Once, many moons ago. Not once since then, and I drive around the city a lot in the summer.

I'm sure I've seen them a few times. Can't remember anything they were advertising, other than Roadshow Advertising...

My wife was telling me about a giant aborted fetus on the side of one of these vehicles that she saw at about 7am one morning....she remembered that quite vividly, so maybe it works....

I work downtown and see their trucks drive around all the time. That's why I mentioned them.

The trucks are definately very eye-catching. I remember seeing Lexus, Fuel 90.3, Inhabit Interiors and Welist ads on their trucks.

OK, but what I mean is if you found a business to advertise with, what would that entail?

Here's what I did back when I had a business and needed advertising...

Paid bums (or anyone stupid/desperate enough) to get my business name and/or logo tattooed on their forehead.

I think it worked out all right.

If your flooring business got off the ground, wouldn't it become a ceiling business?
