Thanks, I am passionate. I once did a paper on cars as works of art, which most people do not consider. They are like Rearden's buildings or Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. One thing that drives me nuts, are people who use cars as status objects, with no appreciation for the design and skill which resulted in the machine. They are glorious creations of man's ingenuity. If they go fast, all the better.
I wear a variety of WIJG sweatshirts, Rand quote shirts, and even a dollar sign necklace. It is so great when someone comes up and knows what it is all about, or expresses their agreement with Objectivism. It is also a perfect opening for sharing Rand's ideas in McD's. Nothing of any kind goes on my Camaro or Corvette, however. If someone has an issue, they will deal with me directly. not as a coward, against one of the mind's great creations..
I have always resisted any kind of bumper sticker on my cars, mostly because I didn't want to find a window broken out, or have a shouting match in a parking lot ------- well, those days are now over. I have a white WIJG sticker on the black car [ so it looks like it's really written on the car] and black one on the white car. Bring on the argument in the parking lot! He who keeps silent, consents.
I got lucky. Stopped a fellow here in Ft. Myers who had a "Who is John Galt" bumper sticker, and he gave one to me. It appears that the local libertarians had them especially made for a rally.
I saw a Who is John Galt license plate holder once and I read it out loud. The owner of the car said "read the book". He was quite pleased to find out that I already had.
You will. My Jeeps tire cover reads "Who is John Galt?" I get people all the time waving their Ayn Rand book to me, or giving me a shout and thumbs up!!! Its great to see a lot of people are aware and smart!!!
