You get the idea. Since most Nixie tubes can only display numbers, they'd be mounted upside down so you could use calculator spelling (e.g., 07734 translates to “hello”, 5318008 translates to… well, you get the idea, again).

Thanks for the explanation, Vernon. But blah on the idea. Not in a good mood, so just blah.

So you'd communicate in leetspeak and volapuk?

The word "Nixie" is actually an Americanised spelling of "Nixi", the Latin equivalent of "Andrew", after the inventor's son.

Or, communicate by finding signage with the words you want, and driving over it such that it becomes entangled in your rear bumper.
