One mobile abridged library, comin' up

My new used Oldsmobile, a.k.a. Harold the Hoopty Car, desperately needs a bumper sticker. Originally, I was going to order a Trogdor the Burninator thing, but you can only get it as part of a $12 four-pak, and they're charging something like five bucks in shipping, aaaaaaaand I'm not going there, thank you. Plan #2 was to scan in the "Harold the Hoopty Car" card from our Chez Geek set, enlarge it somewhat, get it copied onto a full-sheet magnet, and cut it out, but I don't know how weatherproof it would be. Plan #3—rifling through random catalogs—is excellent for reminding yourself of how many craptastic bumper stickers are on the market today.

Congratulations, dear reader. You've officially been designated Plan #4.

Any suggestions as to where I might be able to procure a good sticker or two? Any and all suggestions will be considered.

I talked to my coworker yesterday about bumper sticker making. She told me about a sticker factory in Albany. Behind the factory if a dumpster where they throw out the ends of rolls of stickers. Sometimes they have multiple feet of still usable blank white sticker material. Also sometimes there are some amusing stickers in there. I plan to stop by some night and do a dumpster dive. If you are still looking to make a Hoopty sticker, I'll save you some.
