I was driving today with my wife in a (non mustang) and saw a young guy in a Torch Red GT behind me, I started to smile and slowed down so that I could get a good look. As he passed me I almost crashed my car in horror :shock: He had a "my child is an honor student bumper sticker" on his bumper. I couldn't believe it.....Am I overreacting..I am about to order a 2006 GT and take any opportunity to peek a glance at a GT and maybe I am sensitive but a bumper sticker on a GT? I will put one on my van, my other car but a GT..... Just wanted to get other mustang enthusiast's opinions..

I personally can't stand bumper stickers.

Now it's off to the Exterior mods section......

We may not like them, but it is cool to see that he is proud of his kid.

With all that is happening in the world, it is good to see he (the guy w/the sticker) knows what is important to him.

Exactly. It's the reason he has that bumper sticker on his car that's important. I'm sure he didn't do it to accent his exhaust tips

I really hate bumper stickers.

I do understand the "my child is an honor roll student... blah blah blah" ones.

But if you're going to put a bumper sticker on a car, at least put it on the rear window, and not on the bumper.

That way, you can easily remove it when the kid misses the honor roll the next semester


Also... put it on the minivan, not on the Mustang!

Negative, bumper stickers are the sign of a nonresponsible car driver. If he ever wants to take that off....oh no....*shakes his head*

if say you want a bumper sticker like a "WOW" sticker but dont want to ruin your car... I took one of those magnetic sheets that you use to cover up AC vents in the house and put the sticker on it and I can remove it with no problem if say if I need to pick up a girl at her parents house or something. on the other hand this guy is proud of his son and by all means let him be proud. My dad used to have the "my honor student son can kick your honor students son's hiney" hahaha

I have a GT on order. My aunt has a house on the beach in LBI (Long Beach Island), NJ, and I go every year for a week. I love that place, very relaxing. I even have one of those beach stickers that have the initials of the beach. I won't be putting in on my car, when it arrives. The only thing I would do is make it a magnet, by sticking it on a magnetic sticker, or putting 2 sided tape to post it in my side window. But I would never put one on the paint of a car.

I voted for "...are you crazy" however with that being said...

Family pride >>>>>>>> car pride any day of the week in my book

Yes, obviously there are many ways to show that you take pride in your family, however showing pride on a car that you love is get's an A+ in my book.
