Music lyrics:

BAD RELIGION

"Change Of Ideas"

"Well the sheaves have all been brought, but the fields have washed away,
And the palaces now stand where the coffins all were laid,
And the times we see ahead, we must glaze with rozy hues,
For what don't wish to admit what it is we have to lose.
Millenia in coming, the modern age is here.
It sanctifies the future, yet renders us with fear.
So many theories, so many prophecies,
What we do need is a change of ideas.
When we are scared we can hide in our reveries but
What we need is a change of ideas.
Change of ideas, change of ideas,
What we need now is a change of ideas."

Where did you buy the sign? How much did it cost?

I knew someone would ask that. I bought mine through Amazon.com HERE (http://www.amazon.com/Roadmaster-Scrolling-Digital-Message-System/dp/B000NDESXE/ref=sr_1_4/002-5995376-1612801?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1191291530&sr=8-4) after researching eBay and dozens of others and almost forking out hundreds of dollars for just a few more benefits. $40 and free shipping, no prob'.

Whatever outlet is using Amazon for their product was awesome for me. Quick (very quick) free shipping and an acceptable price of $40. It takes about 15minutes to learn from the manual and set up the scroll, then it's smooth-sailing.

I've had it on for just this evening and even considering my other stickers plastered all over, I've seen more people with note-pads jotting down info' from my back window during a 1/2 hour errand.

I think it really catches attention. Absolutely no vehicles out here have it. Ron Paul is the only one I know of :)

I notice that Amazon will allow you to put up your own sample pictures of the product. Why don't you but up a picture of yours with Ron Paul on it?:)

Either that, or frame-by-frame, right? *heheh*

It was actually raining for the first time in half a year while capturing (here in the high-desert), but I really, really wanted to get the video out to folks, so I went with the garbage bag.

I'll add some sound to make it less-boring to newbies. What do you think is best? Emo' heart-strings, pop/rap, classical, hard core, country, or musaaaak?

Thanks for the link RP08.

I wonder if there are any traffic laws to worry about.

Neat. The limo company we use has them on the back of every car, but I've never seen any normal cars with them around here.

In for one.

Saw another one on the same amazon page you linked. This one works as your license plate cover:

http://www.amazon.com/Roadmaster-Scrolling-Digital-License-Plate/dp/B000MTSSIK/ref=pd_sbs_auto_1/104-9326612-3459111?ie=UTF8&qid=1191291530&sr=8-4

I think I'm going to order this, just need to figure out how I get power to it.

Sorry, doing ten things at once, should have included

www.streettags.com (http://www.streettags.com)

If I remember correctly the discount code is RP4Pres . It is in the archives, posted month or two ago. I'll look later if no-one can find it.

I have the Lic. plate and the bigger one, work great the only drag is programming with alpha-numeric. The remote is cool though for changing your (16) msg on the fly

Done! Not sure when it will be available for viewing. It's a blurry capture from the YouTube vid so I'll get a clear snap-shot up later. Great suggestion!

It's up! Now the image is displayed as one of the product images with Ron Paul all over it :)

I'll definitely get a clearer pic uploaded ASAP

Ordered mine today! I drive an average of 300 miles per week and 50% of that is at night...this sign will be a nice addition to my rolling signage.
