    Take off of the old VW Fahrvergnügen stickers. Not sure how they actually look in person, I just ordered one....

    Catchy, I like it.

    You know, you can reference web pictures right in the posts. It's a little easier than making people jump around and juggle windows/tabs. For more information or to order your own, use the link kpauly posted.

    I like it.

    If you don't mind, since I'm a bumper sticker person, I'd like to broaden the topic a little. I've been trying to think of ONE Prius sticker that would best represent what I think is best about the Prius. Wouldn't mind people's reactions to my thinking:

    BE A WARRIOR ON TWO FRONTS: -------> "do-er" or "contributor"?
    LESS OIL SLAVERY, CLEANER AIR
    ONE CAR AT A TIME

    or

    DECREASED OIL DEPENDENCE
    CLEANER AIR
    Yes, you CAN DO something!

    Thanks for the tip on the web pictuers. I tried to grab an image, or look for the image link reference on the website so I could put in a URL with the IMG tag, but could not find it. I'll look closer next time.

    I've thought of having some custom made ones like:


    FIGHT TERRORISM:
    STOP GIVING (black and white image of leering Taliban-esque Arab with sunglasses) $

    the letters SUV with red circle and slash

    or,

    THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO FIGHT TERRORISM, IS AT THE PUMP!


    SUPPORT FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGIONS: OSAMA LOVES SUV'S


    EVERYTIME YOU FILL UP YOUR SUV, A TERRORIST GETS A NEW GUN.


    DON'T BE ENVIOUS OF THE (leering Taliban-esque Arab graphic) WITH THE FERRARI, YOU BOUGHT IT FOR HIM.


    TERRORISM'S BIGGEST THREAT (big arrow pointing to "Hybrid Synergy Drive" logo)



    I could go on an on...

    Do a search on CafePress.com for Prius or Hybrid, you'll find a lot of ones similar to what you were mentioning...

    Hey, Ken, not a word about your new baby? Or did you post somewhere I didn't see it?

    I've had a couple posts, been real busy trying to understand everything!

    LOVE the car, the color is better than I was expecting. Was worried about seats, so far fairly comfortable.

    I have about 160 miles on it already, so far the computer is showing almost 52 MPG. I was planning for 40-45 since I mostly do freeway driving and I wasn't going to try real hard to get the MPG's up there. But when you have that Info display in your face it's like playing a video game to get the good mileage, I love it.

    Latest challenge is around Bluetooth. Have my phone working, just trying to get the addressbook populated. My phone does not support transfers, so I'm trying to work through it with my laptop, but that's in another thread....

    Thanks for asking!

    Ken

    :) I'd like it better without the picture.
    Presumably, people would be able to see the car it's attached to so the picture of the car is just redundant.

    I thought of one on the way to work this morning:

    I love SUVs!
    They're great for drafting

    There is a version without the sticker as well as a license plate frame version.

    I just ordered the plate frame for fun. Slow boat from China shipping will have it to me in a week or so. I'll let you know about quality in case anyone else is interested. I REALLY like the "Blackberry on Board" and "SOx Sux" stuff - you'd have to be an IT geek to get it though... :blink:

    I've been printing my own. So far , my favorite:

    Everyday is Earth Day in a Prius!

    Cheers,

    Curt.

    ...or more to the point, as mentioned by another poster in another string.

    Did you get the frame? I ordered one as well (just the other day), but have not received it yet, was wondering what you thought.

    I received my plate frame from CafePress last week....

    I love it. It seems pretty durable, although the labeling is, in fact, just stickers on the frame. I'm still too busy laughing at the FahrfromFuelin to notice... :)

    now if only an '06 would show up to put it on....

    :lol:

    I'm not a big fan of putting stickers on my cars (still dreading when I'll have to put those carpool lane stickers on my Prius...) so I wouldn't really put any of these on mine, but they ARE pretty funny.
