Candy Caine (Santa's Sled)

Post by **CaboWabo** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 1:32 am

Let me tell ya, the idea was totally gay sounding but my wife talked me into it, plus bitPimps 2nd Annual Years End Custom Blow-Out fits right in with the Christmas schedule.

So here it is.

Santa's sled is all pimped out with Christmas colors.

Metallic red, candy apple green, and white.

Shit yea the lights are on it still and work. lol

Santa's gotta have lights when goes into the ghetto late at night lookin' to score.

If he had to run from the coppers though, he's got the juice.

He's also got the booze and the Caine.

Here's what it started from. Notice all those nasty ass molding lines I'm always complaining about. They're gone now and I'm happy.

My happiness didn't last too long though as just after I got done taking pictures, I dropped the entire car in water!
Yup, water. So I quickly tried to dry it off, hard to reach places were still wet.
I bust out the can of compressed air and start to try and force the water out. The can was brand new and instead sprayed a nice super cold stream of shit all over my car, which ate away at the clear coat and cracked the windows.
And my car doesn't work at all anymore.

Merry fuckin Christmas.

Damn Cabo, you must be jinxed. That sucks.

Well at least you tried to have some Christmas spirit. Maybe another bottle of the tekillya will help get that Christmas spirit back.

Nice paintjob.

So nice in fact, you could use that shell TWICE a year...Xmas and the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

thanks guys.

the pics aren't really doing this thing justice at all.
the pics make the metallic red look orange to me - or at least super bright red - but it's not.
the green isn't that light either.

whatever, it's par for the course - I am jinxed. Next time I go to try a dual cell, the damn car will probably blow up in my face.

i understand what you mean about the pics. they just don't show the metalic red well. any chance that a light sand and more clear can bring it back to life?

I dunno, probably a 50/50 chance - but at this point I'm so pissed it's a miracle it even still exists.
I almost threw it, my wife pulled a matrix move and snatched from my hand in mid-toss.
I threatened to melt it all to a pile of goo, she put it away.

I dunno, one side of me says yea, it can be saved (paint job).
the other side of me says nope, it's a complete hunk of dook.
the chassis, probably not. I don't know enough about the electronics to fix shit even though it just got a slight dunking. I could never solder that small to fix small assed wires on a small assed board. you've heard payaso making fun of me and my shakey ass grandpa getting the last pickle out of a pickle jar hands.

damn cabo, it must be the month of bad luck! i fucked up my camaros paint on its roof as well!

Damn dude! Nice work. Sorry about your luck.

If it makes you feel better, I recently dropped a clock on the floor after I had just put a coat of fresh paint on it. I got this clock from a drug company. Drug reps are constantly giving this stuff away at my work place. It's just stuff to remind you to buy their stuff. Anyways, I got this clock. Good looking clock, but it had the drug name in big letters all over it. So I took it apart, primed it, did a little wet sanding, and spray painted it a nice looking sky blue. Right after that, I dropped it face first on the carpet. What a freakin mess right! Not only did I have to repaint the clock, but I had to clean the floor too. The clock still has some small marks that I never got smooth. Nobody else will notice, but I notice and it pisses me off.
