Conversations with the car ahead

You know how you can find yourself glancing at decals and stickers on the back of the vehicle ahead of you at a traffic light?

Sure. And sometimes you can imagine a conversation with the driver based on the information before you.

Well, here’s my ranking of what does or does not make you wish you could say something. You will notice I left politics out of this.

4. License plate for a far-away state where you used to live. (Bonus points if it is a small state.)

3. College sticker for a far-away school at which a member of your family matriculated. (Bonus points if it is a college known for something other than sports.)

2. License plate holder or other indication that the vehicle was purchased at a dealership in a distant city where you once lived. (This trumps out-of-state license plates because it is much more geographically specific.)

1. A sticker for a far-away national park you love.
