I think the key is to make sure it is fairly "personal" - and easy to 
see and retrieve.  Having your name and contact info helps with that.

I have left notes on various vehicles over the years, bu they were 
always handwritten, perhaps on the back of a personal calling card.

The last one was on an excavator, offering to take the foundation about 
to ripped out for solid fill... which worked...

I'd draw it at 1992, except for S-cars.  But that's just my opinion.

Obviously, later model Audi owners are perfectly welcome here, but their 
density is higher elsewhere, so their needs might not be met.

How about all the models listed as "historical" on audiworld? hmmm
