I am not sure any are still around but at one time there were companies that would professionally paint your new car (I think it had to be certain ones, like a VW) with advertising and pay you enough to cover most if not all of your car payment. You had to keep the car clean and drive/park it in visible places. Minimum monthly miles driven requirements. I suspect there were other restrictions. For example I suspect they wouldn't let you stop at an adult book store or strip bar. Some of the advertisers were cigarette companies as I remember. Such tobacco ads have probably been outlawed. Many city buses are plastered with ads. Maybe they could put Dunkin Donut ads on police cruisers. The Army could advertise on Hummers. Merrill Lynch could advertise on BMW's. Auto repair shops on VW's. Viagra or AARP on Cadillacs.

Quote, originally posted by drunkenvibe »car payment!! insurance!! OMFG!!!!! eh, just get a crap job until you can get something real.it's a consideration. i have a job offer but it's quite a bit less. and it wouldn't be a temporary one so if i did go there, it would need to be for awhile. they don't actually have a position open per say, but would if i was interested. only prob, is they could only pay me $4 LESS/hr. so i am looking to see what is available right now. if it looks like everything will be in that ball park figure, then i'd rather go there because i know the guy.

We'd want a genvibe banner as a way to get to meet more vibe owners, he'd want his banner as a way to get paying forum members and ad clickers.
