The ingredients needed to make a sticker are rather simple: vinyl, glue, ink and a backing material. Then there’s the magical pixie dust, the artwork that gives a sticker life, value and meaning.
Who among us hasn’t attached something special to a sticker? Exactly: zero.
It’s ho…
As soon as I get home I will post my vintage 80's mini collection ... or what my mom did not throw away.

Please share. Remember those prism BMX stickers from the '70s? I have a ton of those--like, the full inventory from a shop that went out of business in the mid '80s. One day I need to photograph and share.
I used up the majority of my sticker collection a few weeks ago on the exposed wheel well in the van.

Had a bunch of those that you would get out of the little coin slide machines at the skating rink as a kid
I'm weirdly hesitant to actually use stickers, like if I stick them to a car then the car will someday go away and I'll lose my sticker along with it. Or the laptop will break and my sticker will be wasted, etc.
That said, I think I'm going to start putting stickers on parts that could be transferred to another car, like a spoiler or something.
Here's some of the ones I picked up recently from OHOAT (I know David will know):
Ha, I ordered one of those same stickers. Plus I have Syd's stickers on the M3.
I have a box full of run of the mill stickers, but a bunch of oddball and vintage bike stuff. But here's some car stickers
This is my porting vac. I have different attachments for different size ports. After I sold my first house I drove by one day and saw it at the curb so, knowing how well it always worked, I scooped it. It has to be at least 40 years old and still works great.
These are really cool. The material is like chrome and the individual stickers pull out.
That's my buddy's Metro on the tech stickers. I set a record in that car
Reminds me of when I took the Merc wagon on BABE8 and everyone kept adding window stickers along the way.
They really do turn into a visible personal history. I'd love to throw this toolbox away but don't want to loose the stickers!
First post so not sure if my pic is loading correctly but my sticker fridge can be seen behind the suspended rear suspension.
The toolbox is the only current cluster. Every skateboard, helmet, car, bike, and bass drum head was filled up until I hit 30 though. Ha!
I had the young men at the last autocross apply a million stickers to the front of the Zoomboni. Amazon sells piles of band stickers for super cheap.
