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

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:What an ass! :rolleyes: :banghead: *HONK!* :pullover:

When I honk at someone squatting at a red light, It's very rarely in anger, just as a reminder. If I have to honk three or four times, that may be getting close to anger.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I never cared much for bumper stickers, so I usually just urinate on my car to mark it. Hey, it's free. :huh:

Now that's over the top offensive. No joke.

On the other hand, there's an H2 around here with the tag "GLBLWMR"

Sorry if I offended. The owner was probably oblivious to his faux pas, but still, you'd think somebody would point it out.

I hope that H2 owner goes broke trying to thumb his nose to the hippies.

I think it was on an E46 330Ci convertible.  License plate holder "I'd rather be fishing".

I thought martini as well, but why not put "mr" and "tini" together?

More likely than not, it's an inside joke type of thing. Some people would get it and be amused by a plate that said 'ROFLMAO' or 'OMG WTF' but a lot of people won't

I'm sure he gets pulled over quite frequently by cops wondering what his license plate meant too.

It's funny, because the "M" is actually the insignia from the U of M specialty plate.

wouldn't be surprised if it was someone famous, or even him in particular. Unfortunately, I was driving behind the car, and it had limo tint, so I couldn't see who was in it
