    Actually, I think the people that drive these tend to be too-far right to even know what a tankie is. The people calling you tankie probably drive, like, Priuses.

      The people driving these cars are more likely to call you an f-slur.

      Work as a mechanic and these guys are always the type to have right-wing bumper stickers and make their politics known to everyone.

        The one thing that I learned as a meth addict several years ago was that the likelihood of there being a gun in the vehicle and the vehicle being unlocked goes up rapidly and exponentially with every right wing sticker.

        Those stickers literally make them targets for car prowlers.

          On the other hand, it's good to know where to get what we in the business call "an offensive handgun" if you need one in a hurry.
