Rear window lcd display.

I would rather having something you would "request on the fly" then anything automatic.

It would also be better with a big led display for lecture at a distance.

I would myself like to say things to the guy behind me, it would be great, but I am afraid of interpretation and its consequences - let's read: road rage amplification from dumb people.

A buddy had one of those large LED displays (one line scrolling like 8 leds tall like you see in businesses) it was mounted in the back of his old blazer with 10 pre-stored messages "nice turn signal there"; "Get off my *** already!" ... the RF remote sat in the cup holder. Pick it up and punch 1, display (printout on the back of remote told what each preset message said) Again a kind of stupid idea from some college guys due to the fact he was given the display. Today there is not a chance I would do that. People get too ticked off. All they do is call the cops on the cell phone and say "this guy in front of me is drunk - he is all over the road" you spend the next 30 minutes passing the DUI test and explaining to the police the person was just trying to get back at you for calling them a name via your electronic display.

Heck some dude just shot and killed someone last week over a door ding at a local video rental parking lot. Too many people have guns and too many are stupid about that stuff and are too eager to get even.

Oh I'm sure some police would ticket your butt for it. Around here the police would just say "WOW, thats cool how much for one?" It would probably not be a good idea to make a scrolling message one the screen. The key pad was more for people to show off when in parking lots and places cops arn't so picky about. Kind of like car strobes but better.

Edit: I can see why my friend moved away from colorado

i know im bringing up a dead post but i have also wondered about this text lcd bar. has anyone made one yet, and if so what size is it?

**Question** · 04-05-2005, 12:10 AM

How bout one that says "I have a computer in here, please steal it" or just "steal this device"? A little too lengthy, I suppose..

If you use a Graphic VFD or LCD you could indeed display some pr0n on there. Of corse with it being a public medium it would violate several FCC regulations (if you live in the states that is). It would be great to see some one do this that wasn't from the states. Just let it play on there all the time.
