| Giving your vehicle character |
14 Aug |
If a man’s home is his castle, a person’s car is their cruise ship. Taking you from place to place, sailing in and out of each port from your garage to the grocery store parking lot to picking up the kids at school to the soccer field and back again. You’re going to spend a lot of time in that machine and it’s important to make it yours.
To give your car character, begin with the outside. The ubiquitous and ever-popular timeless classic is, of course, the bumper sticker. This phenomenon first began on a grassroots level with those old favorites “Baby on Board” and “My Child is an Honor Student”, and have since developed into much more sporty, sassy, political, personal, religious, etc. themes. Basically, if you’ve got something to say, you can say it on your bumper.
Before we move to glamorizing the interior, don’t forget of course the other exterior decorations and auto accessories such as special “rims” for your tires, neon lights for your undercarriage, license plate holders, vanity license plates, and an old favorite…antenna balls.
Now for the interior of your car, there are a few oldies but goodies that any good car character-building owner won’t overlook. The first: fuzzy dice. Don’t skimp on the fuzzy dice; they are a requirement. Then move on to embroidered dashboard covers, lambskin seat covers, and a flaming steering wheel cover and now we’re putting some spice to the drive.
Top it all off with a hula-girl prominently displayed on the dash and you’ll be cruising in style.
