>>Like you, I would not have come up with bumper stickers if someone asked me for a list of road rage indicators, but thinking about the logic of it, I suppose it makes a kind of sense. I don't have any bumper stickers, and I don't have a vanity plate, but I do have a 'cancer ribbon' magnetic sticker and 2 magnetic stickers in support of the troops. I wonder if that makes me a timebomb. I know that I do tend to think of the road as 'my road', but my mother and father taught me to share, and I don't really mind other people using my streets as long as they aren't idiots. The major problem of course, is that just about everybody else out there is an idiot.

>Seems to me the biggest rage indicator is guys in a car by themselves. Bonus points if the vehicle is a van, a huge pickup truck, or (ne plus ultra) a Hummer.

>I don't like bumper stickers, either. The only one I have ever had was one my ex stealthily put on our minivan, saying "Wisconsin: You're Among Friends". (Occasionally you see those, generally on vehicles with Wisconsin plates, altered to say "Wisconsin: You're Among Fiends"). Who wants to wind up with a bumper sticker saying Kerry 2004 or something like that. I don't even like the "My child is an honor student" type, even though that is something I am proud of. Just because I'm proud of it doesn't mean I have to brag about it to everyone on the road.

>I had a "Support the Troops" magnetic ribbon but a drive-through car wash ate it. Dummy here didn't anticipate what was going to happen and remove it before driving through.

I've been through many car washes (soft cloth, not no-touch) with all three magnetic ribbons, and they've survived quite nicely. Maybe the static electricity on your plastic car isn't strong enough. Maybe it's time to get a grown up metal car.

>At the moment I have some magnetic Student Driver signs. But those go on only while the girls are practicing their driving. (As in, You've been warned!!!! LOL). And this will only be temporary.
