This troubles me...

Near where I work, I took a pic of this lovely machine attempting to stave off getting pulled over by the police...

You know, I don't mind that the car is old, I don't mind that it's in pretty rough shape...but if you're going to try and protect yourself from getting pulled over, at least use the right paint for crying out loud... [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]



Let's think about this too...he was standing over his car, taping off what he didn't want to paint...so he had plenty of time to figure out what colour to use right? Geeze, he's just asking to get pulled over now...

Just thought I'd share

Looks like he not only used the wrong color but painted the bulb also. I dought that bulb would shine through that paint.

From the look of the car, he probably has no money to fix it...that's my guess
Let alone getting pulled over and paying for a ticket

na i highly doubt he will get pulled for that if he had type r or some decals perhaps a wing then sure pulled in a heartbeat. he should have at least painted amber though.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

remember if you are going to do this, you must not reveal this delicate technique. also floss your car with style and pride once you are done.

Damn I think that sucks, maybe the person doesnt have enough money to do the repair. I mean look how old the car looks. Maybe that person just couldnt afford it. Remember not every can afford nice cars and it sucks not having money. Things like that doesnt trouble me, only when new cars put like dumb "FAST and The Furious" decals .
