In about 4-5 months I’m going to be painting the unofficial UBRF/NYSpeed slutmobile. So like all the other cool kids on the internet. I figured “Hey, I can post a poll and make people choose for me like everyone else does?”. So obviously I’d do just as such, and here it is along with a wonderful selection of choices.
**But the outcome doesn’t really matter, because Option #5 is the correct one. Because using the internet to think = the suck.**
EDIT: The Shadow, not the WRX.

Seriously it was a lawnmower…we chained some racks to it at the last shop and mowed the field down so that everyone could do burnouts and drift in the field…I miss that stuff alot.

well, I really wanted mother nature to take of the rest, but swirl marks would look pretty cool
How aboutd deep swirls, darker paint, light wipe down while paint was wet, then a clear. Kinda like staining wood.
