Your Evo: Mobile advertisement = gas money

Would anybody be willing to post ads all over their Evo for free gas money (up to $3600 per year, according to the video)? I can't say that I would. It's tempting, though.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060724/..._ge/gas_prices. Click on the video on the bottom of the page (under Business News) entitled "Free gas for ad space on cars".

There was a time when Kool cigarettes advertised using similar means. I vividly recall seeing a VW Bug in white and green brand wrapper cruising around town. As for myself - no way!

There are 2 red bull cars around here bother with the big red bull can on the back of them. One is that suzuk x90 thing and one is a mini coooper convertible. On the mini the convertible top is off and the back seats are not there they have a fiberglass cover over them like a truck cover and the a back wall is made out of fiberglass. It is like a two seater mini cooper like el camino with a big can of red bull. I will have to take a pic if i see it again. Not to my car but if they would pay for the car, gas and what not I would buy another to do it, actually never mind I don't need the money and it sounds like too much hassle. They require you to drive a certain amount I would think and in certain areas to get there message out.
