Wow... I didn't expect a whole thread to develop from this. This is great.

Curious, what would be a good thing to do with a cavalier, besides the usual give it shiny rims, at some form of graphic, tint the windows (*sigh* I have never seen the point besides preventing the sun from doing too much, and maybe a neat effect.), etc...

OK, here's a cool (and reversible) mod for you: Fur. Get a gallon of molasses (or corn syrup) and 20 pounds of goat hair, paint the metal with the syrup and sprinkle on the goat hair carefully. When you get tired of it, just wash it off with a hose. Keep it out of the rain until then!

Alternative: Use "annual" grass seed instead, mist with water until it sprouts (3-5 days), then drive around town. It'll last more than a week.

DUDE! I'm sooo going to do that with my truck! It's a rusted piece of junk. I was going to spray paint it orange. Here's a cheaper solution.


QUESTION: How long would it last if I were going about 85 MPH down the interstate, late for work?

A bit of the fur will fall off at 85, but most of it will stick, and good. the best part is that it comes off with water when you want it to.

Of course, you can get some epoxy resin from a boat store and make it permanent, but I don't advise that, when the goat hair gets wet... well, let me put it this way: Ever smell a wet goat?

I was thinking of doing the grass idea because there definitely is nowhere around that I can get goat hair. I don't want to run the risk of getting sick over a stinky goat truck anyways.

A chia pet cavalier... riiiiiiigggggghhhhhtttttt. '_'

The funny thing about the goat hair idea: there is a farm not too far away from home from where I can get the fur. I just wouldn't want to deal with the molasses. ^_^
