True, but TBH the first two people that I know that actually BOUGHT a Fiesta (ie people willing to put cash down and not talk just about it) were bought for their teenage daughters. One even bought a purse already to match her "Lime Squeeze" green car.

And that's where the big market is. Not to us gearheads, but to commuters and younger people. And if vinyl is what they want, what is wrong with that? Nobody has a gun to your head to buy it, and chances are that if some hot chick was driving a car with flowers on it it wouldn't stop you from checking her out.

So what's the big deal?

You're right - no big deal - and to be clear, I don't have any problem whatsoever with the idea of personalization, even including vinyl; and obviously by definition "personalization" is a matter of personal taste.

My comment was my take on the designs I saw when I clicked the link ... nothing there was even close to my idea of what a tasteful vehicle looks like. Obviously a matter of opinion.

In my opinion, some of those designs are copies of what I see on the bottom of my kids' plastic wading pool ... and flames on the side of the pickup were lame in the '60s - and I don't mind saying that if (more probably when) I see them on the street, I will think less of the owner for having spent their money on it no matter how hot she was.
