Why not? It’s just a transportation appliance.

It does say subaru on it...somewhere among the chaff.

By the way none of my 6 subarus have ever had that done to them.

To express individuality in a world of marketing that does not include a neck tattoo.

Not my thing, but starting in 1983 I've had a tiger striped van, a zebra striped Tracker, and currently a razzle dazzle S10 pickup truck.

Bumper stickers as wallpaper are for those unwilling or unable to custom paint their own vehicle is my take.

^^^ looking down at the front wheel reminded me of a day back in my youth. I was riding my Schwinn home one evening when I heard a squealing from the front wheel. So I leaned over to hear the squeal better and when I looked up, I saw the rear end of a parked car. Bang! Up and over the car I went. Front wheel on the bike was bent in half. No damage to the car.

I believe I was sitting in that car with my mom. The look on your face was priceless.

Fun fact. We discovered as kids that the rear bumper on the local Buick was the perfect height to rear-end on our bikes. The front wheel would lock under the bumper and we could pivot on it and, if you were brave enough, flip onto the trunk . . .
