Mulder, there has to be a reasonable explanation. Perhaps it was a strange shadow on the headrest. We can't rule that out!

BTW, how did you paint the car ? Is it spray paint ? - because you did a fine job if it is ( no patchiness and striping that i can see )

The choice of font, the placement, the humor etc, all add up to what is now my favorite car on this site.

I even like the way you curved the tape over the edges of the tail, in the direction of the airflow as it spills over the sides.
Why, thank you, Cd!!

It's just "camouflage" green spray paint. I scuffed the whole car with 400 grit before painting. I've spray painted a few things in my day, so it wasn't a big effort. You just have to take your time and do a few light coats.

Sometimes you need to use humor to tell people things they wouldn't consider otherwise. The jokes make it approachable- I know it's weird, and it's okay to say so.

I didn't go to art school for nothing! (And the tape lines simply cover the scores in the 'plast)

TangoCharlie, I would you like a side of boat tail with that stencil?
