History
I bought my car for $100. It had the engine sold from it a month before I got it. The previous had “slammed” it and had poorly painted teal scallops on the front hood and doors. Everyone that saw my car thought the scallops were really cool. I hated them! I even had a cop pull me over to tell me how much he liked my scallops. As soon as I had a chance I took her in for cheap Maaco job. I had them match the color under the dash.
