I submit this, a firebird decal on a 1999 Subaru Forester that I photatoed this morning while getting coffee. I will call it the Subaru Forest-Firebird.

Please post your best/worst below for my continued enjoyment while I spend the rest of the day witting emails with bullet points.

I like the really subtle ones, like the prancing moose on Volvos and Saabs. On mine I have a helmet decal of my college crest placed in the bottom corner of the liftgate.

Also the Thule rack and fairing I got off craigslist was covered in stickers so I removed everything with some isopropyl alcohol and put a white VW decal off to one side.

Every Pinewood Derby car ever. In particular this one inspired by Richard Petty’s Superbird.

Subtile = cool. I don’t like big decals, keep it clean and subtile.

This is the main reason I want my son to join boy scouts, so we can build a 2001 Ferrari F1 pine-wood derby car.

I used to have a pic of a green Chevy Sonic with a dragon on the side, but I no longer have the picture.

Part of me kind of wants to recreate this vinyl on my FR-S, but replace GT-S with FR-S. I know it’d be kinda ricey, but I like the idea of the homage; especially since I will have RS Watanabes on the car in the spring too.

I don’t plan on having kids for awhile, but when I already am excited for the opportunity to play with Legos, make Pinewood Derby cars, and all that other fun kid stuff it’d be creepy to see a childless 27 year old man doing. lol

And I saw an F250 with a dinasaur breathing fire (no shit) but it was the resturant owners truck and he might have spit in my burrito if photographed it.
