Auf Wiedersehen is wayyy toooo longgg to fit.

Sorry I have to revisit this thread now that the weather is warmer I want to stick something on it.

Mach Schnell

I put "Mach Schnell" on my spoiler. I know the dictionary translation is "Make Quick". But, having lived in Germany for ten years I can assure you that to a German it is the equivalent of the American "Hurry Up!"
