Autowraps This company will pay you up to $400/month to wrap your car in advertising. Intriguing, but not exactly aesthetic...
Hey I wouldn't mind getting $400 just to have a big Coke can on my bonnet! Viva la capitalism!

Damn, Jeremy, I was just going to mention that! That's my favorite book. Too cool...
I'd feel like a real tool driving through the city with a big purple Yahoo car. I'd probably get hit by rocks. Ah, hell, if I saw a big purple Yahoo car driving through the city I'd probably throw rocks at it.

It may be hard to believe, but another company tried this last year, and I distinctly remember seeing some fine print that said even if you objected to the ad, you were under contract to keep the stickers on your car.
I could imagine signing up, and being forced to drive a the Stay-Free Maxi Pads car around. :)
This runaway advertising also reminds me of a book by Douglas Coupland, where a character talks about rampant advertising growing until someone says "What time is it?" and the right answer is "Pepsi."
