Not funny, but a sticker, none the less. Too bad the windshield is cracked and I'll have to replace it.

Here's a fantasy sticker I created just for fun. It's based on a 1944 wartime California registration sticker, altered and updated to imply an inspection sticker (even though they weren't used here in 1954). I've found that a surprising number of people fail to notice the YOM 1954 plates, but do see the sticker and realize the year of the car without having to ask me. So it serves a purpose of sorts. I was also able to Photoshop the original number to change it to match my plates. (That was tricky given the background pattern which was specifically designed to prevent alteration.)

I was cleaning out a drawer and found this old decal. It's an old Government Employee Exchange tag. They were like a Costco for govt workers and their families. Thought it would be funny on my bus. I guess only vw owners would get the joke.

Ha-ha, you should do a T-shirt

Leave off the Premium Gasoline part I think and it looks like a pro-USA shirt too so funny for VW people but also USA-themed

"Roots Rock Reggae" show ran from 1974 to 2008, hosted by Lance Linares.
KUSP went off the air five years ago.
End of an era!
I run this sticker in memorium.

Linares and his radio colleagues Doug Wendt in the Bay Area and Roger Steffens in Los Angeles found the field wide open. They filled their air time with music they traded among themselves: singles, LPs and cassettes of rare studio and live recordings. Reggae, dub, rocksteady, and ska were explored in depth. Because they were serious collectors there was no shortage of material. And listeners loved it.

Linares noted that the rise of KUSP was concurrent with the breakthrough of reggae in the U.S. He was receiving a steady stream of promotional albums and eventually became acquainted with concert promoters bringing reggae music to California.

In addition to Marley and the Wailers, KUSP did live broadcasts of Santa Cruz performances by Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Gregory Issacs, The Mighty Diamonds and The Itals—about a dozen concerts total between 1978 and 1984, during what Linares called “the golden age of reggae.”

In the early 1990's I bought a non-running '72 Standard Beetle for cheap a few towns over, and did a budget revival to get it going again. During a business trip to Germany, I met up with a friend in Wolfsburg who was an authority on vintage VWs, VW factory early history; and also VW toys/models. He gave me a large decal which I put onto the '72. Unfotunately you cannot see it clearly here and I probably don't have a better shot of it handy, but it's a long red line with a Beetle body shape to the right. German script "Ich gehoer dazu" (I belong). It may have been a promotional decal from VW as it was building up its long vintage history public awareness.
