Hey,

Whenever I see an Infiniti, I put a piece of paper on their windshield and tell them about NICO. The other day I put a piece of paper on a J30 at my school. It was beautiful.

I was just wondering if it would make you mad if some one did that to your car.

Take care.

Later...

no, that wouldn't piss me off. I would be flattered cuz someone thinks my infiniti is nice and wants me to join the forum. I guess it's kinda like someone asking you to be in their club or something like that.

No, that wouldn't piss me off! I do get po'd when someone puts party flyes, political literature, & etc on my windshield.

Omar, that's cool as hell - Keep it up.

I tagged 3 Infiniti's (an older G20, a J30t with 18's, an early Q in rough shape) and a sweet 97 240sx last night at the grocery store.

We have a couple Infinitis where I work. Maybe they need to be tagged. There is a particular J30 that NEEDS a lot of TLC. The car is totally ragged-out.

I don't think the guy that drives it would come visit the forum since he obviously doesn't care about the car. I looked inside the car the other day and couldn't see the carpet from all the trash. It was a sad scene.

It would be agreat way to say "Take better care of your car, and here is a forum that can help you!"

I will start tagging Infiniti's myself. If I tagged everyone I saw, it would take me 2 to 3 hours a day, so I will be selective to Q's only.

I will make me some small business cards with the NICO logo.

This is exactly why the old NICO 1" x 3" stickers were so good! Subtle, professionally done, and discreet. I posted an image in General chat sometime back for those who haven't seen them. Got mine from AZhitman in Phoenix last year, but alas, they are gone.

AZhitman and Jeff, those are both great. Now if they were printed on something waterproof like the first stickers I would be set.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t

Greg, I like your text better, I will add it to mine. By the way, Happy belated brithday!

Brian, I agree. I think Staples or someone print them on business cards, and they are relatively waterproof, for a short period of time, anyway. Waterproof cards would be more expensive.

I would be willing to pitch-in for 50 cards, if anyone has connections for relatively inexpensive cards.

Otherwise, I can print my little design on my printer, and only put them out on sunny days.

I just designed a really cool NICO card on vistaprint (in color) on the glossy card stock (semi-waterproof?). I can get 500 cards made and shipped to me for approx $45, if anyone would like to kick in part of the $$$ I'll go for it and send them out...

You can go to vistaprint.com and look at the design I made by logging in as me ([email protected], password 'hitman').

Tell me what you think.

I could not find the card on that site. I will try again, later. If it is what you posted earlier, it would be fine for me. I'll send you $10 for 100 of them, to help defray the cost. I can PayPal you the money.

vista print runs a free 250 card offer about every two weeks, just skip the logo's and multicolors and you can get them for shipping costs only.

BTW: There glossy cards look great.

Well, to do a NICO card, we really need to have the logo.

And to do the logo properly, it needs to be in color.

I wish my car would have been tagged when i got it. I bought a G 35 in early February and didn't find out about NICO until May, when I joined up. I just found it while searching on the internet. I think tagging is a great idea. I am sure that there are many people like me just haven't found out about it yet. Keep up the tagging.

My cards came in the mail yesterday and it just so happened I was driving down the road and saw a 90-93 Q(forest green, very nice color), so i took a quick short cut because i saw them pull in somewhere and showed up and hunted the Q in the parking lot. found it, saw it had Cali plates, and tagged it. so hopefully i'll see him on here soon:)
