[SML] Two things: Grease Car and creating fake Neon Sign

[Dale Farmer]

For simulating neon signs, they now make LED tape light strips that are 
nicely diffused and come in several different colors.   the search 
phrase is COB led strip light.   You can bend and twist this to lots of 
different shapes to make your own "neon" sign.   Get the stuff that you 
can cut to length, and buy a couple more power supplies.  It is 
endlessly useful.  Battery or mains powered versions available.
If not mounted on heat sinks, it will not last a long time, but should 
last the run of a show.
