Well Brandon, you semi-spoiled the surprise...
Honestly though, I thought it might be cool to have some MTRC stickers. What I didn't want was to get people's hopes up... especially depending on what price point we are looking at and what quantities we'd need to order (most places I've seen in a quick web search have a minimum of 500, which is WAY to many).
I wanted to get the details before posting the idea... but the cat is out of the bag now.

If you guys are interested in vinyl stickers instead of normal bumper stickers, my wife has a robo-crafter that can cut vinyl. I've not verified the durability/UV proof of the vinyl, but I can get 10 feet of 9inch wide vinyl for less than $10 shipped. I think you might have to get transfer paper also, but this may be included.
If there is even remotely any interest, I'll order a roll of vinyl to experiment with. I STINK at designing, but I can use any .GSD or .VSD files, and I think it's capable of a few other formats also. I also have utilities to trace .jpgs and .bmps if that's easier.
by my math, 9"x3" stickers, having to order a roll of vinyl and a roll of transfer paper would net ~40 stickers for $20. Somewhat expensive, but for cost, I'd gladly cut them when wanted, and 50 cents for a decent vinyl sticker isn't bad.

Did a little bit of digging, looks like I can get vinyl even cheaper, and more durable than the stuff that the machine maker sells. I've found 8" x 10 yard 6 year UV protected vinyl in 6 colors for less than $9 a roll. I even saw 4" vinyl on ebay, 150' for less than $20. I suspect I could find this stuff pretty cheaply, and I should be able to cut anything up to 9" wide.
Granted, I've not cut vinyl with this machine yet, and blade wear and tear might add to it a bit (but I suspect that I could cut 1000+ stickers with the original blade, including my wife using it regularly), but I think this could be a cheap way to get something made up. That's all assuming you guys like that style of sticker.
Let me know, and I'll order some supplies on payday, we can start working on a design.
