I just saw an " OWNED " plate on an orange Pontiac G6 GT today. Are other cars getting "owned" or was he "owned" by the dealer? 

[sandertheshark]

I've seen lots of good ones in Virginia.

CARNVOR on a Hummer H2 w/ lots of hunting-related stickers.

STRSCREM on a BMW at Langley AFB (F-22 Raptor pilot, I assume.)

He's just telling you that he paid for the car in cash, thus the car is "owned" by him.

AYKCUF => "FUCK YA"

[Raza]

"Drivers of cars with bumper stickers, window decals, personalized license plates and other "territorial markers" not only get mad when someone cuts in their lane or is slow to respond to a changed traffic light, but they are far more likely than those who do not personalize their cars to use their vehicles to express rage -- by honking, tailgating and other aggressive behavior."

Interesting article. I think oversized wheels, ginormous lift kits, and brush guards are much better indicators of aggressiveness than stickers, but whatever

One of the psychobiological explanations has some merit: the familiar surroundings of your car's interior tricks your instinct into thinking that you are inhabiting a private space, causing some people to mistake the public roadways for their private domain. These people will naturally defend their "territory" from intruders, which manifests as road rage.

This experiment is crap though:

Szlemko said that, in an as-yet-unpublished experiment, he conducted tests of road rage in actual traffic. He had one researcher sit in a car in a left-turn lane. When the light turned green, the researcher simply stayed still, blocking the car behind.

Another researcher, meanwhile, examined whether the blocked car had bumper stickers and other markers of territoriality. The experimental question was how long it would take for the driver of the blocked car to honk in frustration.

Szlemko said that drivers of cars with decals, bumper stickers and personalized license plates honked at the offending vehicle nearly two full seconds faster than drivers of cars without any territorial markers.

What an ass! *HONK!*

As I recall, the article only used stickers as a primary example, but they were grouped with other personalizations to the car.

WTF! That's worse than those "experiments" where people drive the posted speed limit in the left lane

Depending on the intersection (busy with a short length turn light vs. sparsely traveled with little turn light consequence) I honk on the count of two or three one thousands.  No bumper stickers, but I have a couple of parking passes in my rear windshield that I was too lazy to razorblade off.

Saw a new style thunderbird with plates: NEWBIRD
Then a few cars in front of it was an old thunderbird with collector plates that said: VNTGBRD
