We’d always heard rumors that there were companies that would pay you to wrap your car in their ads… but we thought it was a bunch of hooey. That’s right. Hooey. It’s not. There really are guys like Brian Morris of Pheonix, AZ who will pay you to wrap a big vinyl ad around your SUV.

What’s more, he’d appreciate it if you drove really slowly in traffic so that the people behind you can sit and think about how broken their pool is, and how they’d love it if Brian would come over and make it into a serious Playboy Mansion-type waterfall affair. For a price.

The world is a twisted, twisted place.
