Default Drive an xB naked

There was a seller on eBay some time ago that had stickers that said "Life's short. Drive an xB naked" with a caricature on it. They aren't on eBay that I can find and I need that sticker.

Has anyone else seen this and know where I can get one?

Thanks.

create the design in photoshop or even paint, and take a jpeg or pdf to your local sign shop or anywhere that can print vinyl stickers.... car shops, the mall, etc.. it's mostly text and should be very easy to create. if you can't make it, pm me and i'll create the art for you

I don't normally object to matters of personal expression, but I have to warn you all: I hate those stickers SO VERY MUCH, that if I ever come up behind another xB with one in the window, I'm hitting the gas instead of the brake. I need a new front bumper anyway.

if you're going THAT route, you may as well just complete the "cliche suburbanite" look, and get a magnetic ribbon around Calvin peeing on a Jesus fish. ;)

what works for some doesn't work for all... thats why there are not 1000's of xb's out there that are identical.. it's all about personal taste... granted i hate stickers of all types, but i wouldn't openly admit to wanting to crash my car into someone who decided to put some lame sticker on theirs... i figure it makes my car look better next to theirs, but hey... to each his own right?

Well, I don't do any mythology, so if I had the fish it would be the Darwin one. But thanks for the warning. At least I'll know who it is that hits the gas.

I took it as tongue-in-cheek. At least his didn't just shout "Search is your friend".

Yes, I was TOTALLY SERIOUS about causing thousands of dollars in property damage, to the property of a stranger, over a sticker. Internet, I have a friend I'd like you to meet. His name is Sense of Humor.

My point, which I tried to soften with a technique I like to call "humor" is, those stickers are as cookie-cutter as it comes. DRIVE A SATURN NAKED...DRIVE A CAVALIER NAKED...DRIVE A MINI NAKED...you guys haven't seen these things everywhere? They're the antithesis of individual expression. I see about three of these a day, on everything from Dodge Rams to minivans. I thought the point of these things was to be different.

I mean, whoever makes these is just so obviously deleting the name of the previous car and putting in the new one. Have you seen the one that says "DRIVE A XB NAKED"? That's not even grammatically correct, for God's sake...because it used to be Ford or GM. At least get something that's xB-specific.

I tried to be nicer than "OMG THOSE ARE EVERYWHERE WHY WOULD YOU WANT ONE?"... it would be nice if people would reciprocate and not freak out, especially when even the original poster realized it was a joke. And since someone had already offered to MAKE HIM ONE FOR FREE, j1Slim, I didn't really feel I had anything to add to the original question.

So, Mr. Radiate, good luck with your stickers, and if I see you...I promise I'll just wave.
