It's fine. But it's not new. Mobile advertising has been around 20 years.

I'm thinking with the price of gas you really better have a strong business plan and some committed customers.

Whoa! I agree, now may not be the best time for mobile advertising.

It would be a good idea if you use the car/truck as a daily driver, to drive around the city right now would be wasteful and expensive.

I had never seen one of those till I recently moved to Arizona about 1 year ago. Very cool, probably costs too much for the buyer when gas goes up

Well if the truck runs on solar power he'd have nothing to worry about. I don't think it's a bad idea, I think if it's a good route then business can't be that bad...esp. in traffic.

I think its a pretty good idea, but its definetely been done. Do you know how much you would sell ads for and how many hours of exposure they would get?
