We encounter many vehicles on the road with adhesive labels on their car bumpers. They usually contain messages that express viewpoints of the car owners. These bumper stickers are often made of PVC to make them more durable against changing weather conditions.
Bumper sticker designs are varied. They can be about religion, a product advertisement or a funny sign. Some stickers promote philosophical or political positions. Still, some show support to sports teams, organizations and causes that vehicle owners believe in. If you are a ferret owner, have fun and attach an FRW bumper sticker on your car. Who knows, you just might meet another ferret lover along the way.
