Prepare for next year with this:
Grill N' Chill
Quite possibly the most beautiful item I have ever seen.
Grill lovers is a GREAT catalog, by the way (and no I"m not advertising.)

Wow, adding that to the back of my car would bump its value up to 2,200 dollars.

I've been looking at and drooling over those things for years. They're just really, really expensive.

All you need is about 20 AZZers to pitch in about $100 and you guarantee to bring it to every game.

I saw it, and wanted to cry.
Of course we had the AZZ tailgate bus thread awhile ago, but if you are looking to something you can do with your current car, with no harm done to it consider something like this:
http://www.azureimaging.com/vehiclewraps.php# Get your car done for the season, take it off later. Plus for those with.....equity deficient vehicles, it works no matter how bad the paint job is.

Nathan,
I would love to have that picture of Kevin on the bicycle in his cap and gown and arms stretched out on the rear window of the Admissions van.

From what they emailed me, the wraps can be removed at any time, with no damage to the body or paint.
They estimated the cost at $8 to $16 per square foot, depending on if you get the photographic designs, or solid colors. The lifespan is about three years. The average costs run between $1,500 and $2,500 for the photographic designs. The full color jobs, give or take the design could be done for as little as $500. That said, over three years, and however many miles the van is driven, you have a lot of advertising value there.
Heck I bet you could get alumni to do it for "Gift-in-kind" credit. Maybe even local companies with fleets of vans.

Although having it on the front of the van would be funnier.

Remember it's a woman driver for the van and she does won't drive on the highway

Wow - can you say "how to write off your car as advertising?"
I want someone to do a VW Beetle as a BG Football Helmet.

More than that, sometime around the dot.com boom, there was a company called Autowraps which would actually pay you $400 a month to drive a car around with whomever bought the ad space. You'd truck around with a GPS reciever in the dash so they could confirm you drove around as much as you said.
I'm sure somebody is still out there doing it, but I haven't heard of any recently.
