Okay, a li’l background information: I’m taking a little business trip that will let me save up some cash. With this cash, I am going to buy a new truck. It’ll be the coolest truck since sliced bread. . . Now with this truck, I have enough window stickers from college and a vanity plate that I have in mind. But, I’ve seen a lot of those white window decals – you’ve seen 'em, the Calvin ones get mentioned a lot on the boards – but I’ve never seen 'em around in stores. What if I want a custom one? Are there companies on the web that make 'em to what you want? I’ve got a few in mind. Just wanna find out where to get them first. . . Tripler I need a new truck. ---

I see them in t-shirt shops a lot. If you want custom stuff done, try a sign shop. My friend Dan just got me a custom birthday gift that actually turned out pretty cool. He heard me complaining that my Mom kept using my car wash bucket for pool chemicals, so he went to Wal-Mart and bought a bucket for $3. Then, he took a copy of the crossed-flags Corvette logo to a sign shop, where they made two white stickers of the logo. Dan applied them to the bucket and now I have a customized car wash bucket that Mom won’t even think about putting algae shock in. Those dudes can make stickers out of pretty much anything you might want. ---

I saw some once at a super cheezy fly-by-night flea market thing they had at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston. They called it the $ale of the $entury. They sold everything there - appliances, jewelry, shoes, leather jackets, you name it. All new stuff, not used. There was a booth selling all kinds of auto window decals, including Calvin peeing on a Ford logo AND Calvin peeing on a Chevy logo. Anything with Calvin and Hobbes is unlicensed, though, so I don’t think you’re going to find them in your local Napa auto parts store. Look for ads for those types of shows - where people are selling lots of new, cheap goods. You also might be able to find booths selling things like that at auto shows and what not. OOPS! Did I just admit I went to the $ale of the $entury? :o ---

I’m specifically looking for some hockey teams stuff. Y’all think a sign place would make 'em for me? Tripler I’m also thinking about getting DOT placards: “Radiation”
