    being a newbie i figured i could get away with this here, lol!! :evil:

    you know how some people say that the Prius is ugly and boxy-looking. well, i personally really like the way it looks. although i do think the color choices are a bit limited....

    and i have a secret fantasy about what i'd like to do to my Prius....

    you know that REALLY EXPENSIVE paint job that changes to about 6 different colors as you move around the car? i don't know what it's called, but you usually see a few at car shows. if i had a couple grand to throw around i'd have my Prius done in the paint. how cool would that be !!!!!
    :cheer2:

    That's a color-shift paint job. I think it would be great.

    Me, I'd like a tie-dyed Prius.

    I'd like one with electrostatic paint that repels water, dirt, and fingerprints. :rolleyes:

    I believe you are referring to iridescent paint and I don't think you'd get very far on $2000. Here is a link for a Mustang:




    The narrator said $15000 for the paint job.

    Me, I'd like to have my Prius all decked out like a Star Trek shuttlecraft, with markings on the seats, and blue lights underneath and . . .

    Oh.

    Nevermind.

    Well, it was my fantasy.
