72 Wild Bumper Stickers That Made A Statement And Revealed Everything There Is To Know About The Driver (New Pics)
English judge Sir Edward Coke wrote in 1604 that a person's house is their "castle and fortress." Four hundred years later, the statement still stands. Only now, many of us also have a mobile extension of our estate.
Cars are not just machines that get us from point A to point B. Many treat them as a way to show off their taste, opinions, and, sometimes, a complete lack of restraint.
The subreddit r/BumperStickers is proof of that. It's a place where people share the funniest, strangest, and downright unhinged messages they spot on the streets.

In one survey, CarMax Inc. found that the number one reason people display bumper stickers, decals, or magnets on their cars is to make a statement about themselves, their values, and their interests.
Of the respondents who had not displayed a sticker, nearly a quarter said it was simply because they hadn't found one that represented them.

And it's not just big companies that are capitalizing on the demand. Since bumper stickers are so deeply personalized, individual designers have found success as well.
For example, one that made the rounds around Brooklyn said, "Keep Honking! I'm Listening to Alice Coltrane's 1971 Meteoric Sensation 'Universal Consciousness.'"
As it gained popularity all over the United States, it turned out that the creator was Los Angeles-based artist Christopher DeLoach.

DeLoach told GQ that he first came up with the idea for the bumper sticker while listening to Alice Coltrane’s rendition of "Going Home" (which appears not on Universal Consciousness but on 1973’s Lord of Lords). That same day, he happened upon the classic vintage bumper sticker, "Keep Honking, I'm Listening to Jazz" and decided that message could be improved.
DeLoach estimates that he gave away the first 300 or so to friends and friends of friends, but in a few months, he found himself selling several hundred a week. "I was mailing them out in these large manila envelopes, which I had never foreseen myself doing," he said.

They weren't listening to punk and hip-hop. They were listening to country.

I Wholeheartedly Agree
DeLoach has sold around 8,000 bumper stickers so far: still a fairly niche phenomenon, but enough to help him financially.
The stickers, which retail for $7 each, have paid for his studio over the past year and allowed him to subsidize the cost of investing in a restaurant he opened in Mexico a few years ago.

I'm Only Driving This Until

I’m holding onto my car until they start offering them, sans touchscreens, with buttons, McKnobs, dials, and analog speedometers.
However, bold statements aren't always universally accepted. University of Cincinnati researchers found that political polarization is seeping into bumper stickers as well.
UC College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Professors Rachel Torres and Ben Farrer said people who watched a driving simulation in which the motorist ahead of them cut them off in traffic were more likely to honk if the offending vehicle had a political bumper sticker, particularly one for the party they did not support.

Torres and Farrer conducted attitude surveys with paid volunteers, who then took part in a short driving simulation. In half of the simulations, another vehicle cut them off without signaling. The offending vehicle featured either no sticker or one of three bumper stickers: "Proud Democrat," "Proud Republican," or the neutral "I love my dog."
In the other half of the simulations, the other vehicle stayed in its own lane before making an unremarkable left turn.
"It activated their partisan hostilities," said Torres, who teaches political science in UC's School of Public and International Affairs.

Love the bottom one. Have a day has a special place in my heart due to the poster I had on my wall in the 90s and later found again many years later that hangs on my wall currently. However, "have the day you deserve" is more apt due to *gestures widely*

The small-text ones on the right: "My favorite 'far left' idea is that people should be able to afford a roof over their heads" - "Make lying wrong again; make America think again; make humans matter again; make people care again" - and "No one's treading on you, sweetie"

No Lot Lizards. Apparently "lot lizard" is a term for the ladies you can hire by-the-hour in truck stop parking lots. I know this because.... uh... I read books. Yes.

Your device does that if it is possessed by a demon.
