New slogans for car-rears!

Hi,

"Don't overtake me, and get into a highway-car-chase
Let's be nice drivers and save beloved Planet!"

"Beware! Car's paint is wet" (Especially, for new cars - to be saved from bruises and scratches)

"My rear-view mirror can offer a metaphysical view;
Beware: I can read your thoughts"

"This Driver had a bad day at office.
Please be nice to him"

"This driver just lost his job
Honk if you can offer him a break"

"This driver just lost his job
Honk if you too have"

"Caution: This car has a metaphysical antenna
Trash over-taking thoughts, if any"

"This driver is lost and is totally clueless
Follow this car at your peril"

"This driver is a bad loser, but a graceful winner"

Luv,

Vijay
