I cannot resist the damn things, and now I have 6. One for my desk at work to sit next to the orange one, one for my son at home, and 4 to do fun stuff with. And since I have a bit of a thing for roof racks, I had to do one with a rack!

Anyway, here it is! I have not added the license plate yet, but I just wanted to take some pictures.

For the stripes, I went with a speckled/splattered look. I taped off the stripe and flicked paint against the car with my finger and brush. I'm glad it turned out pretty nice, I think.

If anyone has suggestions for the other three 1Ms, let me know!
