I've heard that you can actually buy a pixel on the livery, with the proceeds going to some environmental cause. They say you can could actually see your name on the car... under a microscope! Since you would never, ever get so close to the car, I think it's probably a big hoax!

I think that's a brilliant idea.
Hoax or not, that's a brilliant fricken idea.
Drive 200mph and help the environment

Speaking of which, I hope you guys are thinking about joining the MBworld Folding@Home team. Install a program on your computer that runs in the background and you're on your way to helping find the cure for cancer!

An interesting set of reactions. The link is here. I can only guess why Honda's doing this - sounds like the kind of thing the directors might dream up. I like the idea but it's hard not to be cynical.
