Years ago, when my mom totalled her car, she lost her bumper stickers. Mom got a new green car and my sister drove her to a store to replace the stickers. It was back in the Bush era, so the bumper stickers were like "Bush lied, People died" and "Some Texas village is missing its idiot". Mom headed out to the street curb in front of my sister's house and started plastering her new bumper. My sister's neighbor wandered out, looking quizzically at my mom; Mom was mistakenly plastering HIS green car. The neighbor was nice and Mom apologized while peeling off the bumper decor. So, maybe, with a new, unfamiliar car, double check before applying bumper stickers!
