Jaguar "customized" With 14,000 Post-It Notes
Scott Ableman says the folks at InPhonic get along great and love playing practical jokes on each other. He says one of his co-workers is "fanatical about his car," going so far as to park it in the "most remote corner of the garage." So, naturally, Scott and his office buddies just had to stick 14,000 Post-It-Notes on the
Take note, if you want to pull off a sticky job like this yourself, get several friends to help, raid the office supply room, and plan for it to take a couple of hours.
Scott says the owner of the car took the joke very well and was even able to drive home with most of the blocks on the car for his kids to see. And all you Jaguar fans shouldn't worry. Scott says no cats were harmed in the making of this practical joke.
I wonder, though, if in the ever-escalating InPhonic practical joke war, the Jag owner will come back next week and Wite-Out Scott's Porsche. Or color a co-worker's white Eos with pink highlighters. Scott, keep us updated. We definitely want to know what happens next in the InPhonic garage. Anyone there drive an Enzo, by any chance?
Many more photos after the jump, and even more at Scott's Flickr page.
Thanks to faithful reader, Spluch for the tip!

Nobody at AutoBlog can tell the difference between an XJ and an S-Type?

It amazes me how much free time people have on their hands at work, not to mention the fact that they can wear jeans and dress shirts...

Come on guys...you're kidding right? It's an S-Type. Anyone with a brain stem can tell that one.

We can excuse the poor writing and grammar, but the lack of basic automotive knowledge is just pathetic. Maybe at one point Autoblog was written by enthusiasts for enthusiasts...now it is just a mix of radical environmentalists and poseurs.
You guys better shape up or lose readers.

Its a Jag whatsit...they need some styling before they're worth differentiating, much less owning.

I wouldn't be at all happy with my colleagues if they did that to my car. Like I need everyone putting adhesives on my paint and scratching up the car with their jewelry? Bad joke.

So, how much does 14,000 Post-It notes cost, anyway?

Funny!
Question. How many people does it take to tell us it's an S type?

Looks like a pinata to me. Can I beat it with a bat please? By the way... not too bright to publish someone's license plate on the internet...

I think it was a funny joke even if they did get the type of the car wrong. I mean really it is not like the post its will really damage the car. A nice wash and wax and it will be good as new! I think it was histerical and I give the owner a pat on the back for seeing the joke as a joke and taking it so well,good sport!. I sure do hope tho,they gave him a free wash and detail with the joke LOL I think it looks great! How funny! If somebody did that to my car I think I would just die laughing!
