Geez my misses has these on the back of her car and she is neither. I hate stickers of any kind on cars and I hate these ones on my wifes car, but it is her car so she can do what she likes. Heaven forbid if someone did what they wanted to their own car .
Just wondering what stickers you have on you're car so I can generalise about you're taste .

Now the question that needs to be asked. Are they hot? :

While these stickers don't make any sense to us, they are female (not all I know are like this) and who in hell have they ever made sense to, apart from other females.

while i would never cover my car in such stickers i happen to quite like the frangapanni (sp?). I'm neither a braindead ***** or easy and i agree with muppet people can do what they like to their own cars.

You mean statements like "all young drivers are hoons" or "anyone who mods a car is a tosser" or "can't wait for the end of the school holidays so we can get some reasonable discussion".... that sort of thing?

They're all over the joint up here. Just another fad. It will be un-cool in 6-12 months.

That's funny. We were driving up Newcastle way this weekend and saw them on all sorts of cars - including on an older male's car. My wife said to me "what's the go with these flowers on the back of the cars?"

I agree that it must be a flower cult.

when they were first starting, like only one or 2 on a car, a girl told me if it was on the left (or right side, i forget) side, it meant she was single, and on the opposite side meant she was taken.


now they are everywhere, and even on old ladies cars. :(

They're just making sure their boyfriends don't drive their cars much. No hetero bloke would want to be seen driving a car with flowers all over it. It's bad enough when it's a full on chick's car to start with, but flowers as well?

If it's on both sides does it mean she has a boyfriend but is looking for a bit on the side?

These things stick inside ( i think ) and have a smelly / air freshener type effect, could be wrong but think thats where it started, not sure where it stops.

They remind me of the dodgy creeping weeds growing in the cracks of my concrete out the back! LOL!

Perhaps these stickers need Roundup? LOL!
