To Do or Not To Do; Expressing Oneself through Bumper Stickers, Car Art & Vanity Plates.

As I posted last week, I have a new car. A new-to-me car. It has no bumper stickers, no car art and no vanity plates. It is a blank canvas. This car could belong to anyone. Should I express myself through my automobile? The big question...to do or not to do. Let's examine our options.

Stickers. I've always had a few. Not big ones or loud ones, but ones supporting the kids' school or our local zoo. Nothing big and flashy. But, for some people, I know that's too much. Some people prefer nothing on their car. Do you?

You can go the humor route and get a funny sticker...or be serious and express religious or political views. It seems to be that's asking for someone to key your car...not right, I know, but there are people out there that strongly believe one way and the other.

I just saw this bumper sticker the other day and loved it:


Then there are cars like this, that overly express themselves...But, if you're stuck in traffic, it sure makes for entertaining reading, right?

I think I might turn to this option if my paint was so bad I needed to cover it up. Maybe.

So, if bumper stickers aren't your thing, then maybe body art is? Car body art, that is. We've all seen the traditional flames:



and then there are those crafty people who go above and beyond with their artistic expression and produce something like this:


This picture below is dirty-car art. I've seen websites devoted to people who go around making art from the dirt on a car. Impressive...until it rains.

If body art doesn't agree with you, then there is always the good old funny license plate or vanity plate.





Why is it all the funny license plates are on Hummers? lol And all the flames are on little Toyotas and Nissans. hehe
Do you have anything on your car? Do you express yourself on the road?
