Ah, yes, that could be it. The car was very trendy looking and spotless and
appeared to be driven by a mom picking up her child from school-- she was
probably screened to weed out the possible circumstances Fredrik brought up.
And I see right away I wouldn't make the cut-- even if I bought one of those
cars (what a great excuse to buy yourself a new car!), I have to travel over
more than a half mile of gravel road to get to and from my house, so my car
generally has a layer of road dust on it. :-(
BTW, Mel, I think it the ads are more encompassing than what you are thinking
about-- they wrap up the entire car and there is no other advertising on it--
it is entirely taken up by the one company. And yeah, it probably sounds kind
of tacky, but really, the effect is great! At least from my American
perspective. :-)

| (...) Hi Maggie. It may have been someone who decorated their car for Autowraps.com. They pay you to put that stuff on your car, but they generally seek out newer, trendy cars like the PT or the Beetle. (URL) of interesting. :^) ~Grand Admiral (...) (23 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
