For the 1990 US Congress the organizers had bumper stickers made which has the name for go in, if I remember correctly, Japanese, Korean and English. That is the only bumper sticker I have ever put on any car I owned. I drove around with it on for years but was unable to remove it to transfer to my new car.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

We never attach bumper sticker directly to the car. Getting trickier these days with some vehicles having too much plastic but ........

Obtain some sheets of that magnetic material which I believe manufactured to cover floor registers, etc. Cut pieces from the sheet just a hair larger than the bumper sticker and put the bumper sticker on the non-magnetic side. Now you can slap the bumper sticker on your car and can easily remove it later. We do this not only so as not to lose favorite bumper stickers but also so as to be able to change our messages.

Good idea. But as that was the one and only bumper sticker I have ever attached that did not occur to me. Was such a think even available 25 years ago?

Good idea, but would not others then easily steal the sticker on the magnet?
I got all kinds of things stolen that I attached to my car, most recently a side-view mirror blind-spot remover. And that was crazy-glued!!

By the way, it always puzzled me, why do people have this overwhelming urge to advertise their personal stuff to the whole world, with stickers, messages, customized plates, etc... each time I pass a car like that I wonder... aren't christmas trees good enough to put all kinds of little things on? Its most prevalent on the web... blogs, social stuff, and so on... But bumper stickers are just another manifestation.

Companies like Facebook and Twitter and many others make a FORTUNE out of this weird need to share every little bit of trivia with everybody else, like it was important. Bumper sticker companies. There should be a way for people who absolutely cannot hold themselves from unloading this trivia onto the rest of the world to be able to monetize it themselves rather than pad the wallets of already wealthy cats. Sell tickets? ;)

No wonder identity theft is such an issue...

Sorry, its one of my many pet peeves. ;)

I agree with you. I thought about not putting that Go sticker in the car, but in the end decided to do so. But I think some people have so many stickers on their car to hold it together in case is rusts to death.

a) Register covers have been around a long time. Some, but not all registers have levels to control how open but even these can break or get jammed. \

b) Never had one stolen. First of all, not at all obvious not directly on car like the usual bumper sticker. After all, just enough bigger to be able to attach the sticker without it overhanging. But second, somebody who would want that sticker presumably approves of the message and so probably approves of you who are displaying it.

c) As to why, well of course some bumper stickers are just cute. But probably the majority are "political" messages of some sort. You could just as well have asked why some people display campaign posters on yard signs or why there are a couple anti-fracking/pipeline signs on our covered bridge (our driveway crosses a stream immediately from the road).
