    I don't have any military stickers on either of our car, except for an Armywife one, because I was and my husband is MI and there is not MI stickers!!! (We are told not to anyways... bc of Opsec. Oh, well.)

    On that note my fav military sticker is one I saw at Hood, "The other half of my (Heart) is in Iraq... So is my other leg."

    Just had to add that on here.

    I would love to put a bumper sticker on my car stating I can go 100 miles on 2 gallons of gas and 350 miles on the same amount of gas you use to go 100 miles, but there are way too many angry frustrated people around here. I am OK enjoying this in silence.

    I recall reading once that Steven King loves reading bumper stickers, especially irreverent ones. I consider them very 'American' the idea of you posting your Free Speech for all the world to see, especially in the pre-Internet days when the individual had few options to do so. Politics offers so many that are fun.
    I recall a Ronald Reagan opponent when Reagan was running for his second term, it read: "NO Mo' RON for President", which had a funny, and obvious, double meaning.

    Very nice, 50mpg even with the bike rack? Also, what type of MPG are you really getting without the rack but with those 18" wheels? Looks very nice, your whole car overall.

    With mostly highway driving, the rack and 18s I average 42. But damn it looks good whole doing it!

    I love the hint of the giant dually white pickup reflected in
    priusmileage.jpg ... sounds like one has to resort to straight-out
    profanity to make any impression down there.

    I hate bumper stickers. BUT..I admit that's funny.

    Put's a nice edge on the whole Harmony between Man, Nature and Machine thing....

    As much as I think it's funny, here's hoping I don't start to see it on every other Prius on the road....

    It's mostly for the people down here that bash on my car, and all the retards that cannot drive down here. I have actually had people who just want the sticker to offend people, but I have not had any more made, as far as I know I'm the only one.

    I guess it's really entertaining to me because I'm only 22! I love the stares and laughs and photos.

    I did put my NRA sticker on my Prius for this very purpose. Helps with tailgaiting to some extent...has with all of the vehicles I've had.

    How about "I'm not slow, I'm hypermiling (50+mpg)"

    THIS would be the perfect place to put the NRA sticker in the space under the PRIUS badge.

    I'm of the same opinion as "The Electric Me".....I hate bumper stickers! That being said I especially love the opinions of "New Yorker"! I would consider a bumper sticker on the glass below the "wing", but here in the mid-west these cars are indeed dispised! I would like to have a "vanity tag", but what I would like to have, ("GUZLNOT"), would only net me a damaged car, if I ever let it out of my sight!
    The only sticker which would work here is the "over the top" one of "sti-nkr", ("F*ck you! I get 50mpg!"), or the NRA stickers. These "Red Necks" around here will attempt to run you off the road, w/their pickups, and Hummers, so if you did put one of the above stickers on your Prius you'd best have a "license to carry" and be ready!! Isn't that a SORRY SENERIO on our society!:(

    Over here Prius is very well accepted, but NRA decals can cause serious problems with a significant portion of the population.

    I grew up in an inverse culture, where that decal is broadly accepted but certain connotations unfairly applied to the car will cause problems with a certain subset in the area.

    A single sticker could make both groups stand back: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_pistols"] Pink Pistols[/ame] (see also here). Their local members were great allies when I was an activist, but I suspect that few of my intended audience would recognize the symbols.

    Mine says:

    "Open the pod bay doors, Hal"

    Yeah, I have a white Prius, lol.

    And, yes, I'm an unreformed nerd.

    Due to my short attention span, I like the magnets that stick on the metal bits better than stickers. I have two now: one is a black/red ribbon that says "I support zombies" and the other is just an oval "K1P1". Nothing Prius at all, I transferred those two from the Last Car--- last week. :)
