A DIY version of the car one would be fun. Especially if it was more like those LED scrollers. I could sit there and scroll and flirt with the hot women that are driving behind me.

who in their right mind would pay $60 for a guitar pick? not to mention that that thing looks huge! i don't think it'll replace my jim dunlop medium nylon.
might be fun to play guitar hero with, though. (if you haven't, try playing that game with a pick. makes fast stuff easier to play.)

Chicks may not dig scrolling signs, but when you change the message for them, it would at least make them smile.
Maybe A DIY version would be an update to this make project:
$20 Computer Scrolling LED

I believe Johnny 5 made use of this technique for charming women in Short Circuit 2.

I believe Johnny 5 made use of this technique for charming women in 1988's Short Circuit 2.

Yeah. I'm sure hot girls are thrilled of the idea of yet one more place geeky guys will be trying to hit on them.

another negative point of mesging hot female drivers is you might make another hot girl full of herself. I prefer the humble, hot girls, thank you very much.
