Indie maker Marc Lou shared AdCar, a creative monetization stunt: the seller divided an AMG's body into 103 ad spots (door panels, fenders, mirrors, priced $175–$1,749) offering a year of exposure in a wealthy Nordic region, plus X shoutouts, a YouTube collab and backlinks. 22 spots have sold, raising about $3,000. Related context: Higgsfield previously gave Marc $30,000 in API credits and a sponsored car, turning marketing into performance art.
