Some want to improve their vehicles and make them look special or different. Mission accomplished!

Seems to be the thing the cool kids are doing. I took this picture myself last year as soon as I noticed it and my wife got close enough.

I think these graphics are super cool. Not my taste - but whenever I see someone being creative with their rides, I know they love cars - which probably translates to one less soul-less SUV on the road. I chalk that up as a win.

I think it means they want to be noticed. Doubt if they care about cars much. This just pertains to the overly graphic'd examples.

Exactly! It’s not like being in a Corvette that basically screams -“don’t look at me.”

First glance, no. Closer look and it grows on you if you let it. Not everything (or anything) in the car world is deadly serious business. Most of us could stand to take our sticks out of the mud. Even though I’m slowly morphing into my father, I have to fight it, have to. My daughter’s preschool years ago would encourage kids to “not say yuck to someone else’s yum.” It was a good rule for 4 year-olds and perhaps no less for we “adults.”
