The message changes every few minutes, they are mostly the little taglines you saw on the website (while flash is loading the next page) but yeah, there's a slew of cheeky motoring phrases. I was sitting outside with my co-workers at lunch, and we were reading them. Someone suggested setting up a webcam to capture all of the phrases.. so, yeh I'm getting one of the Motorboard key fobs. Soon as I do I will send you pics, etc for WRR, ok?</p> Heya Gabe, there’s one near my work here in San Francisco.
