Setting your truck on fire so it can be seen from a distance seems a little
counter-productive to me. ;-)

If we can replace the smoke and ash with florescent paint that can be seen
from the ISS ...

Tests have suggested hot pink to be a better color for hunters to
wear rather than orange, that has been mistaken for the red tail.

Did that back in high school. We 'found' 5 gallons of the
reflecterized international orange that highway dept had misplaced and
rolled it on a 48 MB. Had a metal half top with improved head room
thanks to a few injudicious bumps we took and at night it would light
up from miles away when headlights hit it. We considered donating it
to AA when we graduated - bet we recruited more than a few new members
for them <g>.
