I have on TURD, "PASS NOW, it's a Volkswagen", "Honk if anything falls off"
and "Place hand HERE to push start"  as well as "Duct tape is like the
force, it has a light side, a dark side, and it binds the universe
together".  My favorite is the fact that it has advanced seem rot and tons
of sponsor stickers such as Fram, Bars-Leak, Empi, Bosch, Yeasu, Hemmings,
as well as both magazines..  I've always wanted a sticker machine.  Might
even help hold the panels on.
