Most bumper stickers are relatively straightforward. "Free Tibet", "Driver needs body work", political affiliations and even names of local bands are easy enough to figure out.
But have you ever see a car with a strange symbol or other baffling decal affixed to its bumper or back window? Such
bits of personalized vinyl can tell a lot about the driver. It's to your advantage to learn the meaning of those stickers, so a Field Guide to Bumper Stickers would be just the thing to have. Keep it in your car's glove compartment. Complete with index for alphanumeric stickers and small color plates for the symbols.
What does an oval "OBX" sticker mean? (Outer Banks, North Carolina, USA... perhaps the driver is wealthy enough to afford nice vacations to these barrier islands?).
How about a black sticker with a blue or red horizontal stripe? Police/fire brigade. Might not want to start a road rage incident with that one.

I always thought the palm-tree-with-moon looked middle eastern until I found out it was South Carolina "Palmetto State" symbol - not so foreign after all. [link] |

I have seen some mysterious animal ones around here and I have no idea what they mean. |

FlyingToaster, excelent "thinking outside the dyslexia" [marked for tagline]. As for bumper stickers, we don't really go for them in the UK, so [ ]. |

Au Contraire, my little reptilian friend, I found this smashing example in a golf club car park near me (Linky).
I wonder what it means?? |

I like this idea. I would use it on occasion to stay
"in the know". + |

+ I love it. (a story) I had a guy at work convinced that one of our visitors was *bi* because of her bumper sticker. BI= Block Island! |

Hmmmm, surprised nobody recognized it. It's a logo for a New York based jazz trio named Medeski, Martin & Wood. |

I used to have this very book. Except it was for military tac signs only, and I had to hand it back when I left the army :-) |
