I think I wouldn't be caught dead riding in the passenger seat. Might be good work, but TERRIBLE scheme

If you read the add it says the paint is only 3 weeks old. I would try and sell my car if it looked like that too.

Not too bad. I'm not all for the paint scheme, but hey it doesn't look that bad. The ground effects are kinda out there, tho, but the front clip as a whole... front ground effects and hood, both are pretty cool. Worst part is that it's almost brandnew paint and he's already got a good scratch along the back bumper:

I don't think that's a scratch. I think it says "Formula 1", like on the side skirts.
