I always see it on mini trucks and other utes around here -__-
when you think about it its so hypocritical cause all the guys that have it on their cars around here are young and mostly un employed and i see em at the club all the time wasting all their money on booze

Funniest sticker I have ever seen.
On the back of a truly ratty Peugeot of late sixties vintage : mismatched body panels , beaded seat covers , the whole bit.

"This is NOT an abandoned vehicle"

Made me laugh.

Alright, here are mine...
The Jim Beam logo from a few years back, I think it came free with a bottle (IMO Jim Beam is a rubbish bourbon anyway)
Any alcohol sticker really although the bar runners as a dash mat makes me giggle!
Tonic.... What ever that is???
The logo that a lot of the people of Indian appearance have om their cars
...... and wait for it....
The bloody southern cross.

The only 2 stickers I have on either of my cars are both on the Pig and are a GT Ford Performance sticker (The store in Niddre) and a Clevo Mafia sticker which also mentions the AFF.

That's it!

That’s another one that puzzles me. The last car I saw with one of those stickers on it was parked next to a tree and at first, I thought that a bird had crapped on it.

I have the southern cross on the back of my ute... But at least it's incorporated into my tattoo design and not just stamped?

Here is my problem with the southern cross..
Gordz, this is a great effort to incorporate the cross in a piece of art work that has ,at least , a semblance of meaning for you. Everything else I see that incorporates the Southern Cross is just plain lazy. common as muck(read 80's 90's tribal armbands)tattoos, or dumb plain 5 star stickers. It became the tattoo, and sticker, of (lazy) choice a few years ago and I for 1 can't wait till it has run it's course. Happy to be flamed if any one can tell me why it has not had the same veneration since federation that it has enjoyed since September 2001

Thats what I was going for zdcol mate. It's my family story really. The shield in the middle is my family coat of arms, the celtic knots as our heritage and the southern cross for where I am now. I see the constellations as a much more meaningful (and permenant) description of australia, rather than our union jack or australian flag, so definately didn't want to brand myself with that!

Completely legal in QLD, not sure about other states. That is where mine is, I don't need to look at it all the time.

Personally I do not see an issue, they know where to find it. Just like a motorbike rego sticker can be on the back of the bike or on the side, I don't have to stick it to my forehead.

It looks a little more cartoonish on the cars though...
If it is the Sikh symbol that would make sence...
IMO the worst of the worst.

It's called an Om symbol and symbolizes some of the most profound concepts of Hindu belief. It also one of the most internationally recognized symbols of Hinduism.

I should know I had an ex boyfriend who was Hindu..

That's where mine is. The law says you can have it on the bottom left of the windscreen, or on ANY fixed panel of glass on the LHS of the car.

My Patrol has a southern cross sticker on one side window, also has the boxing kangaroo on the bullbar, both were on there when i got it and i think they look ok, I've added an Autobots one on the windscreen and one that says "Curiosity didn't kill the cat, My car did" lol, that one gets the thumbs up at times lol

On my Falcon i have the FPV Club of TAS sticker across my windscreen, on my quarter panel windows i have my Windsor Warlords sticker and on the back window i have a GRUNT FILES and Bros exhaust stickers, might sound alot but i think they look good on the car
