Anime Central in Chicago has a decent dealers 
room, several cel dealers were there the year I 
went.  Drooled at a $5000 Ova Karla cel for one.

As for the car, would be more word of mouth if 
people saw it in the parking lot.  Kinda how some 
people take digital pics of any anime license 
plates found in hotel lot or the cool House of 
Anime van.
