As a child of the 80s, a car guy, and a mountain biker, I have thrice-reinforced addiction to stickers. In the past I've stuck some of them on the SUV or truck that I was driving at the time but of course I lost those when I cleaned up the truck to sell. My tool box is covered. I've got a wood cabinet in the shop that has gotten a few. Now I have a ton of cool stickers but I don't really want to put them on the new (nice) truck. Or the Mustang. Or the boat. And of course you have to keep a few unstuck to trade or gift in the NYG.
So where do you stick your stickers? bonus points for stick pics.
Garage wall, tool cart/chest, tool boxes, parts organizers. I segregate my stickers by topic. Garage, large tool cart get beer, car and motorcycle stickers. My bicycle tool box is covered on all sides by beer and cycling related stickers. My mountain bike is getting pretty scratched up, so it might start acquiring stickers on the frame soon.
Laptops are always good sticker recipients.

I've got a few on my toolboxes and the garage fridge.
I've not put too many on the cars, just a GRM Dork sticker on the Porsche and the FoRS. I don't think the wife would like any on her new Pacifica Hybrid, but I might sneak one or two small ones on there.
Now that my daughter is playing with her own tools, "fixing" cars, plus clambering into every single driver's seat she can (the autoshow was like Christmas for her), I'll add some stickers to some of her toys or dressers.
I'll try to add some pixxors in a little bit.
Tool boxes mostly.
I hate stickers on vehicles. That will not happen under my watch.
Another beer fridge, toolbox and track bucket sticker user here.
The car only gets 1-2.
I pretty much don't do stickers. Fun to see an old car or van covered in various stickers, but it won't ever happen to any of my junk. Wife and I used to have a bunch of refrigerator magnets on our old fridge, but stainless steel appliances pretty much wrecked that.
So, in the trash is my answer.
The only exception is for a cultural icon like the GRM sticker. Those I keep, thinking someday I'll slap one on a car. In fact, I'm not 100% certain there isn't one on the RX-7 somewhere.

Came here planning to post this. Appleseed got here first. I am not disappoint.
Previously loaded them up on the blast cabinet and old tool box. Sold them both. Have a ton more now and new tool box is wrinkle finish so they won't stick. Maybe the air compressor tank?

Seeing the SMH-D made my day.

I took my rider safety course there. Good people.
Wherever i can get away with it.
I take and stick them to magnets so I can move them between things, because I don't want to give up my precious stickers when I get rid of an old toolbox but I also hate sticking things permanent on my cars. Only downside is my two plastic cars won't keep magnets on them. On the plus side, Brian Tooley Race cams on my wife's Equinox, MSD Ignition on my diesel tractor. I also can cover my metal file cabinets with them in my office but still pull them off easily when I decide I need a bigger filing cabinet.
My pitcart is covered. They all go there. And I do not put stickers on my racecar unless that company gave me something. So since no one gives me anything the car is usually pretty nekkid.
I have an old 50s or 60s suitcase that I’ve covered in stickers. I’ll try to snap a pic tomorrow but it’s in my little ones bedroom closet.
Cars come and go, but a toolbox is forever.
Toolboxes, shelving and my desk. My box still has stickers from when I worked on motorcycles and atvs. That job ended 11 years ago
The one and only time I broke my no stickers on vehicles rule.
Garage/beer fridge. All have been freebies, but after replacing several in a year we started sticking the stickers to magnetic sheets and cutting them out so they can be moved around from the fridge to cars, bikes, or whatever. No pics at the moment...
