When I graduated from High School (back in the Jurassic Period), it was common to paint your car with funny sayings. I painted my Olive Green 1968 Pontiac Tempest like a Flying Tigers P-40. I had the shark face in the front, multi-color flames out of the wheel wells, my name on the side along with various kill signs (e.g., silhouettes of rabbits, mail boxes, baby carriages, and a few old ladies with canes), a skull and crossbones flag flying from the antenna, and written across the rear of the truck was "Sayonara Sucker!".
The greatest compliment I received was at a traffic light. An older gentleman who was of an age to have served in WWII gave my car a very stern looking over from bumper to bumper. Then affixing me with his gaze, gave me an enthusiastic "thumbs up". That was a pretty cool moment for a WWII history geek like myself.
