One disadvantage of driving a beautiful car like a Miata is the related
reluctance to slap on bumper stickers. The entire bumper-sticker industry is
in a huge slump right now.

It was bad enough losing all the Burma-Shave signs and Mystery Spot
billboards, but if we loose bumper stickers, too, the American open road
will become quirk- and funk-free. Just big Helvetica highway signs placed by
order of the federal government. We might as well be driving in Yourup.

My solution: Buy or ask for bumper stickers, but don't apply them.

Some of my current faves:

EAT BERTHA'S MUSSELS  -- From an East Coast seafood place
FOLLOW ME TO GAY BAR (GAY, MI) -- A rural town with nomenclature probs
I BRAKE FOR HALLUCINATIONS
WHEN CARS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE CARS

I like to pin these up at work. / roadburn
