When i was about 16, a couple of guys I knew bought an old XB falcon from the wreckers. It was a heap of shit, but had a V8. Aussie car.
Anyway, they used to get pissed and drive it around the suburb where I grew up (ironically, it was known locally as Beauy).
Anyway, one day I was walking past with a couple of other mates and we and decided it might be fun to redecorate it. We went into toyworld and bought model paint and that spray on stuff to make you hair different colours.
It was ace. We put flames on it, and drips and splashes, and adorned it with tree branches. I even wrote cool shit on it like "smoke weed" and "TSP%". TSP% stood for The Stoned Percentage and it was some of my mates who used to get stoned and go tagging. I was never a member, but I used to wish I was and occasionally used to write it places.
After that, the police were called and the car got towed. The boys werent very happy and came to my house threatening to take to my kneecaps with a baseball bat. I was frightened and handed over 7 dollars to appease them.
One is now a cocaine addict. I was best man at the others wedding last year.
