OK...its that time of year--Senior Prom. I've had this idea in my head for the longest time...to basically pull up to the house of the girl who i want to ask, with PROM? written across my entire hatch window and like park my car on their lawn or something like that, and tell them to look outside.

Anyway, I'm trying to find something to use to actually write this on my window with... IIRC people use like shoe polish (or something like that), and i think my mom may have some of that. I've also heard of stuff specifically made for writing on windows with. If i cant use shoe polish, i basically want the cheapest thing that will be safe to use around my car.

Im not sure about shoe polish,i think you should be able to, but you can use window chalk. Its specially made to write on windows. The only problem is, sometimes its hard to get off if it gets on your seals, but since its on ur hatch, you shouldnt have a problem.

Oh yea, you can find it at walmart or craft stores.

zrated383

I'm pretty sure they make markers that you can buy at like Wal-Mart that are for writing on windows/glass. Last year the night before graduation the girls in my grade got together and tagged the guys cars...



It wasn't too hard to get off...some window cleaner and a razor blade did a nice job.

sasser43

yea thats the window chalk i was talking about. its not actually chalk, its like a marker-ish thing with a big circle tip. almost like...shoe polish.

This is gonna sound really bad...but how much you guys think that stuff would run me?

Seriously i can barely afford to pay for gas right now and prom tickets are $130/couple and a tux is gonna be atleast $60-90. ( Luckily my ride for prom will either be my uncles 05 NSX, 05 G55 AMG, or his 03 M3 )

zrated383

haha...don't be ashamed, many people know...wait till college when it costs money just to go to school, plus books, etc. It shouldn't be more than what the change in your console adds up to.

Ah dont even get me started on college...I have until the end of the month to commit between Pitt and Penn State and i still don't know which one i'm gonna go to.

Price sounds good. Maybe ill go pick that stuff up tonight. Any idea in what section in walmart they would have it???

sasser43

Most likely crafts.

I feel your pain. But to save money, Im going to pitt community for 2 years, then for my junior and senior year I'm going to ECU. I start pitt in a month so this week im going to reserve an apt. Thank god for financial aid and student loans.

just get some basic white shoe polish. it should be less than a couple bucks and obviously will be back in the shoe section of wal mart. my cars have gotten taged by it before and all it took was a little windex and a razor blade and it came right off.

we use shoe polish at the auto-x and at the drag strip. works great and washes off easily.

here I have shoe polish on the back glass and one of those colored markers on teh front windshield.

For our class of 05 celebration and when my g/f tagged up my car for our anniversary she got that stuff at Wal-Mart for windows. Its either in crafts or the automotive for sure.

thank god the chick i asked didnt write on my windows... she put posters and balloons all over it...i woke up in the morning to my parents telling me about it before i could even look out the kitchen window, i think they took a picture of it lol...oh god...and no it wasnt the girl i wanted to go with lol. I was one of those cool bunch that opted out of PROM(little bit of sarcasm there), just happened to mess with the girl who left her prom date that same night...and its the same girl who i have been with ever since that night...heh

just use shoe polish same stuff ud use to go to a track. Stuff comes off easy after a day or 2, but if left on for over a week or 2 and can be fun scraping off

IROCThe5.7L

Take her out to a nice dinner and ask her.

sasser43

I think it would have been funny if she would have woke up the next morning with posters and balloons all over her car saying "NO."

Oh yea and maybe "Dont touch my car anymore"

Camaroguy18

ahhh memories....I think it's funny how people in CA, FL...places like that get pumped because they get to take their parents ferrari or some other exotic to prom.....in MN I was pumped because I got to take my parents brand new 2500hd......have fun, wrap it up

MikeDirntRulez

We took a limo. And not everybody's parents in CA have exotic cars. I would have loved to have taken a truck with just me and my girl.

I like how people think of Californians. Whenever I meet people from out of state the first thing they ask me is "have you ever seen any celebrities"? Or my favorite "Have you ever watched American Idol in person"? Honestly, i'm setting the record, not everybody down here knows a celebrity or goes to the beach every day.... and the show on TV "OC" is not how everybody here lives

Just thought I would clear that up.

Justin Horne

Man, I'd love to take my Camaro, it just won't be done in time..

Oh well, have fun, good luck..

CrazyHawaiian

We had a rally today at our State Capitol building, a rally to support a new race track being built since our only race track is being closed this month and we got nowhere to race anymore. Well anyway, we wanted to write messages on our windows as we drove around the building again and again. Shoe Polish is no worries, I've used it multiple times and I think thats what they used to use at our old track for the car numbers and stuff. Just apply and when you need to clean it off use a stream of water and a ID card or old credit card or something like that. Just scrapes off when water is applied. Have fun!

I agree. Funny thing is that Lisa Tucker, the girl that got voted off of American Idol last week, goes to my high school and will be on the OC later this month. Second, I do go to the beach almost everyday.

MikeDirntRulez

I guess I would go every day too if I was closer.

I could go to Lake Perris and swim with the dirty diapers and dead bodies...... yummm.

OK so i did it! Of course she said yes!

I used the stuff you get at walmart (glass chalk i think its called).

Biggest problem was that i started the P and the R like on the flatter portion of the hatch, and realized when i got to the O that not only did i make the P & R too big, but i should have started them further to the left. So basically the P and R are huge, and the O and M are skinny, and the freaking question mark is like barely on my window hahaha. Makes me look retarded!!

Either way everyone i talked to thinks it was an awesome idea and hopefully this girl will always remember it as being awesome! I'll try to get a pic of my ugly job tommorow haha

you know you have to take the 'maro now...b/c you used it as a tool of getting her to go with you...

i took my turd to Prom last year, it was a lotta fun. parked next to a bunch of girls who had some **** taking them as dates, one of the girls i used to have a crush on, and i got rejected by her. well, she never got to see my car, she sure saw it that night, all waxed up and everything. i think she kinda wanted me after that b/c she started talking to me afterwords....sorry hun, i'm taken, you lose!

Sorry A Mack, but if I go to prom this year I'm stealing your idea.

iTrader: (1)

Don't worry...your at opposite ends of the country so its cool. Just don't make the same mistake i did and end up having to squeeze the letters in because it made it look like a 3rd grader did it. Maybe thats why her mom didnt seem to like me. Or maybe its just because she's a mustang driver haha!!

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

or because you parked in their lawn (that is, if you ended up doing that of coarse...)

sasser43

Wow bluezee28, I didnt know you were that young. I assumed you were older and had a full time job since your car is pretty much flawless.

LOL

nope definatly just turned 19 March 20th

i've been working for the same landscaping company since i was 14, getting bigger raises every year. now i'm making quite a large sum of money and about all of it either goes into the car or the girlfriend

DigitalMonarch0

Congratulations on not getting rejected!

Moms never like it when guys that they don't know come over, and I'm sure that it didn't help that you were on her lawn.

Let's see some pics!

Cadillac

All I have to add is GO TO PENN STATE!

I was born in Happy Valley and school in the mountains is awesome.

sasser43

Lucky you. Most of us can only afford one of the two But me, i can afford neither, full time college student.

Actually, i ended up not parking on her lawn with it, as her garage door was open and she had a pretty big driveway, i just backed my car into a spot on her driveway where it oculd be seen and told her to do me a favor and walk into her garage. What made it kinda funny was that the previous day she had sprained her ankle playing softball so she crutched it out into the garage on one crutch (because he other hand was holding the phone which she was talking to me on haha).

I'll get some pics tommorow. It was overcast all day here and i was out w/ her picking out a tux---- (ivory white tux with like a beige/taupe/gold-ish vest and long tie)--- Now just to pick out which vehicle i'm taking. Uncle doesnt really want me taking the NSX cuz i cant drive stick that well. So its between the G55 AMG or the M3.

Also, Cadillac, i pretty sure that i'm going to penn state. I was leaning that way for the past few months but this week i pretty much decided i would be going there.
