You're not a real car guy unless you've done this. You win at cars if it was a permanent repair.

Still sort of unsure how I feel about that truck. What is worse, intentionally sanding down and weathering your new-ish car to make it look fit the hood ride scene? Or a vinyl wrap to make it look old and worn?
I kind of like the visor and wood frames on the bed though. I think they would look better on a truck without the wrap and different wheels

Hence some of them crashing and the rest being scrapped. They also had limited range, but that was part of the fun. You would hop from San Fran to a series of tiny islands on your way to Japan. Each had a 5-Star hotel where you would stay and continue to receive white-glove service.
