My car is in a parade right now, with someone else driving, as a matter of fact!

A buddy of mine has a 18 year old son with Downs Syndrome and I just found out about a month ago that the kid is a HUGE Blues Brothers fan. I was invited to a local 4th of July parade, but had already made other plans, so I asked my friend if he'd like to take his son to do the parade with my car... Of course he jumped on the opportunity!!!

I've also loaned it out to other folks for parades & charity events. That's what these cars are all about man!!! Bringing people together!

Mine is painted flat black and I've never washed it in the 7 years of driving it (as my daily driver, but that's a whole other story) so if anyone gets a handprint on it, or it gets scratched.... oh well!!! Makes it look MORE like the movie car!!!

If it was an appropriate venue, like a charity event for instance, I'd be willing to do the same.
