Shooooot. I like this outcome. It's exactly me and exactly the exact opposite of me at the same time. I'm tempted to have a bunch of art school students do this to my car now.

Lots of people who love cars, who love art, and who love flash, do outrageous things with their cars. From lowriders and donks to pro street to rat rods to actual, literal, art cars. That so many people don't do this to their cars doesn't mean they're anti-art or anti-flash or anything of the sort, it just means that they sit comfortably at the crossroads of seeing their car as an appliance and not wanting to draw attention to themselves while on the open road. That's fine. There's so many other ways in life to express oneself that there's nothing wrong with not doing it through your car.
