They used to make little round stickers of wood screws to place over the hearts on other peoples bumper stickers.

Yes, I remember the little screws. It changed "I love my grandkids" into "I screw my grandkids". " I love labradores" turned into "I screw labradores".
The "love" part of the bumper stickers was generally a little heart.

Yes, they did work best on the pet themed stickers.

That would be a good topic, "What's your favorite bumper sticker slogan"

My wife's ex-husband drove around in an old pick-up with a bumper sticker that said, "Only Love is Better Than Schlitz".

Among my favorites:

"Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?"

That is now my favorite of all time!

I don't really have a favorite but this thread put me in mind of how these things start, become popular to the point of nausea, fragment into others and finally evolve into the exact opposite of how they started.

Examples:

"Baby on Board" led to all sorts of sickeningly sweet knokoffs. finally evolving to "Mother-in-Law in trunk"

"My kid is an honor student at XYZ school" led very quickly to "My kid beat up your honor stdent".

I like how "Visualize World Peace" morphed into "Visualize Using Your Turn Signals".

The only one I've put on my vehicle is one i had to have made, it reads "Alaskans for Global Warming".

I somehow didn't realize you *could* have one made specially. I sometimes get so tired of all the religious ones that I have always wanted to find one reading "The Rapture Was Yesterday"

The biggest head-scratcher I ever saw was on a rustbucket station wagon crammed with dirty children and an equally squalid and greasy couple in front. I remember that the man was a most contentious driver, road rage all over the place. The bumper sticker read, "Thank You for Not Breeding".

You're welcome, I suppose.
