How about this?

Those of you who know the recent happenings at Apple Computer know that
their new computer is called the "iMac". The idea is that the new computer
is an "Internet Mac", hence the name. (they also call Steve Jobs, the
interim CEO of Apple, the iCEO ;)

Anyhow, what we could do is to simply get a silver letter "i" and put that
in front of our VR6 badges, so that they simply read:

"iVR6", or "iGLX" or "internet VR6/GLX".

It allows us to avoid having anything special printed, such as a list
sticker, or a license plate frame. All it would take to make the "internet
edition" jetta would be to go to some wrecking yard, and pick up an "i"
from a 318i BMW or something and attach it carefully to the front/rear of
our cars. If you can't find an i on a BMW, I'm sure there are other cars
with "i" based badges that could be used.

It's simple, inexpensive, and gets the point across that we're "wired"
Jetta owners.

Any thoughts on the idea? Any way we could easily and effectively affix the
"i" to the car?
