Last night !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to don one of these spectacular specimens of irony on a hypothetical car.

I then get back a bunch of serious responses about the meaning of the leaf, and questions about why I’d want to tell everybody that I’m a 16 year old and a novice. Do people really not understand that’s the joke behind the sticker?

No one, that I’ve ever seen at least, puts these on badass Skylines or Supras. Like the Thebloody, Head Wrangler of Salsburry put it, one places this sticker on a “RHD VW from Japan... along with its Japanese license plates.” If you see one of on a clapped out Daihatsu with a fart can, relax, the driver of the car knows that his car is ridiculous, that’s why he got this bumper sticker in the first place.

I want to see this on something like a Corvette. Or an M3. Something it definitely doesn't belong on.

I’m disinclined to put that sticker on any car I might own because I have class and do not desire to have the fuck word written my vehicles.

I want to see it on a JDM as fuck Toyota Cavalier.

I would never take anyone seriously that had that on their car.

Nor are you meant to.

Personally I’m not a stickers kinda guy. The only stickers I put on my cars are the ones legally mandated to be there. That being said I’ve got an Oppo sticker that will go on my rat rod ... eventually.

At which point, no one will take you seriously:)

It’s the internet. Must use /s or internets won’t get it.

Haha so good! Would love to have a stockpile of these to go slapping on any car I see that is bone stock and over $100k.

They already don’t I’ve learned to deal with it.

JDM / Leaf stickers are the Japanese equivalent of the Fender/Rookie strips on American cars. We get it, you like cars. Everyone can already tell by how shitty its modified.

Shocker stickers are also meant to be a joke, doesn’t mean they aren’t tacky as hell.

The only rookie stripes I’m familiar with on American cars are these NASCAR ones:

My understanding of the ‘Grand Sport’ style fender stripes were that they were used to differentiate between race cars with the same paint scheme, so you could tell one from the other at a glance.

Yea I know but people still refer to them as rookie stripes sometimes. Also InB4 USDM guys start putting nascar rookie stripes on their cars.

I saw one of these on a Kentucky-built Camry once. I lol’d. You should just put one on your Texas-built Tundra. Maybe get a magnet so you can take it off when you need to look “professional.”

That would indeed be a proper usage.

It clashes with the truck nutz I have dangling from my rear bumper.

Truck nuts make me want to carry around bolt cutters so I can castrate people’s trucks. They are tasteless, offensive, and anyone who puts such a thing on their vehicle is a philistine.

You (not you personally, the collective you) may think they are a joke, but the rest of us are aren’t laughing.

The general public probably won’t get it.

I bought one of those “Ferari” shirts with the Mustang instead of the prancing horse. People seem to react in a manor suggesting that I’m a “Ferrari douchebag” (or just one of those types who wears Ferrari gear but doesn’t have one) and not a car guy wearing a funny shirt.

I’m going to get NASCAR rookie stripes made and put them on the back of every Camry I walk past.

It’s usually put on head pipe problem’d impreza WRX and cheap rice can civics. It's a maturity thing.

Mustn’t come off as immature!

It’s more that I’ve -known- people who put these, as well as a bunch of other “JDM” bullshit, on their cars (often Cavaliers), and they were doing it completely unironically.

Those people are sad, and deserve your pity, if anything.

TheOnelectronic > Money Hustard 08/10/2015 at 19:31

The other thing is, I’ve never known anyone to do any of that that /wasn’t/ a total tool about it. So it’s pretty firmly ingrained in my mind as an undesirable symbol.

Weird, I’ve had a completely opposite experience among JDM enthusiasts. I’ve found them to be self-deprecating to a fault.

I really think a large portion of people with these stickers don’t get it. When you’re driving a Civic with a fart can, it’s hard to imagine you understand any sort of depth.

Of anything at all really.

If I’ve learned anything in my life, people are the same where ever you go. It’s likely you’d have plenty to talk about with the Civic con fart can crew. It’s just ask likely you’d find people you don’t like among you own enthusiast niche. Don’t prejudge someone based on their car, it’s a huge mistake to make.

It’s hard to know what that fart can means to them.

There are good and bad everywhere, certainly. But I believe it’s skewed for some. Those with fart cans are more bad than good.
