Best one I saw once, and unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me was, "IWanna". Mind you the license plate sits just above the back bumper with the letters HUMMER imprinted into the bumper.

What "moves me" to work, the grocery store and wherever else I go is my Pashley Sovereign Roadster bicycle. I find this sort of elitist prejudice very annoying. The corporate fat cats of The New York Times may be so ultra-rich and ultra-irresponsible that they "move" everywhere by car. But ordinary people are not.
