I only have two decorations on my car…

…but I have at least a 5 sticker road rage temper. Aggro Drivers More Likely To Have Bumper Stickers, Says Dude In Lab Coat (first heard on the Adam Carolla Radio Show, where I perked up after hearing my Alma Mater mentioned):
Psychologist William Szlemko of Colorado State University has been studying the aggressive-driving tendencies of those who personalize their cars with stickers, vanity plates, etc., and he claims that his study shows that the more personalized “territorial markers” on a car, the more aggressive its driver is likely to be.
In another news article they said it doesn’t matter if the stickers are peaceful (”Visualize World Peace,” “Free Tibet,” et al), the results were the same.
I have a Triumph sticker that has seen the ice scraper one too many times, and an embossed fish with “N’CHIPS” in the center.
