Given the origin of the symbol, it's pretty silly for a chromed plastic version to be stuck to the back of any car. It's not like the car has a religion, is it??

A girl was going about 30 over the 35 mph speed limit in my new lane - honked, got over into the middle turn lane, flipped me off, and continued on - fish placed prominently on her rear bumper.

This is how you will know one another, that you love one another.
Ah but you see ... she didn't know you were a "one another."

Can you imagine what that 'got jesus?' lady driver could do in a MINI if she could handle a minivan like that?

It was just a personal thing for myself and friends. Sounded best with a real twang in the singing. ;P

Oh my. If confronted about her behavior, she might say, "Da debbil made me do it!"

Scary!

This is a fun thread, but yes... it would probably best be moved to Off topic areas.

It was like a scene from the original Speed in the van- cars nosediving with red braking lights on all over the place. But it would have been like a stroll in the park with a MINI.

As a Christian I don't drive well enough to put a bumper sticker on my car, so I don't.

Jesus provides no guidance for proper motoring.

He also provides no common sense for a few folks who insist they can drive.

One might think the "do unto others" thing may apply.

She was inducing "JESUS CHRIST!" from other drivers every time she cut in, braking hard to make the exit.
Does RMW make a Head for the Chrysler Caravan?

So, you're sure Jesus wasn't driving? He supposedly had long hair, according to all the anglo pics we see in church.

Bumper stickers are dangerously wrong.

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac?

He stayed up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

OMG, that is too funny. I must read more. I totally missed that spaghetti monster thing what a great counter argument.

The fish n chips is funny. I personally like the fish with the feet coming out of it

What a crazy thread.

haha! love it! I'm tempted to get one but I just don't have the heart to stick *anything* on the MINI (plus, you never know who you'll **** off in this area...). I used to have the evolve fish (with little wrench in hand) on my last car: http://www.evolvefish.com/fish/media/ewindows.gif

they have a completely hilarious selection of "fish" here: http://www.evolvefish.com/fish/emblems.html
