Whelp....

One certain way to identify the type of person the OP is describing, is if they have one of those black market stickers on their vehicle that shows "Calvin" peeing on something. Usually it's found on a particular American made vehicle and the object being peed on is the logo of another (hated rival) auto manufacturer.

Seriously? That's the most important idea you're carrying around in your noggin, that you think is so important that it needs to be shared with everyone else on the road?
Indeed, for the first time I saw a window sticker that simply said Shag You.

OP never did share what his bumper stickers say
 
The best bumper sticker I ever saw was a "HOT WHEELS" logo just like the toy cars, on a nicely painted and polished car looking like one of the dream toy cars.
The worst I ever saw was "My other car is also a Rolls Royce" - on a real Rolls, 5th Ave, NYC.
 
I was also bullied terribly as a kid. I was tall, thin, geeky, and socially awkward (shy / introvert). I was bigger than the bullies, but not aggressive, and they never came at me 1:1, always like 5:1 or so. One of them made the mistake of bullying me 1:1 exactly once. Now, I tend to remain calm and peaceful, mind my own business, but I do have quite a temper when it eventually boils over. That day, it did. He punched me in the gut as usual, so I picked him up way over my head and threw him down head first on a big rock. He left me alone after that. Didn't learn his lesson though - he went off to some southern football college on a scholarship (he was the HS quarterback), apparently mouthed off inappropriately, and got himself beaten up and put into the hospital by his own offensive linemen. Never finished school, came back home and became a used car salesman (while I went on to much bigger and better things).

Time wounds all heels. :)

Back in the '80s, I toyed with the idea of making and marketing a bumper sticker that read, "My other vehicle is a Learjet" for people who owned super-expensive cars.

It was a time of conspicuous consumption and excess, and ridiculous bumper stickers. I figured you might as well go big!:thumbsup::laugh:

EDIT: Apparently there's something similar on a license plate frame:

How about this one?

I have to admit, if/when I get my Cybertruck, the idea of a "My other vehicle is also a Tesla" has some appeal to me. Except I wouldn't want to ruin the looks of either vehicle with one.
