Yes. It seems like if I breathe wrong on my car paint flakes off. I've got chipping and small rust spots on random places like around the back window where rocks/etc. should never even hit. I figure in a few more years it'll get to the point that I just rattle can some paint on it.

"Psychologically speaking putting bumper stickers with your opinions on your car is a truly obsessive compulsive self-fulfilling act, because you know that you’re conveying your opinion to others for your own satisfaction of expressing yourself in an obnoxious fashion. Not only are you stating your opinions, but no one can respond to your opinions, and that gives a bumper sticker person satisfaction. Basically it is a way of rubbing your opinion in people’s faces."

Regardless, my original point on the first post of the thread was that it's is great way to ruin a nice looking Yaris...just as much as if you shot it up with paint balls. But that is my opinion...free speech ya know.

I agree 100% about how it looks. Terrible.

But my point was that's their right (freedom to yuck-up a perfectly good Yaris)
like it or not (again I dont)

But then we have the right to discuss it, which the owner of that car may not agree with.

yea, there is right way and a wrong way to put stickers on your car, that is the wrong way.

I should take a picture of this little pickup truck that rolls around here where I live. you guys would shit. lol. I personally dislike bumper stickers like that. I'll leave my comments / opinions on the drivers and their beliefs to myself, though....it'll offend someone :p

Maybe they do it just to piss others off...

I use a magnet bumper sticker. So when I go to an event and I don't want to advertise, I take it off. Sometimes in political functions, I leave it on just to piss-off certain people.

Cheers!
