Now, I don't mean to put anyone down here, but what the hell is with stupid stickers on cars. Now, I'm all for one or 2, saying something funny or maybe giving some indication as to the contents of the engine bay. Last night, I was cruising around Bundy and I noticed that most cars there have at least 2 stickers, most saying something stupid. Reminds me of that fast and the furious cartoon thing doing the rounds here recently "do we have enough stickers and a big enough wing to win?" One brilliant example is a VK, looked stocko, couldn't keep up with me in my mates fairlane at half throttle. He had a sticker on the back that read "There is no substitute for horsepower!". I looked at it, thought for a bit, then realised there is, and it is sitting right under the bonnet of that commo. He had another sticker down the bottom of the rear windscreen too, can't remember what it was though. Another pearler was a VR with "When the clutch drops the bull stops". You may find it interesting to note that it was an auto. I'd love to see him drop the clutch. Anyway, I should probably get back to work and quit ranting on about idiots in commodores.

Or the other good one is, "back off, the bites" Actually, I love seeing "Bad " on a chicks car with her boyfriend driving it. There is a crappy VN that gets around here with "My other toy has a dick" written on the back windscreen. The owner's boyfriend often drives it. I pulled up next to him at a set of lights one day and said "Your missus got a dick?" He wasn't too happy. Teach him for driving her car. lol

Yeah, I'm often tempted to get out at the lights and go shake their car to find out just how "BAD" they are...

Agreed, the other one that gets me sometimes is huge big website stickers. I know we have FF stickers and i dont mind them - but these huge big stickers that go up the entire side of the bloody car proclaiming "calaisturbo.com"or something similar really annoy me, especially when they're on stock VL's.
Another common one around here is the owners name on teenage girl P plate cars i.e. 'TASHA LEE' in big pink letters on the front of an 80-something Telstar. I swear there was no part of the interior that wasnt pink. And the final one is dealership stickers/window tinters etc. I know they have to advertise their business and all but I find it very annoying when they whack their logo on my car without my consent. I have one sticker on the back window of my car - a custom designed one (the logo from my guitar actually), it is the only one on it and that is how it will stay.

yeah there are some shockers around...what makes me laugh is those stickers with a boy ****ing on a holden/ford badge when clearly the car it is on will struggle to beat a 120Y.
And all those hippy ones are annoying also - but then again it is good entertainment most of the time.

A certain former member of my Fire Brigade (NSW Rural Fire Service) had an old blue VN. Stuck huge red and white reflective stickers saying 'FIRE' on the sides of his car and on the bonnet, put a red and white chequer pattern reflective strip down the sides and on the bumpers and even went to the trouble of installing amber strobes on the dash and rear parcel shelf. He also had some dodgey siren fitted (I think it had its origins as a car alarm) and used to drive around with two amber beacons on his roof!
I'll try and get photos, I still see his car around every now and then...

Oh my god thats terrible. Nearly as bad in my books as having the one that says "mum's Taxi". I refuse to put that on my car even though it is taxi. Maybe i should get one that just says, "Mother is on Valium, due to pressures of demanding children, please rate my driving". Nah just joking.

my mate used to have a sticker on his M3 that said:
"WARNING: I can go from zero to horny in 2.5 beers". was pretty funny, and it was a damn quick car too!

Admittedly there is one sticker I do like and it would apply to my car too.
It reads 'is there life after death? touch this car to find out'. Thought it was great!

 I hate stickers, just look doofa tryhard. I hate it when I see a "Bugger" sticker on a hyundai or something - don't they remember the ad was for Toyota? (and a brilliant ad at that, one of my all time faves). I don't have any... actually, the ff.au one is still sitting there, waiting for the EA to actually be in good enough condition to deserve such a sticker. BTW the best way to get rid of the glue that is left behind is alot of eucalyptus oil. Basically bathe the glue in the stuff and scrub with paper towel (also with the oil on it).

I peeled the window tinter's sticker off my old car the second I got it home.
Luckily I have no dealer sticker on mine, and the only one on it now is the AFF one.

I have my JMM sticker (gets some looks and questions here in Adelaide) and my BDT sticker on the back window.
I hate the ghey ones like: "Baby on board" .... who cares? "Magic happens" ....wtf? "When all else failes, hug your teddy".... I dont have a teddy "Oakley - Thermonuclear protection" However, I did see a funny thing on a t-shirt once and it could be a good sticker for a Ford or Commie: "Your car is neither fast nor furious"

I want a "Your car is neither fast nor furious" sticker though.
Prepsol works the best. Soak the area and leave for 1-1.5 mins. Grab a razorblade, slip in under the corner of the sticker and it should lift off... been there, done that. My corolla was covered in stickers when I got it. Clean the area afterwards with prepsol - no wukkin furries!

I've got a "Bowdens Own" and a "Kings Springs" sticker on my rear door 1/4 glass... I put them there to hide the tint that lifted off.. How dodgey :(

The stickers that really **** me off are the big holden/commodore or ford/falcon stickers across the front windscreen.....
there are other ways for the owner to know what car they drive, they don't need a sticker.... |

I like the "your car is neither fast nor furious" one. I saw a good one on a Kingswood last night. It was nothing flash, but the sticker on the back said "Jap my ****!" I thought it was brilliant.
