Ok, let's start the discussion. What kind of bumper stickers or car decorations really piss you off when you're stuck in traffic?
Some on my hot button list:
1. "Christians aren't Perfect, just Forgiven"
2. The 'Truth' Fish Eating the Darwin Fish
3. "Charleton Heston is my President"
4. "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter"
5. "In Case of Rapture this Car will be Unmanned"
6. "This Car Protected by Guardian Angels"
7. "Father God created Mother Earth'
8. Bush/Cheney 2000
Any other ones out there that drive you absolutely nuts?

I agree with all of the above, and I'd add the following:
- "Magick Happens"
- Anything with a rebel flag
- "How's my driving? Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT"
- "If you can read this..." et. al.
- Gore/Lieberman 2000
- Nader/LaDuke 2000 [Suckers...]
- "Hate is NOT a Family Value"
- Anything talking about farts
- "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein [because the people who display this have totally missed the point, they are usually anti-science]
And my all time most hated bumpersticker...
- Mommy, what were trees like? [The epitome of hyperbole, this almost makes me physically ill...]
Close second is the Truth fish eating Darwin fish.

Interesting choices so far!
I also have no bumper stickers or decals on my car. I used to have a Darwin fish, but decided to play it low-key when I bought my current car a couple of years ago. I never had a negative comment about the Darwin fish by the way; in fact, several times at work or elsewhere I was asked about where I purchased it.
Another thing that drives me nuts are the semi-tractor trailers driven for a company called Covenant Transport. I know you've seen these long-distance tranports on the Interstates; they have a scroll-like logo and usually some anti-abortion or fundamentalist dogma painted on the backs of the trailers. Heavy roll of the eyes...

An old one that, thank Betty Boop, went the way-side was.....
"Honk if you love Jesus"
If you ever saw someone cringing in traffic, that was me...stuck behind that bumpersticker! Some years later I saw one that said.....
"Honk if you esckew Jesus"
I felt I was born again!!! 
Use to see a redneck one here in Texas of the peace sign on one side, and on the other was written,..."The footprint of the American Chicken"
(Vietnam War era)
Hate seeing those truck mudflaps with the chrome girlys. Or confederate flags anywhere.
Funny one...."This IS my other car" |

ah, this one I saw, I believe inspired by surfing/skateboarding:
"No Fear - Know Jesus"
*sheesh*
"Dear God. We paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."

The one on my car (before I bought the thing) is funny and appropriate to me: Marines the Worlds 911 Force.
Least favorite:
No Jesus, No Peace
Know Jesus, Know Peace
If you're living like there is no Jesus - you'd better be right
He's YOUR god, they're YOUR rules, YOU burn in hell! |

So many to choose from
"Jesus died saying 'I love you this much'"
(oh? is that why his arms were spread wide on the cross? -bz)
"What Would Jesus Do"

Some bumper stickers are cute the first time I see them, but after a while, it seems 3/4 of the cars in town are sporting it. Example: "Horn broken, watch for finger". If I'd seen it once, I'd think it a classic. As it is, I could probably walk down main street and count 20 of them.
Clever quips don't bother me as much as the political/hot button ones do. I always want to stop these people and ask who they think they are, to tell me what I should think. Additionally, why are they under the quite mistaken impression anyone else gives a hoot what THEY think.

I have a completely anti-social fantasy about that sub-baboonishly stupid "Shit Happens" sticker that is so popular among youthful drug-culture wannabes. I would walk up to the offending vehicle in a parking lot and knock the rear window out with a tire tool. Then I would wait, leaning against the car, tire tool in hand. As the slack-jawed owner approached, I would shrug innocently and say, "Hey, shit happens."

One I posted a bit ago, elsewhere, was one bumpersticker for the lover of lost causes.......
"Stop Continental Drift"
Another grape play on words was.....
"Visualize Whirled Peas" |

Those (partially due to their scarcity) had me rolling with laughter.
Another one that I like, but am not sure of the origional intent, says: "Earth First," which made me groan in memory of the eco-terrorists of the late '80s/early '90s, until I saw the fine print underneath: "We'll mine other planets later"

How about:
"Repeal godless 2nd law of Thermodynamics"
Look at this to find out about efforts to get rid of it.
NOTE: LOL at it.
