Actually I was thinking that we could use the whole Ford -vs- Chevy thing
as
an example and get vinyl decals of Calvin peein' on a Honda "H" logo. 
And
then the Honda boys could get decals of Calvin peein' on  a VW symbol. 
And
then maybe others would pick up on it.  You know, Calvin peein' on a BMW
propeller for the Audi drivers, Calvin peein' on a Ferrari horse for the
Lamborghini drivers, etc................
I hate not getting enough sleep.
