You AND your car!

Remember, 9,500 CDN is currently more like 7,500 USD. And for a few extra dollars, surely you could hire an airbrush artist to give that lady a respectable top.

Or give her a third breast.

you say that like it’s a bad thing.

I was gonna make a canvas for a friend’s “stoner art” exhibit, but I missed the deadline and ran out of gas. it’s just sitting unfinished right now, but anyway, this type of van art was totally the look I was going for. originally I was going to incorporate Trogdor into it, too, but I had already bit off more than I could chew. Anyway, it’s on velvet, and I ordered blacklight paint for it, too, but this is just acrylic so far. spoilered because NSFW

You had me at “ran out of gas”, but it was Trogdor that totally won me over. A beefy-armed dragon would have fit perfectly in there.

I was right, I showed it to her, and she did not like the naked ladies. I’m fairly certain she thought it was sexist.

The customer is always right. (I wouldn’t drive around with that, either.)

If the van is a-rockin’…

I am so sorry, everyone. I would drive that sucker every goddamned day.

If it helps, I’d pay top dollar to commission a local airbrush artist to render Ms Topless Vulcan Queen riding on the shoulders of a leashed, shirtless Spock, with his Vulcan junk hangin’ out.

That interior is fan-fuckin-tastic. I used to drive a 1977 Mustang II Ghia (which stood for Gotta Help It Along, according to my buddies), which also had scarlet velour upholstery. Few things make me happier than driving around in an underpowered 70s ride with an interior that looks like a Turkish bordello.

I still want a Viking long-van. With oar-ports and everything.

Weird. If you’re that much of a Scooby fan, why would you not paint your van to be the Mystery Machine?

Because it just wouldn’t be the same without Daphne, Fred and Velma?
