Any creative people out there?

Next week is senior weekend, and Friday night is the motorcade to the football game. We all get to decorate our cars and then drive to the game in a big, long, police escorted line. (yeah I know accident waiting to happen...last year it was a teacher that caused an accident, not a teenager believe it or not...)
Problem is I have no creativity and have to do some shopping early next week for supplies to decorate my truck (Explorer). Beyond putting streamers on my antenna and my roof rack, I have no clue what to do. School colors are red, white and blue, so supplies will be easy enough to find.
So, does anyone have any suggestions for some fun ideas that won't make me go broke, and that would be easy to make my truck all nice and school spirity?

Fresh out of ideas today but I'm sure someone will have some great ides. Have you tried researching on the net for ideas?type in "decorating truck senior weekend" or something like that.

Have a great weekend!

I have seen a lot of kids around here with some sort of "paint" that is specially made for car windows. I don't know where they get it, maybe a party story.

I've got a few ideas, but wanted to if there is a theme involved?

Cynsaun, just a school spirit kind of theme. We're the Crusaders (our mascot).
Thanks for the suggestions.

Does the school have a mascot or some kind of theme?

We recently did a Wizard of Oz theme for the Relay for Life tent. It was pretty easy to make a house, put some striped socks with ruby slippers (spray painted) sticking out and dress up like Dorothy and gang. Easy but cute!

Once we have more info I'll think of some more!

Ok, I was thinking you could use the windows of your car as sort of a stage. Envision taking big poster board and drawing a scene. Tape one on each window and use streamers as a pulled back curtain on each window. Does this make sense?

You can make the body of your car look like the Trojan horse. If you can get brown rolled paper, you can wrap your car (make sure to leave a slit for you to get in the car!) in the brown paper, and create a sort of horse neck and head out of a tomato cage wrapped with the brown paper, and attach it to the top, front of your roof. Then use black streamers as the mane and the tail.

Hope this gives you some ideas! Have fun!

Wow, Cynsaun, that's really creative, and a really cool idea. Unfortunately I think it's also way over my head in the artistic department. I'm one who has to stick with the KISS method for anything artsy. But it's a great idea, and if my friends are feeling particularly artsy, then we might see what we can do.
I was thinking about the paint type stuff...anyone have any ideas of sayings or whatever besides "Go Crusaders"?
