Gale Banks can built you a Trans Am that will show taillights to all of
that crap for far, far less money. Hell, he can build you a diesel
pickup truck that will take most of 'em.

I wonder how perfect the base has to be. Probably _absolutely_ flat.
This could be an easy way to make custom shaped mirrors, too, huh?

Check out that Lambo in the 2007 SEMA show video. Booful!

cars. Status symbols for punks with big money.
Style? Not so much. Not a single car on that list gives me warm
fuzzies, drool, and a desire to wash and wax it.
Touring a coastal highway surrounded by wood and leather with the
rumble of a big thirsty V-12, barely audible over a fantastic stereo.
A large enough trunk to haul a couple of week's worth of clothing, bag
of bananas, crate of Claret, a large format (8x10) camera with a box
of film and a Martin D-28.... okay, the D28 rides in the back seat.

DB9.... Nothing to talk about.
