My vote is passenger side. That gives rubbernecking only when the vehicle is stopped, as Basjoos probably isn't a permanent resident of the passing lane.

That's completely ridiculous, at best. First of all, to even notice it was there, they'd have to be in front of him and doing a speed relatively close to his. The odds of someone noticing that it's there from the side are relatively nil.
Have you ever driven with a '92-95 Civic behind you? You can hardly see the hood if they're at a safe distance, it appears as though the car is flat from bumper to windshield, with only a slight upward slant between the two. Nothing would be legible there.
Secondly, even if they did notice it while they were passing him b/c they didn't want to follow his "slow" car, why, then, would they pull over in front of him, and slow down, maintaining that "slow" speed, just to attempt to read what the hood (which they can hardly see in the mirror to begin with) says?
I understand that people have a propensity toward ignorance, but something they most likely won't be able to see is hardly going to cause them to pique their interest while attempting to show off how big their car-penis is, by passing basjoos's road-plane on the highway, or any road for that matter.
That said, the passenger side is much larger, and still points away from the fuel pumps while you're gassing up... so drive up with your passenger side facing the store, so you're mentally assaulting everyone that comes out/goes in the door. Much better way to get the word out. :P
