The humorous part of this wonderful thread is that the salt life and other stickers are probably more widely seen in non-coastal areas of the state. The typical âCharleston Steveâ, as we call them, grew up in a city away from the coast. They went to USC or Clemson and realized that a $65,000 truck was the way to go, so daddy bought it for them along with $1,500 in tires/lift/tint/and other silly modifications that are never used. Then a friend took them to a farm one time to shoot guns and spin the tires in wet grass, so they got dad to buy them some $500 browning and ducks unlimited clothes that came with stickers that of course went on the big truck. Once they found the cute wealthy girlfriend at college, her uncle or some other distant family member or friend takes them offshore fishing one time. Upon return to college in the big truck, which is now covered with marlin and other assorted offshore fishing stickers, they tell dad to get them a yeti for all of their outdoor excursions. The yeti sticker gets put up next to the South Carolina State Flag sticker and the cooler goes in the back of the truck next to the unused, diamond-plated dog crate.
Iâm not angry or frustrated, but simply find this social concept very amusing. The first sticker I created was for Charleston Steve Outfitters (based on my buddyâs term âCharleston Steveâ - a friend started a page along time ago that has not been updated in quite a while, but here is a link to the sticker pic - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=160061974032025&set=a.144679738903582.19701.100000846696087&type=1&theater . You may see some still floating around out there. Recently I created a new one that you may see around town. It is about 3 feet wide and a foot tall in a font similar to salt life, but says âSticker Lifeâ. I think its great someone started a thread : âwhats with all the stickersâ

I am glad you had time to type all that. That is exactly how it is. i sayâŚAMEN!
We went from stickers to High end rods and reels. I have invested in quality rods and reels but have no stickers on anything that says so. I bought a Yeti cooler off a Mt P kid needed money. Probably stole it out of someones boat. Yeti only works if you keep it closed and is heavy as lead. Use an old marine grade Igloo super cold had for years. Hinges made out of leather kept closed with a piece of rubber rope and cleat mounted on outside works great and no one will steal it out of my 13 year old truck.
Amen to that. It doesnât matter to me if you want stickers, raccoon tails, beads, tattoos, body piercings, red reflectors, those spinning wheel hub thingys, bass speakers that vibrate the street and rattle the metal in your car, or a plastic Jesus on your dashboard. Have at it. I wonât lose a moments sleep.
There was a comedian a couple years back on TV, I donât remember who it was, who said if you looked in a manâs closet you would know where he graduated college, all of his favorite sports, everywhere he went on vacation in the last 10 years, his favorite local bars, what his favorite fishing tackle, firearms, tractors and vehicles are, and his wannabe stuff Pretty accurate Iâd say. Also say if you donât like it Call 1-800- Eat S@%t:smiley:

I make fun of people with stickers all over the place too⌠but I make more fun of people who correct other peopleâs spelin and gramer on a fishing website, as if theyâve done something special.

I had to laugh the other day. I went into Haddrells Mt. P. Was there for about 20 min getting my stuff. In that 20 min I overheard the following: âDo you have a Salt Life sticker?â and âWhere are the Yeti hats?â I was chuckling to myself thinking of this thread
Haddrells loves that ****! All the way to the bank
I could care less what kind of stickers someone puts on their car, boat, cooler, etc. What logo they have on their hat, shirt, shortsâŚThat is of course, unless I donât like said stickers/logo. Then it bothers me.
For the record, I have my college stickers on my car.
You know, the bigger the Yeti sticker, the bigger the cooler. I have a couple Yeti stickers in my glovebox, $50 for the small ones and $350 for the big yeti sticker.
All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth brother, Iâm not sure about you!
I fall into the I donât care what people put on the vehicles as long as appropriate for the general public (kids) to look at. Iâve put on a free sticker or two of something I like/support and currently have nothing and prefer the âcleanâ look right now. The recent sticker fad that I find very odd is the stick figure families. However, even that has produced humor on the road. I saw a pickup truck on 26 that had the typical stick figure family with dog except mom had been removed and the spot left empty. Sad but kind of funny that he did that (assuming it was a divorce). This one really takes the cake. Nice job, West VirginiaâŚ
