    Mobile marketing/advertisement tool...

    Is Anyone with a business--- interested in purchasing a new or used (under $20k) stylish, Subaru Impreza WRX, or Subaru Legacy 2.5GT, (05' or newer)...for me? and with this car...I will become your moving advertisement/marketing tool with one of those very stylish full body ads for the vehicle--the ones that wrap around the whole car. I will leave it on the car for as long as this car runs etc. We could even arrange for a lease...or something of that nature. I am open to ideas.

    No joke... I see it all of the time...and it often gets me looking and thinking when I see one of these cars. I drive through much of the heart of the twin cities, every day, and I would gain a lot of attention. I just saw one in fact, the other day, for someone who does mobile personal training. I saw him at the gas station, and it has still stuck in my head to the point where I am interested in learning more.

    Think it over... it's a great idea!

    You wouldn't have to pay me anything else, and I wouldn't even be working for you... it would be a good tool for you to get the word out on your company.

    Contact me if interested!

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    I'll jump right on that.



    Wait. I already have thousands of cars rolling through the cities with my companies name all over them, and I didn't have to pay for them. In fact, they paid us. I think our idea works better :laugh:

    Could someone please buy me the car I want so I can drive it around?

    I'd like a new Ferrari 599GTB or a MB SLR, that would really get your company logo recognized. :)

    Contact me if interested and STUPID.

    I read about someone telling the dealer to take more money off the car and they would leave the badge / dealer on, but if they wouldn't then they wanted the badge removed...

    I told the deal exactly that when my wife bought her Blazer. The sales guy wasn't happy about it, but knew it wasn't worth losing a sale over.

    yeah, for that being a huge pet peeve of mine, where that was my gift to my mother, replacing her license plate cover and stuff like that, i think its funny that i like having my subaru logo on the back compared to so many that remove it.

    I kept my morries rear plate cover since I figure they do a lot for the club.

    however its not staying there forever. I'll only advertise for a limited time.

    The plate cover is the most unobtrusive. I really hate those damn stickers on the trunk.

    Scott Putnam didn't even try to stick one on my car when I bought it from him. Thank goodness.

    oh, what about jeeps, they are the worst! they put the full 3d decal on, the 2d tatoo type on too, and then they put the spare tire cover with their whole logo on it to see from a mile away.
