Maybe you're not scared of Toyotas and their current acceleration maladies but I am, especially, after seeing video of a runaway Prius peace officers had to stop by putting the cop cruiser in front of the Prius' bumper at 94 miles per hour: ninety-freakin'-four.
I'd like to stencil the back window of my car or get a reflective bumper sticker:
ATTN: TOYOTA--CHANGE LANES NOW
TOYOTA: FREE GAS NEXT LEFT
TOYOTA: ROAD KILL REDEFINED
TOYOTA: RETURN TO SENDER

Ideas sprout like wildflower seeds in an undiscovered meadow.
I calculate arrangements of words, the medium of artistic expression, here, colorizing language and dialect, and with visual regard for punctuation.
I seek a voice to find your ear or heart, hyperactivate your mind, challenge or bolster your values, aim at your deepest fears to electrify their vulnerabilities.
Your reaction is my reward, defines my success.
I give no less concentration or effort than you who paint, play piccolo, plant petunias or pan-fry potatoes.
"Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to." Somerset Maugham
