    This is really psycho-babble stupid, but I submit it for your consideration:\

    http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/labnotes/archive/2008/06/16/bumper-sickers-road-rage.aspx?GT1=43002

    The link says that people with stickers have a "great sense of personal space with their cars, so can get very angry if challenged on the road".

    Only this morning, I was cut off by one of those little Cadillac sports sedans, black on black, and it had a bumper sticker on the rear end which said "When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?"

    ZR-1 took care of business, and should I be considering a slogan "wrap your ass in fiberglass"...?

    I wonder if this will cause some to remove their bumper stickers out of fear of being considered a road rager.

    The best solution to bumper stickers used to be found in the back of Rolling Stone. Remember all those stickers that said "I Heart My (Dog/Grandma/Whatever)? They used to sell stickers with a screw on it to cover up the heart.

    ;)

    I don't see why anyone with a bumper sticker would be any more territorial then someone who say customizes their car? While driving we do become a little more territorial regardless.

    The "Monica blew it for Bill" one is classic.
