Default Needs some ideas for a "do not touch" sign....

As most of my fellow forums members know, I participate in the show circuit quite often. Here recently I've noticed a greater amount of spectators that have become acustomed to touching and poking at different engine components. True, it will probably not cause any damage but as a personal preference I'd rather not have anyone touch the vehicle.

I'm looking for a tasteful and respectable way to have a small sign attached to the car or vacinity that would dissuade spectators from touching and probing at the vehicle.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any....

Thanks,
Val

step 1 - smuggle king cobra into the US.
step 2 - **** cobra off.
step 3 - place cobra in engine bay.
step 4 - poke cobra with stick, and get it used to attacking stick when placed close to engine.
step 5 - put small sticker on car that says "beware of pissed off cobra, and you are not liable for injuries inflicted by said cobra"
step 6 - step away from the vehicle.

Hook the Z up to a tazer gun or battery and you don't need a sign

I don't understand why people are that dump. I go to a local show every Monday night. In case you don't know, I have a TN kit. Everyone wants to touch it. Most of them come over as soon as I pull up and do it. I've told people to be carefull, very hot. They still to it and say you weren't kidding. So retarded.

I was thinking about going to Office depot to see if they have any little suction cups with clips. Maybe just print out a small sign and attach it to it. Something I could remove easily if need be, for photographers ext....

Not a bad idea. It be easy to post them in small places, then remove them after the show. Another place I'd like to have one is in the hatch area. I don't know why but people like to poke on my sub. Maybe it's the shiny sub cone that attacts them, like flies to the bug zapper...

I like that idea. I'm going to stop Office Depot during lunch and see what they have.

I'm just brainstorming ideas here. I have an idea of what I want to do, I'd just like to hear suggestions from others and what they've seen.
