I constantly end up with automotive related stickers. I literally have hundreds of stickers like these.

I'm basically like a 4 year old and love to stick them to stuff in the garage. Tool box is the main target.

Superhawk996...

Nope you're not the only one...we all do it in the personal shop.

Now you've gone and done it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I love it!

Heck it gives you a glimpse of your history going down memory lane.

Adds color to otherwise dull area..

I can’t go to a swap meet without ever buying a sticker!

Ha Ha. I used to do the same with magnetics on my Miata when doing Autocross or track days.

Maybe redeploy them for the 914

Or maybe just to add a little misinformation to add to the questions people ask about 914's.

We all knew the toss them option was rhetorical and that I was already biased to decorate like a 4 year old!

What kind of hoarder sells his stuff?

First it would be stickers and then it would end up with selling all my toy motorcycles and ultimately the 914. No way!

Interesting fact though. Today I gave away my 1997 CBR race bike to a 20's ish co-worker that loves bikes and might actually get it back into running shape. I last ran it on the track in about 2008! Had many good days and some that were not so great racing that bike! Memories. Stickers are kind of the same - they bring back memories of times and places. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I thought it would be hard to let the bike go. Turns out it really felt good to let it go knowing that someone else might revive it and enjoy it for track days.

Well done! I am starting to give stuff away. But the feeling that it might help someone enjoy the thing who otherwise couldn’t afford it is an important component. Also, selling is harder for me to contemplate, because giving something away doesn’t make me feel like i worked for ten percent of minimum wage...from 1976.

You know the ones to put on your car or NOT. The rest is garage glitter. Go.

Tool boxes get the decals, the inside of a food cabinet gets the stickers from the wife and I volunteering at school.

Pics later.
