Yeah, in my opinion, having a car that LOOKS like it is still being worked on, and repaired...

is better than "faking the funk" with a patchwork quilt of sparkly vinyl.

Again, this is just my opinion. The opinion of a man that doesn't agree with drifting to begin with, so take it with a grain of salt. I am just offering another point of view for you guys to throw into the equation.

My car is far from representing the epitome of proper coverings. Like you guys, I was tired of seeing my car in primer, with mismatched panels and such. It was actually my Dad's idea to rattlecan it one weekend he was in town to visit. We both knew it wasn't the right way to do it, but it sounded fun. So we chose a color that represented me, and tied to him. That's why I still like the look of my car. I'd like to have a more professional paintjob, and will hopefully paint it before I put it back on the road. But I understand the need to try to make it look better.

I guess I just don't understand the desire to represent yourself with colors and patterns that I would find on my 6 year old daughters Hanna Montana backpack. But again, I don't understand the desire to destroy cars by bouncing them off walls and other cars for "style points". So who am I to judge?
