Speedy aspirations
Don’t give Ed Stembridge any ideas. 🙂
LOL!
It probably draws as many stares as the real thing, but for different reasons no doubt. But hey, if your goal is to get noticed…
Ouch! My eyes…
I’d consider the ‘Wolfsburg Crest’ to be more appropriate, and just as attractive:
I always find it interesting so see how many years it takes to see a new model that is either really beat-up or becomes an art project like this.
I like older cars because what I do to them, I do for me, not some future owner.

He’s got his directional wheel on the wrong side, unless his primary direction is backwards…
