Across the bottom of my rear windshield I have a decal that says "The Little Engine that CAN"
Interior above the glove box on pass side I have a decal that says "CAUTION: I SPEED UP for Corners"
In each of the lower side view mirrors I have a decal that says, "Object in Mirror are SLOWER than they appear"
They're small enough on the car so they don't look ugly or out of place

Cheers,

OK, I like that 2nd one there. Nice. But rather big for a car decal. I'll have to use that when I get the next MINI=small genital joke. That'll show 'em.
Cheers,

A while back I heard about a bumper sticker:
"I drive a MINI, what are you compensating for?"

You can get it at cafepress.com. I have one on my filing cabinet at work. We also have a Buick Regal, was thinking about a sticker for that one that says, either "My other car is in the trunk" or "My other car is a lot cooler" with the Mini Symbol under it. The wife has a machine that makes bumper stickers...I may just do that...

Or maybe "I'm undercompensating" on the MCSC

Why not come out and say it:

"My ___ is big so my car doesn't have to be!"

I made a small sticker for my rear window that says "Live larger, drive smaller". This is taken from the CarTalk website: http://www.cartalk.com/content/featu...v/sticker.html

Here are a few:

"What are you compensating for?"

"It's a shower, not a grower!"

"Clown car? Clowns wear size 20 shoes, ladies."

"10 lbs of fun in a 5 lb bag."

"It's a nice size."

"Enzite Inside"

"3 pedals, 3 legs--what's the problem?"

"Mike Oxbig On Board."

"Pornstar"

my wifes view

If you drive a huge SUV you're compensating,

If you drive a tiny MINI, you're ADVERTISING!!

MINI, for when you have no need to over-compensate

This is what she has always said after living in so cal, being around all the guys that lift their trucks an extra 12 inches.

some can also go for the women. cuz if you need to lift your truck, it's deffently saying something about your man. now my wife even drives a mini.
but for women you could also say one hell of a front end. or sassy @$$
