Your interior lights will also go out after a short while if you leave your doors open. I did not know this until a friend and I were doing some work on the car and he told me about it. He was right, after a short while the interior lights and the trunk light were out.

I am entering a show next week, so thanks thanks for starting this thread.
I was not aware, but some, if not all shows require that you have a fire extinguisher. I know it is for next week's show in Houston.

Anyone else??

I'm pretty sure we had to for ours. They're cheap so it's probably a good idea to have one anyway.

Several of the shows I am going to this summer require a fire extinguisher

You can do what you said, Kinkos will charge about 60 bucks to enlarge it to poster size. They like BMPs and JPEG for their ability to enlarge and not lose clarity. You can bring a disc, memory card... anything they can read, just call and ask.

My wifes cousin ownes a body shop and a sign shop. He came up with mine, put it on some aluminum he had laying around. He clear coated the whole thing also. If you want, PM me and I can give you his name and number. I just gave him a picture of my car, some information that I wanted on it and he did the rest. He also does license plates if you want a set.
