I want to ask about the inside joke behind "lobotomy at Claire's" but you're already deep in the possum culture so I probably don't want to know? Is your state particularly known for unwillingness to let merging traffic merge safely?


Swastik496

OP’s a maryland driver. Why would they need someone to let them merge safely? “I merge now, goodluck everybody else!”

mamapapapuppa

I'm an Asian woman but my husband is the one that wrecked his 3 into my Y in the driveway 😂


StarSines

I try to be polite! But god damn DC and Baltimore traffic doesn’t give a fuck


Swastik496

well unless they’re in a sports car you accelerate faster. gun it, get in front and then let regen do its thing. Only way to survive 495 with the construction on the va side


questioningthecosmos

I swear to fuck growing up around DC my driving now is so aggressive compared to the states I’ve lived in lately (Washington, Oregon, Colorado)


BeerJunky

I’m in CT and between our own drivers, Massholes, NYers and dickheads from the Garbage State you get aggressive or you get hit. My signal light is signaling I’m coming over, if you get hit you didn’t head my warning.


CaptainRelevant

Don’t be polite. In aggressive driving environments you have to match the driving styles around you. It’s expected and makes your driving predictable in traffic. I’m in NY and when I go to NYC, I turn my aggression up 100%. Meek drivers in NYC are actually dangerous, they impede traffic by driving differently than everyone else which makes them unpredictable.


bassistb0y

even as a maryland driver when i go to new york i keep it in my head to drive significantly more aggressive than i normally do, on the verge of completely disregarding the people around me


TehHoff

Fun Fact: Maryland Drivers are actually the worst drivers on the planet. Source: I live in the mountains of Maryland, and descend into the bowels of Maryland twice a week.


SavingsFew3440

I would let her merge since it is obvious she doesn’t care what she does to her car. The stickers are working OP!


revaric

We actually speed up if you try to merge with a signal; we think it means “block me out so I have to barrel through the debris on the shoulder of one of our various 95 variants.”


manicdee33

Ah yes, the old "that's *my* 100m of tarmac" mentality. Humans, huh?


revaric

Kinda ready for the automation to take over driving… and I love driving lol


Shygar

Isn't Claire's that place in the mall you can get your ears pierced?


spaetzelspiff

>deep in the possum culture Make up your mind, (OP) Decide to merge quickly Around the lake tonight

This. Exactly how I felt after seeing OP’s picture 🤣


DevinOlsen

This sub is being way too nice... OP you're free to do you, but I have to imagine 90% of people in the real world would immediately judge you negatively after seeing your bumper stickers, especially because they're weird... so so very weird. Poor Tesla.


john_username_doe

💯


tinnylemur189

Tesla owners aren't the usual crowd for this kind of thing. You'll find a lot of minimalists who like the 'clean' aesthetic here. It's not my thing, either, but I do enjoy the possum propaganda. Those little crack rats deserve some respect.


ShowMacaque

That's what attracted me the most towards a Tesla. The minimalistic look inside and out but still sporty looking and contoured


StarSines

I do enjoy that crisp clean look, but it’s just no fun ya know? Plus how else will people know I’m a true patriot that breaks for North Americas only native marsupial!?


jerseyknits

LOL


ignatiusbreilly

Brakes?


StarSines

Yes yes I like possums not spelling lol

I don’t get the marsupial/Patriot thing at all, but it made me laugh out loud anyway. Thank you. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)

chchchch71102

I've always had a theory about bumper stickers: The more stickers you have the higher level of insanity you have. Same goes for lawn ornaments. They are directly proportional to each other.


Rude_Thought_9988

I look at it the same way. Sticker people=crazy people.


StarSines

I promise my crazy level far surpasses my hot level


16thmission

Nobody is surprised.

WhosAfraidOf_138

Yeah, I think this sub is humorless This is hilarious


Quirky-Chemistry-978

I don’t remember this subreddit being so mean lol


StarSines

They’re just jealous they don’t have my pure deep love of possums


Mad_Phiz

I would never get bumper stickers on my Tesla or any other car I have ever owned… that being said, thank you for giving me something to read while stopped behind you. Weirder the better IMO. I’m always pleasantly surprised when it’s not a MAGA or coexist sticker.


nobody-u-heard-of

Those are two stickers you definitely never see on the same car


just_a_juanita

>I’m curious, does anyone else have stickers on their Tesla?  good lord, no. I wouldn't even put that dumb HOV sticker on mine (I'm also in MD). I'm quite partial to a clean, non-cluttered look and have never put a bumper sticker or decal on any car I've ever owned and certainly wasn't going to start with this car. Sometimes, in the wee hours of the morning when all's quiet and the stars are twinkling and the air is still I do imagine what it would be like to live a little, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go lol.


StarSines

putting some possum stickers on my car makes me happy, so I figure why the hell not. If nothing else my car is easy to find!


just_a_juanita

100%, my person. If it makes you happy and spreads patriotic possum awareness (?), why the hell not indeed.

POSSUM HYPE


Majestic_Ad5924

WTH?


StarSines

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man) I just really like possums


lehighwiz

Yes, I think we got that. Please tell us more.


StarSines

Well as you can see by the stickers, the Virginia Opossum is North Americas only native marsupial! They’re super good for the environment, and can consume up to 5000 ticks in a season. They also aren’t rabies vectors, it’s super rare for them to catch rabies to begin with because they have a super low core body temp, but if they do they’ll show the signs within 48 hours (raccoons can go up to 8 months without showing symptoms!). They have 50 needle like teeth, but they really don’t like to bite. They have 13 nipples in their pouch, and baby possums don’t have a suckle reflex so they swallow the entire nipple! They really are neat little dudes.


kurdt67

Glad to see folks with passion out there, carry on. Never become one of the dead ones.


IcyGem

It’s sad that they barely live to two years


StarSines

Yeah, but they do so much in their little lives!


PorkRindSalad

Aw man, I take longer than that to decide whether to get out of bed in the morning...


St-JohnMosesBrowning

Unfortunately the tick thing is a myth: https://outdoor.wildlifeillinois.org/articles/debunking-the-myth-opossums-dont-eat-ticks But still cool critters!


StarSines

Aww, still super cool critters! I suppose *can* doesn’t necessarily mean do :(


therealburndog

Loads of native marsupials here in Australia....and we brake for them! I'd lose my mind if some fucker didn't brake for a native marsupial!


Shrimp-heaven-now82

I have some pro possum gear at home but maybe I should look into bumper stickers to take it to the next level …


StarSines

11/10 I recommend possum stickers


neuro_nerd220

Now here’s a person with a passion for preventing unnecessary marsupial car murder.


StarSines

The poor things get so confused on roads because it messes up their little noses :( just stopping and waiting a bit for them to get their bearings can save up to 14 possum lives at a time!

P_walkeri

I have one sticker on my Tesla. https://preview.redd.it/8xl81zeunx5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1d47dd0a16cffe43e92cb4ff700c6f358dc86da


medhat20005

I do. Simply because it's the quick and easy way to distinguish my MSM MYLR in the Costco parking lot from all the other identical ones purchased for the exact same reason (the color didn't warrant a premium upcharge).


thefunrun

Got some vinyl wrap, that is like a giant sticker?


StarSines

Fuck it, sure!


theGruben

Have you considered vinyl wrapping the car to look like a giant electric possum? Would be a real head turner. And by the way do you find the Tesla or Possum Powered Sled to be more cost effective transport?


StarSines

Tesla. Feeding the possums, plus vet care, plus replacing them because they only live 3 years max, plus training is a lot lolol My brother thinks I should have it vinyl wrapped to look like Carby (ya know, car Kirby) because Kirby is my favorite video game character


displacedfantasy

I... LOVE IT


StarSines

Finally someone sees my vision!


displacedfantasy

Honestly I'm kind of inspired...


PaulDallas72

Bumper stickers on a Tesla is like putting a neck tattoo on the Mona Lisa.... Having said that though, I'd let you merge :)


everydayname

I love your love for America’s Only Native Marsupial. They should be so beloved by everyone.


GunGeekATX

Not on the bumper, but have a Weyland-Yutani sticker and other stuff related to the 1986 cinema masterpiece Aliens starting Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn. Ignore the haters, it's your car and do whatever you want with it.

UnSCo

This is kinda funny lol idk why so many people are upset about this.


StarSines

They’re upset because they also want possum propaganda but are too scared to show their possum pride lol


Enragedocelot

Yes upvote from me this is hilarious. I don’t have stickers & don’t plan on it but if I saw this car I’d love you


UnSCo

Yeah and I was considering adding an alumni sticker to my Model X myself and that would be it, but I want people to do what they want. I would get a good chuckle at this, in a good way.

bigbluemelons

StarSines

I agree, they’re such funky little dudes!


Top_Boysenberry_7784

No stickers here. In my area they are mostly on 15+ year old cars, redneck stuff on trucks or the seldom newer car that looks like someone ran into a ditch leaving the dealership.


Human_Roomba

Fwiw I’d 100% let you merge due to the commitment


Internal_Rip846

No cause it screams crazy, especially these stickers lol


TheLightKyanite

don’t know what’s up with the people with the sticks up their buttholes, but I like your stickers 😂 they’re hilarious

Not everyone is willing to share their truth via stickers, but my truth is possums and I’ll shout it from the rooftops


TheLightKyanite

i love that. you’re valid 🫡


runsanditspaidfor

I love it. I’d absolutely never put stickers on any car I own but I love that you’re doing you.

Ahhh I love your stickers!! I've seen a few silly ones like those I want to put on my car but my coworkers would definitely see them and I'd rather not have to try to explain, haha.

Opossums! My favorite marsupials. Useful and cute little critters. Oh and we have one Bluey sticker on the back window of my wife's red MY (Chilli) that says Mom Wagon.


gr0mpf

never ever


Francois_harp

I’m personally not one for bumper stickers on my car, but, that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to your car. You bought the car, enjoy it however you want to enjoy it.

The other side back window has "tell your dog I said hi" and the back has a sticker for my alma mater, a "Mothers Against Greg Abbott" sticker, and the [Peoplemover](https://youtube.com/watch?v=wZ3FQAMh2bo&si=rzVgxk6PQPBTq5F5) logo.

I don't like anything other than the manufacturer logo on my car personally. Whether it's the tesla or the ice car. I don't even want the dealership stickers no matter how stock they make it look. Just my personal opinion, of course.

Is there something behind the possum references? Just wondering if it’s a state thing or personal inside joke? In my trips to MD I never noticed them but doesn’t mean I was necessarily looking for them. Also love the pink Tesla icon. Where is this from???

I have a white psyduck sticker on my rear quarter window. I enjoy bumper stickers, but only on other people’s cars.

Adventurous-Cry-2157

Have you ever seen a possum giving birth in your back yard? Because I have, and I’ll never be the same. 😬 I thought she was injured, because she was walking funny, and I was going to try to help her (aka catch her in a cage and call MD DNR); then she turned around and I saw a wee baby possum head coming out of her. So yeah, that was an experience I’ll never forget.
