I'm at 83k, and I bought it Feb 04 with under 10k.

I washed my car at 10-11pm last night.. the weather forecast said it was going to be AWESOME today and tomorrow. It started raining on my way to campus, and was a harsh downpour by the time I got there. It was still pouring rain on my way to work after class, but now at least the sun has come out. My car is much dirtier than it was before I washed it last night now >_< what a waste of time.

Those guys can't predict the weather 4 hours in advance. They suck.

hehe. I bet the "Show your signature" checkbox isn't checked by default. Check your options in your User CP.

As for the weather forecasters.. yeaah. It was literally 7:30am when I checked the weather, and there was no more than a 10% chance of precipitation at any hour of the day according to accuweather.com. At 7:45am it was pouring hardcore rain (the hardest rain I've experienced since last year), and on and off there have been harsh showers all morning/afternoon.

what idiots

Those magnets look nice. I have a couple questions:
You make 'em, right?
\Can you make me a pair?
How much shipped for a set of 2 numbers about the size of yours? (56)
How strong is the magnet and/or how well do they hold at speed(100mph+)? A guy at my last trackday lost his numbers on the track....that would suck.

It sure would be nice to not have to use the blue painter's tape every time!

hmm.. i have to do some research on how well they hold up to speed, i know a guy has a pair on his truck and he regularly runs up and down the interstate @ 85+...

price, basically $20/sign + shipping for basic color vinyl.

What background color were you wanting?
I can get the magnets in white(glossy or matte), green, red, orange, yellow, blue and black, they measure 24" x 12"
I can get the basic vinyl in 70+ colors, just le me know!

oh, and here is a closeup...



and, just in case u was wondering, it IS a magnetic sheet w/ vinyl on top, havent quite figured out how to cut the magnets correctly into shapes. (and look good)

^ and that color is fluorescent yellow (its a little higher priced!, adds about $6.5/sign)

Thanks for the help.
Sign = individual charachter, i.e. each number, right? So it would be 40 bucks for my 2 digit number.
Those sure look nice.
