The Post-It Note Jaguar (covered with sticky notes)

The photo that started it all. Our parking garage never looked so bright. This photo was posted to flickr the same day and shot into the Explore pages almost instantly (now the 3M Post-It people have copied it without permission).

I would do a wind tunnel application sticky side first so no wind would cup underneath like... winshield notes upside down,door notes sideways and the back of the car rightside up.
This way less would be blown off by driving.

This was your brain-child? I remember reading about this car and seeing stories of it all over the news. Classic shot. The recognition this received was well-deserved. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing this with us in the KARMA ** WHEELS OF FORTUNE ** THREAD

I wish I could say it was my brainchild. I was just the guy with the camera and the flickr account!

My brother-in-law is getting married on July 7th, and how *incredible* would it be to do this to his car as a "wedding automobile prank"? LOL!!! :) Too cool. Thanks so much for the laugh! I want to know ~ how long did it take for him to remove all of those sticky notes?

Scott Ableman says:

His kids did it. I'm sure they came off faster than we applied them (though we did make sure to rotate every note so they wouldn't peel off easily en masse).

That is so awesome! Plus if somebody had a really dirty car, they could try to replicate the car in the picture then take the sticky-notes off and they would have little lines where the sticky part was, that would be fun too. Again, that is awesome!
