I saw a photo of one with a family of a dad, mum, and three kids. The wife was crossed out with the writing above it and an arrow that said "position vacant".

Thought that was good

My mates brother had one that's called the "*** family" under each figure there is a name for each one "Smart, lazy, smelly" etc.

Glad to see the frangipani stickers have all just about vanished, or faded out.

Yeah I saw that on a VE ute the other day 386 and the weren't exactly straight and level either.

Any sort of power I have I would keep under wraps. Sort of like guys boasting how big in the pants they are, but there's the guy who's quiet about and could satisfy a blue whale.....

Yes, my daughter showed me an online photo of a "stick figure family" sticker and to the left of the father was another female stick figure with "Candy" as a name (The others had mum, dad, etc under them). It said he added it to his neighbours car and was waiting to see how long before they noticed...

That's what I was thinking of.... Thought it was funny.

Seen one yesterday on the back of a Commodore that was doggie style with YA Mum on the female...

Saw a VR Commodore in Melbourne a few years ago, obviously owned by an Indian person with a huge "The Turbinator" sticker along the sides, classic.

On the topic of "My Family" stickers. I have seen a few "making my family" ones with couple of stick figures in the doggy style position.

The best one I ever saw was on a Nissan Skyline a few years ago.
The bloke had his mobile number and the word "Single" next to it.
I wasn't surprised.
