Apropos of which:

Note "GB" sticker on German car, for extra irony points. What would our Founding Fathers have thought?

He's a Hessian -- get him!


There are a bunch of people that think the "B" stands for British. My stepdad did...

I hate that the don't tread on me slogan has been stolen and corrupted.

On the GB, I've stopped assuming any of those stickers mean anything since everything has a sticker regardless of whether there's another meaning.

When I first moved to San Diego, I couldn't understand why so many people had OB tampon stickers on their cars. And then I found Ocean Beach.

You mean those aren't Ocean Beach brand tampons?

I see an OB sticker here multiple times per day. Yes, they are "Zonies"...

Went to cars & coffee this morning and saw some neat stuff, but this red corvette was the most notable as it was my "new" vette's previous owner's car.

It was crazy pulling up and seeing this guy do a double take and say "that was my car!"

About a week after I sold my '69 Corvette I came home one day to see my former car parked on the opposite corner. Saw it three or four more times over the next month or so. I think the buyer was dating a woman that lived nearby. Never saw the dude, though, just the car.

just think the fun you could have had goofing on this dude if you had kept an extra set of keys!

First time seeing an M5 in Sakhir Orange. It looks good.
