then ill buy another sharpie and do it again, unless i magically find an extra $1000 to rent a chamber, buy paint and do the job myself..

about five months ago, i 'sharpied' my scraped rear bumper (courtesy of the previous owner), and the sharpie still stays full color, not giving any sign of fading. friends cant even tell unless they look at it closely.

My sister's old '86 Corolla was rusting out terribly So we threw on a couple coats of red spray paint and topped it off with a couple white, 4 inch "racing" stripes everyone knew her car!

Exterior Modifications

Here's my theory: Keep it ghetto on the outside. Then maybe those damn kids will stop trying to steal my radio. I thinking of installing some rust patches soon! I'll post some pics for anyone else that wants to keep it ghetto. lol.

One time my girl cleaned her car (quick once over) with windex. Her car was only 3 months old at the time 91 ES 300

Then she got upset at me when I told her what the hell are you doing!!!
