Last night. It looks better now than the day I bought it. I originally got it back on Tuesday, but the speakers in the driver side somehow got disconnected when they detrimmed the door. I took it back and they fixed it right away.

It does look a bit better than it did in the first photos in this thread.

Major hailstorm just moved through the area, still dark outside... the car is out there.
First time in 10 years I've actually heard hail hitting the house... HARD.
I guess I'll see what it looks like when the sun comes out... |

No hail damage... thankfully.
But I went in to work this morning to go deliver a load because a driver bailed out on me.
On my way home, a big shiny object came flying at me on the freeway... just barely missing the hood and all that new paint. Literally, skimmed over it within millimeters. Hit the passenger side wiper arm, deflected down into the bottom edge of the windshield. Now I have three nice cracks and I need new glass.
*sigh* |

Glass claim will not effect you insurance. |

Nope, it's just a hassle. Got to get the new windshield tinted across the top. |

Have you angered a gypsy? Torqued off a telekinetic? Wreaked havoc on a Wiccan?
In other words..... Are you dangerous to stand next to?  |

Matthew- they make decals that go on the top of your windshield, with reverse lettering... "SLOWER TRAFFIC MOVE RIGHT".
Getting one soon for my new truck! Seems most roadtards parked in the left lane will look up from their idiotphones and realize they should move right... |

State police here have started writing tickets for left lane campers. |

Drove it yesterday, had a good time zipping around to the wineries...
...this morning, dead battery.
Wiccans? Not too worried about them, definitely haven't tried to piss anybody off. It's just not my turn for the dice to face the right way. |

You can relax, that sounds like three:
Truck
Windshield
Battery.
You're done
Car looks good, hope they got it straight and creak-and-rattle-free! |

You have too much faith in other drivers to:
1 - Actually put the phone down long enough to look in the mirror
2 - Read what the message says
3 - Not take it as a personal attack then slow down even more.
People won't move their asses out of the way when there is a convoy of firetrucks with lights and sirens blazing, I don't think your lettering will be as effective as you hope. Do let us know if it does work though! |

Frogs- actually I had that sticker on my last truck. For those who simply weren't aware and cared to do so, move right, it worked better than you might believe.
All three of your points are valid, though. Even parked, folks will walk by going to their cars, wonder what it says backwards, and then realize.
All just to help people THINK- anything to gain an advantage on today's roads, buddy! |

LOL. You gotta be a real tool to have a big decal emblazoned across the top of your windshield like that.... |

I want a rolling LED sign in my front window to flash messages like "Please Use a Turnout" or "Slower Traffic Move Right" and another in the back for "Thank You!" or "You Are So Close I Can Count Your Nose Hairs".
Probably just provoke the lowest common denominators though. |

I wanted a bumper sticker that said "I brake for tail gaters". A lawyer told me it would be used against me in court if I was rear ended.
Word your driving sarcasm carefully. |

LOL back atcha Frez!! Depending on who you might ask, I could be a tool... you should've seen the back of my truck! Literally over a hundred, many papered over. Several meant something to me, whether a trip somewhere or a Buell event, etc. Folks around here knew me by that nutty Nissan. The old man that bought it and towed it off with a dead motor texted me pics a few weeks later... he'd replaced the motor and took a heat gun to all the stickers! All gone. Sad day for me.
Bozo, I can't tell you how many times I've wished for something like that. When I was a kid, there was a weird/cool toy that you could wave like a wand, and it would flash an LED message in the air...
"Probably just provoke the lowest common denominators though." Sad, but true, dat. |

"Probably just provoke the lowest common denominators though."
That is the main reason that I don't have the world's best bumper sticker on my car:
WATCH OUT FOR THE IDIOT BEHIND ME! |

This last weekend, I had the fortune to discuss motorcycles with one of my in-laws holier than thou friends (the type to tell you everything you are doing wrong, while seemingly ignorant to the multiple opinions otherwise).
I was asked why I ride a dangerous vehicle and implying that I should be ashamed for making my SO worry about me and putting our future relationship in jeopardy.
The SO happened to hear and admonished the woman saying she enjoys when I ride my motorcycle because I come home in such a great mood.
After another few back and forth's, she asked if I was worried about getting hurt and I explained to her that I have been training for 42 years on how to spot idiot drivers like her that threaten my safety and to take measures necessary to avoid them.
The table burst into laughter and I was half way across the room before she got the dis.
1313, the above story is in response to your bumper sticker idea. |
