Ever regret fixing up a basher?

Post by v137a »

I have this Pro-pulse B100 that I basically got to destroy. A few of us get together, set up the ramps in a parking lot, and see who can get the highest air, the longest cartwheel, the most impressive top-down thwack - you get the idea.

This week I picked up a few parts to replace things I've broken, bought some rims and tires, and decided to paint the green shell, which means the painting the outside.

I gave it a black undercoat with a red rattlecan fade, and it turned out nice. Dug out the window sticker pack to finally put them on, and saw that the side stickers do a red-to-black fade as well, so I popped them on.

Stepped back to look at it, and had a heart-clenching moment where it was just too pretty to bash.

A couple of pics because it's nice, but not awesome:

I think I'm going to have to drop the Mamba out of my MLST into it and jump it off something stupid just to teach it a lesson. :-D

that thing is nice... you should still jump it and stuff because you could always make it look nice again. :-o :-o

There is no such thing as too pretty to bash.
