Pictures of Brent's car with Christmas lights as requested by Stefannye.
Brent used several hundred suction cups to attach Christmas lights to his car. He used a 12 volt sealed lead acid battery that weighed 130 lbs, kept in the trunk, to power the lights. He also had some fancy light sequencing thing that he controlled from a box he made. All engineer stuff that I can't quite explain clearly. Anyway it was quite a sight to see. He put them on last Christmas 2007 which may be his last year. He started this Christmas car lighting tradition in 2002, also doing it in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

oh guys! Thanks! I feel so special...wish we could have seen them in person.
i wondered if your car got any action this year. =)
Man Brent, we all will miss your car lights! It was so much fun to see people who passed our old house stopping and watching the lights. It was a novelty specific to you! You are a one-of-a-kind guy, and you have a face only a mother can love: - ) Love, Mom
ps Next year let Ethan and Meredith help with the lights! It will be a Christmas that Ethan will never forget, and involving him in putting it together will create an even stronger bond with you, his Daddy.
