually, those that are pictured are probably something as the top of the crops, I have seen way worse that seriously wouldn't amuse a monkey, and that already tells you something.

                                                              I don't dispute anyone's right to be an idiot, but I also won't let anyone dispute my right to point at it.

                                                                      Actually, those that are pictured are probably something as the top of the crops, I have seen way worse that seriously wouldn't amuse a monkey, and that already tells you something.

                                                                      I don't dispute anyone's right to be an idiot, but I also won't let anyone dispute my right to point at it.

As far as the bumper stickers, I think they are silly but I enjoy reading them, every now and again when I see one that is good. I think only a handful of times I have actually laughed at one. People just like to put their point of view in the face of others, especially the political ones. What is funny about those peeps is they usually are the ones who bitch and moan about religious people expressing their points of view, but it's okay for them to do push their views on others. haha Some people walk around claiming to be open minded but those are the ones who are usually open minded to one point of view, THEIR OWN.

So magnets would be better because it's easier to change out.

                                                                              A pure dementia...

                                                                              Anyway, why would I put there something about:

                                                                              a) my political views
                                                                              b) my religious believs

                                                                              Is that a way how to get easily identified by the fellow tribesmen?

What I can't stand is regular cars with brands plastered all over them, like your claptrap CRX is sponsored or something. If I can't tell those are Falken tires or wheels just by looking at them, then I probably don't care. You don't need to put their name all across your windshield. Same goes for Spoon, etc etc etc.

With every sticker I get with a part I simply throw the sticker away! I'm not advertising for something that I PAID for! If they want to give me shit for free I might put a sticker on ONLY if the part was $1k+

Its one thing to tailgate some fucker barely passing but if they likely have a baby on board I'll just mark them off as driving safely for their kids.
