stickers - a short rant - Page 2

BlueRaven · 08-07-2005, 01:54 PM

We have a small castrol sticker on the top right hand side of the windscreen that came with the car where servicing details (ie. how many k's to next service).

My XB has stickers all over it that I had to remove...

TheSneakiness · 08-07-2005, 02:05 PM

I had a Laser City Auto sticker on my ute (where it came from), I removed it cause he's real dodgy.

Other than that, there's a rego sticker and Wayne's Wheel Alignment sticker (x2, one in the door sill and one on the windshield).

I'd like to get another one (two, maybe) stuck on the rear window. FF.com.au one and utez.com.au

K_Man · 08-07-2005, 02:33 PM

Saw the best sticker across the top of the windscreen of a haggard VL down in Narre Warren. In massive white letters, it said 'WINDSCREEN'.

:

I dont mind the occasional sticker on a car (My old car used to have a little Penrite sticker in the back window), as long as the sticker is relevant to the car, ie. small performance stickers for bits that the car would clearly have (crow cams sticker on a nice hotted up HQ for instance) or stuff like 'protected by the CLUB' or service/dealer stickers. It's when it gets stupid with 'Back off, i have PMS', or shopping lists down the front doors that i start to get annoyed. Each to their own though, i may not like the way a car looks with a shopping list, other people love it.

When I was in the states I got quite a lot of amusement from the variations on the Christian fish sticker/badge:
A fish symbol with darwin inside it and legs
A fish symbol being eaten by a pirranah
Matter of fact here's a link : http://www.evolvefish.com/fish/emblems.html
Seems to generate some passion over there as I saw quite a few that had been ripped off and broken as well.

saw a sticker on a late model commy, thought it was hilarious.

on the bumper in big letters it said
"Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing an idiot"

I hate that stupid playboy bunny. Wow, you're a slut, doesn't mean you have to tell the world.

Only sticker on mine is the Brian Pollock Ford sticker, (where it was bought), because I know the owner personally (he sold it and it because Brian Mcgrath Ford a while ago now)

montyv8 · 08-07-2005, 06:48 PM

my wife won't let any stickers near her EF, not even an Eseries sticker.
my EB has a modified eseries sticker on it and a small 'coop' sticker on it, the one with the devils face and the crossed spanners.

my brother had "Driver is on drugs and has a gun" on one of his cars....

LuvinmyEB · 08-07-2005, 07:50 PM

I haven't got any stickers on my car yet, unless you count the 'next service due' sticker from JMM in the corner of my windscreen.

I don't mind a couple of stickers as long as they relate to the car or are really funny like some of the ones that have been previously mentioned. I think I've talked my mum out of putting a 'Bad Girl' and Tweety Bird sticker on her car. :yeees:

When my car is looking a little better my AFF sticker and JMM sticker will go on it, but they'll be the only ones. Maybe a small E-Series.com sticker on the side window.

Bucknaked · 08-07-2005, 07:59 PM

I have 1 sticker on the focus. Rear window reads "eurofordclub.com". On my AU, I have 3 stickers. One each on the rear quarter windows that read "AUFalcon.com" and the one on the rear window reads "AWC Info" Those are the only stickers I have. Nothing silly. Just promoting a couple of web sites that I'm a member off, and 1 promoting a very good business.

trick_xd · 08-07-2005, 08:28 PM

I have 5% limo tint windows so they are black . And on the back window just above the brake light i have a little sticker thats black with white writeing about 3mm Big and it says

" Your a Nosey little F@#ker Aint You "

Thats the only sticker i have on that car and my other cars dont have any at all

Did it look something like this?

:hihi:

Seen one the other day that read "If i wanted to listen to your crap music i'd be sitting in your passenger seat."

How strange. i never heard of that. I wonder how many were built. They would have to be worth squillions. Rare find I would imagine.

b2tf · 09-07-2005, 09:30 AM

saw an interesting one last night - a big middle finger and "RTA" underneath it, fair in the middle of the back window on a VP wagon.

If thats not asking to be defected I dont know what is.

Psycho Chicken · 09-07-2005, 09:44 AM

Had to laugh last night, saw on a Magna "MIZMO". Seriously. Also pulled into the servo, saw a massive reflective playboy bunny on an Astra, the more butch fat chick I've ever seen got in and drove off. WTF?

I've got "Only milk and juice come in 2 litres" sitting on my shelf, waiting for the XD to have a bit more balls. Yeah it's unoriginal, but I love it.

trikee · 09-07-2005, 10:04 AM

i only put the stickers on that relate to people doing work on or supplying things to either of my cars.
my falcon carries the stickers at the moment. its got a pedders sticker(i know the owner of pedders here in penrith and he looks after me), a showwheels sticker as these are the guys that supplied the wheels for my other car. and a NSW Rural Fire Service sticker so when i pull up to a fire or car accident in my own car the coppers that are investigating know why the car is sitting there. other than that nothing else

XR-ENVI · 09-07-2005, 10:17 AM

when we were at auto showoff a few weeks ago a guy in a rice car had his shopping list backwards (like a mirror image). i also hate the big HOLDEN FORD etc across the windscreen. An old Boyfriend of mine had a sticker on the back of his EA FAIRMONT "ARE YOU WET YET? IF NOT CUM CLOSER" pretty sick really. hence he is an ex!!!

Psycho Chicken · 09-07-2005, 10:21 AM

Ahhhh the FORD or HOLDEN across the windscreen **** me off! Pulled up next to a couple, rolled the window down and given them a "No sh*t mate, I thought it was a Porsche!". Those stickers should all read ********.

I had never heard of that! I have printed it out to show my dad, being a Holden man from way back, and see what he has to say about it.

NRG 290 · 09-07-2005, 01:31 PM

I really hate the dealership stickers that get put on your car when you buy it or get it serviced. It really annoys me for some reason. I didn't pay them all that money to then advertise for them. The Holden dealer up here puts a small (5cm x 2cm) raised sticker onto the actually paint work on the out of new cars. No one seems to take them off. It looks stupid and could hurt your paint when you try to get it off.

big_pete · 09-07-2005, 04:09 PM

my mate has a [Under Construction] sticker on his front and back windows of his Civic,
the one on the front is right in front of the passengers view

I like your sense of humour.

I’m not a big fan of stickers, the only one I have on my car is a rego sticker. The ones that crack me up the most are the Holden Racing Team stickers that take up the entire back window of the car, usually on the back of some sh#@ heap VN or VK. The bosses at HRT must be cracking up laughing at these di#$heads, not only are they advertising their race team, they probably charged these fools 20 bucks each for the privilege.

Cheers, Danny

bathurst77 · 11-07-2005, 12:36 PM

I strip all stickers and "logo" numberplate frames off my cars the minute i get them in my driveway.
The dealer and windowtint etc stickers go in 5 minutes, and heaven help him, if some poor slob mechanic or tyre fitter etc thinks to put his company sticker on my car at service. "you got glass cleaner mate? get busy then..."

And those oh so funny bumper stickers... I dunno they quickly stop being funny after the 157th read.

ALtho I couldn't resist it when i rented a commodore for a few weeks last year (penance for my sins).
I put Ford and Falcon "Car of the year" etc stickers that i had picked up at motorshow all over the rear window.

Got some funny looks, this brand new commy with pro-ford stickers.

I managed to get it back without removing them. I guess Avis took them off

I saw a funny one the other day on an old Toyota hilux that read

"Has your pussy had my whiskers today"

It was so funny cause the driver was about 40 and had a big orange ZZ top style beard.
