If you're at a loss for words over that Bitchin Vette, I'm thinking you don't internet much.

Speaking of loss for words and cars, I saw a newish Camary with the license plate: '2GRRLS' and I almost rear ended them looking for the '1CUP' part.

I started scrolling through the pics and thought "I don't hate it" then I saw the dragon and the engine bay "artwork" remove that and I could like it.

From a tactical standpoint, I don't think those nice young warrior women are dressed appropriately for taking on a dragon...

Hehe - I thought the dragon was the best part... that is until I got to the engine bay work.

Apparently I need a van with a wizard on the side.

That's what I was thinking! Took a triple take to see the C5 hiding under there.

*I like the underhood artwork.

The airbrush work is honestly pretty good. It's not what I would put on any of my cars, but I must compliment the artist.

True, those are skilled airbrush depictions of bitchin' dragons and scantily clad barbarian warrior women.

We had a group of muscle car guys show up at a autocross. Everything on the cars was polished and airbrushed. Not my style, but it was really nice looking stuff. We got them all through tech and then it started raining. I fully expected them all to go home, but they didn't. They ran the dog crap out of those cars and at the end of the day, they were all unbelievably nasty. There was road grim and black crap everywhere. There wasn't a clean or shiny spot on those cars anywhere.

I swear I've seen that car in Grand Rapids before. Being from Indiana, I suppose it's possible.

Denver, Indiana is a place I've never been or heard of.

I know the first rule of "Say What" is don't talk about Say What, but if that doesn't get in the mag, there is something wrong in this world.
