Have you seen the Noobie van?
My kids call the car I drive the Noobie van. They call it this because it's a minivan with Noobie vinyl decals on the back side windows.
The are yoo a noobie? question spelled out on my minivan has always drawn lots of attention in parking lots, drive-thrus and even while tailgating at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Complete strangers have no problem approaching me to ask me what a noobie is. And I'm more than happy to explain it to them. *wink*
A few days ago, I had to take the Noobie van back to my good friend Steve Scalph at Sign Here Ltd. to get the web site address replaced. It still had the old www.noobieinc.com address which is now just www.noobie.com.
While I was there, I asked Steve what I could do to jazz up the rear window a bit. We talked it over for a few minutes and decided the best approach would be to just repeat the new web site address in big letters across the top of the rear window.
Here's some shots of the noo Noobie van. You can click on a thumbnail to view a larger version of the photo. What do you think?

Thanks Patric for the plug. I loved your story about the expressions on the woman’s face behind you at a traffic light as if she were trying to figure out was a “Noobie” was.
A vehicle graphic like this will get 35,000 impressions in the Indianapolis area DAILY. That is a lot of looks and a lot of people wondering “What is a noobie?”
