GREAT! Now if only there were T-shirts!
Couple of BUGS to report: I ordered two different sizes, and when adding the second one (running IE6) the javascript didn't refresh the panel properly (showed only the first one and looked like it ignored the second one even though it really did it) Also, the change in quantity of each line item and the overall shopping cart is a bit awkard and didn't take credit card but I'm sure you knew that and Kelly or someone will follow up. Maybe I'm just pointing out known issues--but I'm just trying to help.
Don't get me wrong--I love that you're doing this and am very happy to be getting some stickers!

OK,
I ordered... A 20" and a 9" Buzzsaw. I've got the big Ford SUV that needs one in the rear window too. Mine just isn't as tricked out and modded like that white one... Who owns that thing anyway? Is it Jarred's?

It will have to be... That's the only option they give. ;)
Too bad, because I was hoping to write a check and bounce ..er, mail it on over. :D

Hmm...after seeing the RED plane...now that SUV and I am sure there has to be a RED boat....I am starting to wonder if Mr. Jannard has a secret identity? REDMAN! You can guess what his chest logo would be along with his superpowers...
Jeff Kilgroe
01-16-2007, 10:07 PM
OK... A BUG... MAYBE...
I ordered a few stickers about an hour ago. The site said it would email me a confirmation immediately, I'm assuming for PayPal follow-up and completion of the order. It's been about an hour and still nothing. Anyway, going to sleep now and will check in the morning. I will report here either way, success or not.

Very nice jim... Already ordered a couple including the big one. I second the idea for the tshirt.. I love my other RED shirt (Thanks Jarred) and now it is time for a couple more.

Are they hiding in the giant SUV with the sticker?

No. The giant sticker turns into a sombrero if you flick it, though.
Jeff Kilgroe
01-17-2007, 08:51 AM
OK,
I ordered about 10.5 hours ago and was told I would receive an email. Still no email or way to complete the order transaction... What's up?

Finner, I think they're referring to the web store. The graphic links are not loading for me either.
I think any car compared to Jim's would look small in comparison (I have an Xterra like Jared's, 2006 SE Model) . MTV should do a Crib's on Jim's home; I bet his driveway could easily be a photo spread for a luxury car magazine except his includes a jet! There a Red motorcycle or helicopter?

Ford is over. Get Porsche SUV. I tought that Jim has at least something like 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
Specs & Features
http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayenne/cayenne-turbo-s/featuresandspecs/
"520 horses, or about 1,000 camels
In the Cayenne Turbo S, Porsche increased the already potent Cayenne Turbo's 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 horsepower and torque 16 and 15 percent, respectively — and yet it consumes no more fuel than its 450-hp brother in normal driving conditions. By enlarging and constructing the twin intercoolers entirely of aluminum, the engineers were able to promote higher efficiency and better flow conditions in the heat exchangers. The result is a reduction of turbo pressure loss by 50 percent. This more rigid system in turn allows the turbocharger pressure to be increased by 2.9 psi up to a maximum of 27.6 psi. "

Yeah, but the Ford Excursion is BIGGER and, uh well, it's BIGGER and I can fit a BIGGER RED setup in the back and/or seat more people and did I mention it's BIGGER? ;)
Never know, maybe Jannard has one of the new Cayennes too... As for me, I'm kinda stuck with the Ford. Works great, but at times I wish it were smaller. Mine isn't as big as the RED XUV though... Or at least I don't have the dualie setup in the rear, the extra lift and oversized chrome steps. I'll have my RED stickers in a couple days though. Kelly said she'd mail them today. ;)

01-17-2007, 12:46 PM
Well, take your choice: Cayenne S or a Red One.
Kristin Stewart

Too polluting... Why do all these males want such monsters ? Are you not considered without ?
Jim, we have space wagons too in Europe : Renault Espace
7,5 l per 100 km
190 km/h max (it's far enough)
You'll be able to put all your lovely children... no excuses !
Kristin :)

I think the Renault is still a few seats short.
And newer, larger engines in trucks/SUVs aren't as polluting as many people think. It's all about what emissions come out of the tailpipe and with new emission standards and more eficeint motors / fuels, I would be more concerned about pollutants coming out of an '86 Toyota that's still on the road.
Also consider what else people do with their vehicles. The American demographic is a different situation. I drive something pretty big because I readily have to:
1 > Go off road
2 > Pull trailers
3 > Carry lots of people
4 > Do all of the above at the sime time while pulling steep mountain slopes.
...The wife and kids can drive that mini-van thing.

7.5L / 100km... That's roughly 31miles/gallon... Plenty of American vehicles do that these days. My big ol' Ford SUV runs diesel and gets about 17mpg under ideal conditions, maybe as good as 20mpg going down hill. I average 13.5mpg in reality - that's what the onboard computer says.
My wife's car averages about 26mpg -- showroom sticker claimed 34mpg, but we all know how that works. Wonder what that Renault really gets.

Alright...and however but just by night I can recommend Albufeira. And well, I can recommend by day too!

I can guarantee you that there's enough room in Jim's truck. That thing is enormous, especially when you're standing next to it or sitting inside. I would be very afraid if it was coming my way ;)
I guess you can call it a civilian tank? :)

You are in the UK so I suppose you should have them in 2 weeks max.
Just ordered a bunch of different stickers for my new car!
I really really hope the car gets here well before the stickers arrive :)
Ford all the way!
Cayennes are actually remarketed VW Touareg...
But if you want a beefed up station waggon why go for the gassoline guzzler Cayenne/Touareg and not for something more ecco-friendly? (OK, I might get egged by some people about this :D)
There's the Lexus Hybrid SUV for one.
