I thought I would hate it, but...I don’t. Cars are such boring appliances now. Seeing these goofy things on the road, dripping with personality actually makes me happy.

I totally would have paid someone a lot of discretionary cash back in my 20's for some Hellsing art on my old beige Subaru GL wagon
I play a lot of GeoGuesser, spotted this Moby Dick themed FX.
This is so cool. The artwork is amazing. I wish something like this would take off in the States. As it sits, if I were to do this, I would just be a lone weirdo because nobody would get it. I would get airbrushed versions of my tattoos around the back.

Wholeheartedly and unreservedly.
How did we get out Murica’d, and by Russia of all places?
More of this please. I would love to see this happening here. Yes there will be some terrible design decisions but to get rid of the sea of white/black/silver would be awesome. Seen a few newer cars with cool colours (current gen Civic comes to mind) but this would be the next level.
Art car parade brah.
Because no one is going to remember seeing a rattle can painted license plate number if it drives by, esp. if it was a common strategy. This isn’t about verifying ownership, it’s about making the car conspicuous and so making it a less attractive target.

Holy shit she’s amazing. That artwork is seriously impressive.
превосходно. Marina should set up a satellite shop in Anchorage, Alaska. Second most car thefts in the USA per capita. They should have caught on to this idea. The polar bear would be in high demand.
Of these, this one is my favourite:
Someone’s jealous...
