@Brian: TOTALLY flattered. Two of the greatest artists going. Pollock I get a lot but you are the first to see Steadman's influence. Mostly the scotch but some of his art too.
@hfulkeantant: You did these? Nice work! Looking back, I can see my comment could have been interpretated as a negative. I'm glad you took it as it was intended (praise + a little humor).
What brand is represented by the logo in picture number 5?
It looks a bit like the OPEC logo, perhaps from another era? If it is, than that is the most clever artist ever. Imagine this, the artist could sell the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] one OPEC logo painting for the office and a bunch for the garages. The only thing he would have to do is to convince the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] that gold chrome or real gold leaf is not necessary and does not need to be added to the artwork.
I really like these... hope the artist does well and can expand the collection to include a Yugo logo.
White (and silver) make perfect sense in ht sunny climats. I will never ever buy a dark colored car in L.A. , even dark leather interiors are way to hot in the sun.
Some days, I'm suprised you can buy an Econoline or Savana/Express in any colour other than white.
My current steed is also white, although I swear it wasn't deliberate. Although, it's a lot less depressing when I can't tell there's 6 inches of snow on my car unless I'm right beside it.
My father had a White Mondeo V6. We used to love doing 70 on the motorway and watching everyone slam on their brakes as they overtook us, waited to check we weren't an unmarked police car, and then accelerated off again...
It was fun also to chase them a half a mile or so while wearing reflective hi-vis jackets....
....all of which is illegal so obviously didn't happen, officer.
@Rust-MyEnemy--ymenEyM-tsuR: That got a good chuckle out of me. I had a set of hazards on a Ford (USDM amber-headlamp-amber cateye lights) that would alternately flash the inner and outer ambers. A few times I flipped them on behind slower cars and they freaked out and pulled over.
It probably also helped I was in a black car with black rims and chrome centercaps.
You are awarded the 'white rabbit hoon' award of the day.
It's suddenly leaping out at people which scares the shiz out of them. Like when the kid passes you in his WRX, and you then leap out and accelerate after thm, 9 times out of ten his brake lights will come on.
When we were in the Mondeo people quite often swerved out of our way, with virtually no provocation.
We clearly share hobbies. Have a clicky-hearty thing. Plutonic, of course.
@Rust-MyEnemy--ymenEyM-tsuR: A "Deep Wedgewood Blue" Crown Vic must have the same effect. My father used to have one, and whenever I'd borrow the Vic and wanna open up that V8, all I had to do was ride the bumper of the guy in the left hang. Traffic opened up real quick.
It would really suck when I would get boxed in with no one speeding due to the Crown Vic in their midst.
@blogenfreude: I scoff at their conclusion! I drive a white full size truck, equipped with daytime running lights, and STILL manage to be completely invisible to every other car on the road.
Growing up, my family had a white 95 Suburban. At 120k miles there wasn't a ding visible beyond 5 feet.
I love that my silver/grey with a hint of dirt WRX hides dirt so well. But I bought it because of the mileage and price (it was 1 year used). I wish I had a blue or black one.

A perfect example why star commenters should "Show all discussions".
