Is that your garage NSTG8R? What else you got in there?o_O


Don't I wish!! No...my garage looks like a tornado hit it..twice. The Ravenne Green car in the pic was just one of the best representations of the strange color I'm going to have to repaint my '73 to get her back to original [some people love it...some think it's the ugliest Porsche color ever].

The cars made today do not have much color. And most colors that do exist, are dull.

There's a white one, and a black one, and a gray one, and a silver one,
and their all made out of ticky tacky, and they all look just the same.

It reminds me of the old ticky tacky little boxes song.

That song always annoys me, the elitist sneering at common people buying what they could afford instead of what the snobs thought proper.

You don't even have a clue about the tune "Little Boxes", written by Malvina Reynolds- it was a political satire, from a politically left personality. Pete Seeger sang it early on, thinking mid '60's (of course if you remember the 60's you weren't there)
Well, X:XXVII, early up tomorrow, snack tonight, thinking Spicy Tempeh and Broccoli Rabe, with Rotelle.
(Broccoli Rabe is an acquired taste -bittersweet), VERY IMPORTANT,-trim and chop the stems coarsely. The fennel seeds add great flavor

The Pantone Color Institute has unveiled a new color: “Minion yellow.”

As the name suggests, the color was inspired by the bespectacled animated charactersfrom Universal Pictures’ and Illumination Entertainment’s “Despicable Me” franchise, and the upcoming spin-off film “Minions.” According to CNET, this is the first time in three years that Pantone has released a new hue.

Great paint is not cheap. ELIO is limited on what they can offer due to cost. Harley offers some amazing colors most of them are two coat paint jobs to make the color. Harley Chrome Yellow is a sharp color that would look great on an ELIO.
I am hoping the cream color is close to the Harley Orange in pictures it often looks like it.
