New Jersey cars have been "mobile billboards" forever!

R
"Go R-U!" School pride...and patriotism...all in one! (Craig Allen photo).

Whether proclaiming school and college pride, political causes and politicians, or just as an expression of the owner's personality...

loves horses
"Giddy Up!" (Craig Allen photo).

...bumper stickers, car magnets and static stickers are everywhere in New Jersey!

my bumper
What my car needs...clearly...is a WASH! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Except on my car...and that is a deliberate choice on my part. I just don't want stickers all over my car...

As you will see, I am very much in the minority!

Here's just a random sampling of "mobile expression of personality" that I've seen in my travels across the great Garden State, recently:

fair sticker
If this family is like mine...will only disappear when its covered with the new sticker NEXT year... (Craig Allen photo).

We start with the traditional "bumper sticker."

eagle scout
No...I didn't cheat, and take a picture of Bob Williams' car! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

And, move on quickly...

OCNJ
Guess where I saw this one... (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

How 'bout some "fido love!"

dog bone
Let's throw the dog a bone! (Craig Allen photo).

And:

dog mom
Um...that makes for a different "family tree." (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

(Below) I'll snap the picture quickly!

dog chicken
So, it MUST be true...everything TASTES like chicken... (Craig Allen photo).

Being a cat person from about the age of 7...

cat cans
"Life is a series of cats..." and they know the sound of the whirring can opener! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

...I'm "equal opportunity" in this photo article.  Besides, my sister has both dogs and cats! Lots of both. For my family's sake, I'll keep the peace, in photo form!

Speaking of families...

family
"RRRRRR" Maybe, this should say: "Pirate On Board!" (Craig Allen photo).

Below, I'm thinking that the mom has a headache...

headache
Mom needs some Advil...or to  to see a doctor...STAT! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

...probably caused by the...

twins
Does the third kid feel...left out? (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

TWINS!

Need to "get away from it all?"

margaritaville
Does this mean "Margaritaville?" Or, is the driver a Gilligan's Island fan? (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Maybe this photo below will make you (or your young twins) feel even better!

Got cartoons?

pica
"Pika...Pika...Pikachu!" (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Got gas? Wait...that didn't sound right!

gas
Its been a talk topic at NJ101.5 lately! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

When I'm out in public representing the station, I have had listeners tell me to remind Dennis and Judi that: "Jersey Girls Don't Pump Gas!" Here it is in "sticker" form!

At the top, I did mention politics, right?

Hope & change
The answer is different for each of us... (Craig Allen photo).

Hey, I'm fair to both sides of the political "equation" (even though they may fight like "cats and dogs")...

obama 08
This bumper sticker has been on for awhile...and looks like it has traveled many miles! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Here's one more that I am just starting to see on the Jersey highways and byways:

bummer
I'm thinking this one is one the same side as the first political sticker... (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Wherever you stand politically...

negative
Lets try THIS! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

"Can't We All Just Get Along?"

Sticker EDIT
Um...yeah..."hindsight is 20/20"...of course. (Craig Allen photo)
loading...

OK...Maybe not!

Moving along:

Proud parents...

boots
Stay safe! (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

Thank YOU for your service, m'aam!"

There's a bumper sticker...a window sticker...a car magnet...for every personality, and every cause...or so it seems to me after just a few days of random viewing and photo snapping!

not speeding
Another way of saying that this Jersey driver is a...lead foot? (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

And, I could go on and on, but YOUR eyes will "glaze over."

So, I'll close out with one that's "tried and true:"

baby
A classic...with an unintentional Hitchcock-style "cameo." (Craig Allen photo).
loading...

A car "classic," serving families (with or without twins) since approximately 1986.

What have you seen? And...what does it say about the driver?

Feel free to share in words...although a picture is worth, well...you know.
