Cool and thanks for adding us to the mix.

My aunt and uncle had the sign out by the road, the sliding front door, and the piano from Gilley's for a while.
Left side of my '74 Beetle has some of my favorite record stores on it. I've cleaned it up recently to give myself more of a view, but I still have 1 more sticker to put back on.
UHF Records - Royal Oak, MI
Dead Wax - St. Louis, MO
Third Coast - Muskegon, MI
Amoeba Records - Berkley, CA
Flat black & Circular - East Lansing, MI
RPM Records - Traverse City, MI
Believe In Music - kaput
Detroit Record Club - Detroit, MI
Still need to put on my Wax Trax sticker (Chicago, Illinoize)
My favorite sticker on the car (maybe on all my cars) - the ancient AAA of Michigan club sticker on the back. It's so burned in to the paint that it's now in a symbiotic relationship with the car. It's never coming off.

Almost two years later, but found it . Tons gone, but a few were saved.
Also Chris' Kitchen is long gone since 1985 ...

The Mark Gonzales artwork is a true classic. Thanks for sharing.
I used to have those in different colors. They came with a Mark Gonzales skateboard I bought in 1988 ... unfortunately my mom thought it was taking too much space in her garage and threw it away instead of giving it to me
She also threw away my Santa Cruz Jeff Grosso toybox one
You might have seen this one, from my daughters project. Some saved up stickers from years ago but most from the SEMA show floor.
Saw a picture of the typical guy's garage. Had a sticker on his roll around tool chest that said, "On a quiet night you can hear the Fords rusting."
Fantastic old thread and cool article. Like several dudes here, I too have a "fear of committing" and actually sticking a sticker--what it was destined and intended to do. Hence, I have only one cabinet with stickers and a drawer full of them. Funny, but I purchased a bunch of "JDM" stickers recently and others from ebay for the 240Z once I get it buttoned up. Many will go on suspension pieces in the rear where no one will see them unless it's on a lift. But hey, I know they are there.
These are some I collected in Elementary High school in the late 60s early 70s. I actually did odd jobs for Speed World
While I'm less of a "failure to commit" mentality, and just going for the "sticker-bomb" look, I do seem to have a "failure to finish" issue with some panels and can't seem to finish one area before starting on another.
Here are some of my car-related stickers. Yes I had an rotary, two FD RX-7s (and hence lots of tools!). My current toy is a Miata, and of course I always have a pickup.
Got a couple new stickers from our favorite bbq restaurant on their 30th anniversary. Rolled prices back to 1993 for the day. If ever in Northwest Arkansas, I recommend visiting the Penguin.
I've had these a long time. They hardly even stick to the backing paper they came on any more, but what do you expect for something the World's Fastest Clown printed at home anyways.
A few pics of the Craftsman toolbox my dad bought me when I started driving. It doubled as my slot car box for a little while too, until I bought a cheap tackle box for that.
