What does it mean???

Okay so my Mom and I were up town one day, driving down Main Street when we saw this Chevy truck parked on the side of the street, it had to be a 2001 or something. It was all tricked out with mud tires, lift kit and an awesome glossy black paint job but as we passed it we saw it had a sticker on the back window that said "Bad A** Bowtie"
I just want to know if anyone knows what the heck it means and why someone would put that on they're truck. The only thing my Mom and I can think of is that he put that on their because the truck is black like bowtie's but otherwise we're stumped.
Just wondering if anyone has a clue about it or seen a sticker like that on other cars before...lol...Thanks!

Rumor has it, that W.C. Durant designed Chevrolet Bowtie around a newspaper ad? It was an advertisement for Southern Compressed Coal Co. product "Coalettes". (small coal)

The suffix ‘---let’ or '--lette' in the dictionary means little or small.

Wow thought everyone knew about the bow tie thing?

I,ve always heard that the emblem was copied off a wallpaper print that the Chevrolet Bros ran across while visiting in France.

the chevrolet family came from switzerland, moved to france, then canada, ending here in the usa... just saw that on a car show this weekend> possibly the barret jackson coverage where they were auctioning off the presidential limo with jay leno...
