If you’ve got a car, you can pocket an extra $400 per month. How? Make your car a rolling advertisement.

The idea is a love/hate one and has polarized everyone I’ve mentioned it to. Some think it’d be a small price to pay for money that could cover a car payment. Others aren’t so sure. I’m going to side with them, particularly after looking at the stipulations of being in the program. You’re going to monitor my car location at all times? I must wash it twice a month – even when it’s 30 below? I can only park in certain locations? I must sign a waiver stating that it might damage my paint job?! I’ll pass.

I already thought the buses and electric trains that were totally "wrapped" in advertisements were ugly. I don’t see why cars wouldn’t be any different. -pm
