The best line about the Nurburgring was several years ago back on Speed Channel at the beginning of their German Grand Prix coverage. "Ah, the Nurburgring. A track where blah blah blah, history, blah blah blah, drivers, blah blah blah. And today we're bringing you a race from right next to it."

Not seen but may be one I'll get eventually: "You aren't a dog so stop sniffing my a$$".
"The closer you get, ..... the slower I go" is one I'm surely going to get. It's something I do and works rather well to shake off tailgaters. In my area it seems slowing to about ten under the speed limit usually works. A few times I've been passed while doing five over the speed limit. I used to brake check tailgaters till I started seeing a lot more SUVs on the road.

Not a bumper sticker - intentionally!
Not really a fuel sipper either... yet the sticker will help against tailgaters.
