Here is the other car I did't let people's opinion of me stop from happening.
This car was half '87 Geo Spectrum and half '89 Chevy Spectrum.
It was the first time I ever did any body work on a car. Mostly grinding rust and screwing on aluminum sheets. I wanted to do something with the paint that would camoflage the work done on it. The car was mostly white already, so I painted the hood white and cut out contact paper to make a cow spot template.
Everyone in public loved the cow car! It was anti-road rage! People would smile and wave at me on the road.
The car was retired on Sept 11, 2002 after the engine self-destructed on the interstate.
Last summer, I was at a friends bar-b-q and he told me he saw the cow car just a mile or two from his house. We drove over and found it parked in a driveway. Nobody was home, so we couldn't stop and say hello.
I am assuming that somebody loved the paintjob and bought it from the scrapyard. I have no idea if it runs or not, but I hope somebody else is enjoying it now.
