  • A DIY version of the car one would be fun. Especially if it was more like those LED scrollers. I could sit there and scroll and flirt with the hot women that are driving behind me.

  • who in their right mind would pay $60 for a guitar pick? not to mention that that thing looks huge! i don't think it'll replace my jim dunlop medium nylon.

    might be fun to play guitar hero with, though. (if you haven't, try playing that game with a pick. makes fast stuff easier to play.)

  • Yeah. 'Cuz chicks dig scrolling LED signs (lol).

  • Chicks may not dig scrolling signs, but when you change the message for them, it would at least make them smile.

    Maybe A DIY version would be an update to this make project:

  • I believe Johnny 5 made use of this technique for charming women in Short Circuit 2.

  • I believe Johnny 5 made use of this technique for charming women in 1988's Short Circuit 2.

  • Yeah. I'm sure hot girls are thrilled of the idea of yet one more place geeky guys will be trying to hit on them.

  • another negative point of mesging hot female drivers is you might make another hot girl full of herself. I prefer the humble, hot girls, thank you very much.
