The pig is a mascot for the Japanese manga (comic) magazine Young Magazine. It's always somewhere on the cover, an example of which can be found here: http://www.yanmaga.kodansha.co.jp/ym/top.html (Warning: This will always have a bikini-clad teenie-bopper on the cover. It's your call if it's apprpriate for work!)
The pig appears on Petter Solberg's rally car. For the past two years the pig has only been on the driver's side mirror. Back in 2002 it showed up on the co-driver's side as well, but that seems to have been dropped now. It ONLY appears on Petter's car -- Mikko's car doesn't have it, and Tommi's (when he was with Subaru) did not either. Toshihiro Arai (in the Production championship) has the pig on both of his side mirrors, as well as a little piggie on his driving suit. I suspect that it's a personal sponsor, rather than sponsoring the entire Subaru World Rally Team or STi.
If you want a pig decal, I would recommend checking out www.dreamspeedonline.com, since they have more accurate pigs than the ones pictured in the eBay link. That's where I have my pigs from.

work smart, people
EvErYtHiNg CaN bE sOlVeD, iT jUsT tAkEs TiMe...
An old man lived alone in Idaho.
He wanted to spade his potato garden,
but it was very hardwork. His only son,
who used to help him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and
described his predicament. Dear Son, I am
feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't
be able to plant my potato garden this year.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up garden
plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me. Love Dad.
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad, For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that
garden, that's where I buried the BODIES. Love Son
At 4am the next morning, F.B.I. agents and local police
showed up and dug up >the entire area without finding
any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from
his son. Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the potatoes now.
That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Son
The moral of the story: Work smart not hard. USE your brain, in the
perceived impossible, sometimes it can make the impossible possible.

boring overcast afternoon
going for lesson soon. thought might pop by and say hello. the haze is here again. not much sun, and even rained in the morning the past 2 days.
oil was US$20 per barrel in 2001. now its $60. was approaching 80 last couple of months. quite amazing. anyway, heres a little joke. hope its funny.
A little boy about 10 years old was walking down the sidewalk, dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him. He came up to the doorstep of a $#&%$ house and knocked on the door. When the Madam answered it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted. He said, "I want to have sex with one of the women inside. I have the money to buy it, and I'm not leaving until I get it." The Madam figured, why not, so she told him to come in. Once in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked. He asked, "Do any of the girls have any diseases?" Of course, the Madam said, "No!" He said,
"I heard all the men talking about having to get shots after making love with Amber. THAT'S the girl I want." Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it, the Madam told him to go to the first room on the right. He headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him. Ten minutes later he came back, still dragging the frog, paid the Madam, and headed out the door! . The Madam stopped him and asked,
"Why did you pick the only girl in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others?" He said, "Well, if you must know, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant to eat, leaving me at home with a baby-sitter. After they leave, my baby-sitter will have sex with me because she just happens to be very fond of cute little boys. She will then get the disease that I just caught. When Mom and Dad get back, Dad will take the baby-sitter home. On the way, he'll jump the baby-sitter's bones, and he'll catch the disease. Then when Dad gets home from the baby-sitters, he and Mom will go to bed and have sex, and Mom will catch it. In the morning when Dad goes to work, the Milkman will deliver the milk, have a quickie with Mom and catch the disease, and HE'S the son-of-a-^#!#@ who ran over my FROG!"
well if its not funny, thanks for reading.
