Shiny

8-)

Quite. 

Is that duct tape on the rear corner?

I imagine on sunny days you'd have to wear welding lenses to drive that.

Looked like foil tape. It was shiny, too.

Chromed C4?

For some reason I really, really like that.

I haven't been able to make up my mind. It's so "I'm doing blow in miami, and just don't GAF",  I kind of respect it.

The "DANA JET" plate has me curious as well.

I saw a blue-crome jaguar F-type on Phoenix a while back. I noticed it from about 3 blocks away as a blinding light in the distance under the Arizona sun, once it was closer i was able to tell what it actually was

If that isn't a penis extension of the highest order, I can't imagine what would be.

Also, when I become benevolent dictator, that car would be banned, along with the chrome strips on the bottom of mudflaps.

I was hoping for this kind of shiny.

Yeah, I was hoping for a Firefly reference too. Instead I'm all

There’s a local Bentley(I think) wrapped in a 2-tone copper/brass like that. You definitely can’t not see it. 

Now tomahtoa hasn't always been this glam. I was a drab little crab once.

Wouldn't all that silver clash with the gold chains around his neck?

Spaceball 1!

Its gone full gold chain.

I was going to post the exact same thing. Already have it in my copy/paste buffer. 

Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam

Is that Colesville Road and Fenton Street in Silver Spring?  Looks pretty familiar.  I grew up about 2 miles from there.

Indeed it is. I think we've had this discussion before. I work on the other side of that block (ga Ave). 

LOL I'm old.  I don't remember having this conversation.  Is Dennis Brown's King Fu Academy still on that corner?  Probably not, I'm guessing the rent went up a little in the 25 years since I left that area.

Dammit. Now I regret selling my c4. So much missed opportunity. The paint was even already trashed.

Maybe the discussion should be on whether chrome spray paint or stick-on foil or shiny vinyl is the best method. If I didn't love the red color of my daily I would definitely do some field testing.

Also, this is totally sweet and anyone disagreeing with me is WRONG WRONG WRONG. 

In reply to barefootskater :

Polish chrome is never the answer.

I can't recall if it was on the board, or through emails. We have a place in brookland and I thought you mentioned living near there too. Clearly neither of us have great memories :-p

No more Kung Fu. Pretty sure it wasn't there by the time I started this job 7 years ago. The area has changed a great deal even since then.

Maybe this is the solution to people claiming that they can't see my BRIGHT BLUE miata......

No, because those same dots don't see motorcyclists wearing day-glo yellow.
