    It's an obvious MS Paint. You can tell by the pixels.

    So, an RX-7 meet is one guy driving an FD, and everyone else showing up in their other cars? Sounds like a Lotus Club, pre-Elise.

    Nah, that was taken at the Gainesville "staging area," and remarkably, everyone but me arrived in a running RX-7!

    My camera died before we got to the actual meet.

    Well, to be serious, there's no shading and the letters don't get all wavy as they pass over the body contours (especially that sharp one lower-mid door).

    But practically, Subaru owners generally use duct tape since the 3M Blue is so expensive. And duct tape doesn't show up on a silver car all that well.

    Hmmm... You obviously have a very sharp eye!

    (and yes, I realized I left off a leg of the "R" before I went anywhere...)

    Some more of the few pictures I managed to take:

    MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S BLUE TAPE?

    I dig the new wheels/tires. Ride height needs to go up or down now.

    I dunno. I think the wheels should have more dish.

    Sounds like you've been attending the local Lotus Europa club meetings.

    Ventured out to take a few pictures today. Way too bright to take good ones, but a few came out ok, I think...

    I miss Gainesville, but after almost dying there on I-75 and a few other ways, I figure it's best I just visit there on Saturday afternoons in the Fall.

    Cool pics btw too.

    Lucky for you, apparently the only thing a Sawzall can't make stop existing is itself. I'll bring it Tuesday.

    Fixed it for you.

    Hard to go on a rampage with only 100' of extension cord.
