I hear that.. There's so many people with them painted like that in town I'd
hate to work at the DMV. I don't know why they're putting it on old S10's,
and 80's Caprices though. There's even a little 4 dr Datsun that's wearing
it now. Seems it'd make more sense to at least start with a canvas before
you start the painting.
