Bumper Sticker on a Corvette

My 20yr old son admires my Corvettes but believes they'll look "bad-***" if I put some assorted bumper stickers on them.
After staring at him at for 3 mins, :toe tap: he shrugged his shoulders and said "Whaaat..??"

Could you please explain to him why bumper stickers don't go on Corvettes?

Ask him why he thinks they would make the car bad-a$$.

The only cars Ive seen with assorted bumper stickers are usually VW/Prius/econoboxes with all sorts of hippie/far left/ecology messages on them.

Blasphemy! Seriously, they don't go together well. Now my Suburban has a bunch of stickers from all the racetracks I've driven on, but they're on the glass hatch and down the bottom of each rear side window. As they fade out or peel, I can remove the residue and apply a new one! Works for me...

The only bumper sticker I've ever put on any vehicle I've ever owned, and it was magnetic:

The window sticket came with the truck and never bothered to remove it.

Nope. No Prius. No rainforest sticker either, although it wouldn't hurt to save a rainforest or two here and there.
