I have NOTHING on my vehicle, and only a Solomon Seal around the rearview mirror. I don't even keep items IN my car, except for a Lexis Nexis hat for a backup...

KEEP THE VEHICLE CLEAN! UNCLUTTERED! UNMARKED! Yer just about invisible. Make it a silver compact? You ARE invisible!
This is why I have NEVER gotten a vanity plate. I still remember- years since- the exact plates of a few people who have wronged me in traffic as a result of their cute, memorable vanity plate.

scary! We don't put anything gun related on our car for that very reason. I would love to be able to proudly display a NRA sticker or a some other fun note--but the risk is just too high. Thank God you were paying attention.

I have always felt it was a mistake to plaster your car with stickers. Everything else being equal, why single yourself out for special attention from anybody? If you find yourself in a situation where you WANT someone's attention and can't figure out how to get it, youi probably don't deserve it. But I prefer to draw other people's attention only at MY discretion.

When my daughter worked in DC and lived in NoVa, I used to swear every time I had to drive up there that before I came back I was going to get one of those I AM THE NRA bumperstickers on the Bowtie Monstrosity, but I always came back to my "draw no attention" position after the mad wore off.

I did see one bumper sticker the other day that I thought was pretty cool, though. It had one of those pink ribbons that symbolize the struggle against breast cancer, but they had added the slogan "SAVE THE TA TAs". Talk about making your message appeal to a broader audience..............

Hmm, interpretation time. So is the US Flag, a symbol of the government, shredding the Gadston? Is the Gadston snake striking out at the government? I think I need Wylde's help with this one...
