The red lava flow of break lights on my 45 minute drive home from work had me counting the Kerry/Edwards, Viva Bush, John Kerry, and Bush/Cheney stickers on cars. I always try to guess what the drivers will look like and have lately been surprised as my political stereotyping is way off. Anyways this game I play out of boredom brought me to a 1992-4 Toyota truck (Tacoma???) And it had over 300 hundred stickers all over the bumper, back tailgate, camper shell top, even the sides a little bit-- no candidate was mentioned just various early punk bands mostly Californian, many skate and surf companies, and some offensive sayings (well to housewives maybe) all of which I see daily on various cars, but what made this different is it had every sticker imaginable all on the same truck. I would not doubt that this person had in fact gotten into fist fights at SubhumansCitizen Fish shows or that he may be wearing Volcom clothing and that his statement is so much greater than the average Dead KennedysDescendents sticker Ive seen neatly placed on SUVs or Audis. Now, mind you I dont really like punk too much (but do appreciate its place in musical history) but this guys audacious fuck you if you think I fucked my truck up attitude was a great thing to see. He didnt care if all the stickers did fuck up his paint job and little resale value he had left on his truck. I have no stickers on my car, but Id like to think I may start living my life without caring if I fuck up my resale value, because like a 12 year old Japanese mini truck my life is only here for so long and its mine to do with what I please.
