Is this still a site for car enthusiasts? I sorta liked it when it was.
Question of the Day: Who or What Would You Airbrush On Your Van?
Written By: Seyth Miersma
Inspired by the van according to Dale, we couldn’t resist asking a question of the day about the art of van-based airbrush painting. If you were lucky enough to be in a position to decide, who or what would you have muralized on the side of your ride? Give us your most tribute worthy subject, in comments.

I would do a mural OF the side of my van ON the side of my van… so it would seem to go on forever…
Either that, or I’d not own a van.

Jerry Seinfeld rolling his Fiat BTM.

I do have to say, this is a good question of the day, it made me laugh! I don’t know what I’d paint on the side of my van, but keeping with the 80’s theme, maybe some Autobots and Decepticons. Yeah, thats it, maybe throw in a GI Joe as well, yeah…

Giant testicles, and I’d drive it to Florida. =P

i would draw myself having sex with mary carey.
mo April 30th, 2008 9:27 PM Link
BTW, what kind of questions is that.
mo April 30th, 2008 9:28 PM Link
or even better, i would put a plasma tv (instead of drawing) on the side of the van and play the entire sex scene.

Stupid stupid stupid Question. Here is a better one: “What is a Fiat BTM?”
Brett April 30th, 2008 9:59 PM Link
Who is Mary Carey?
Brett April 30th, 2008 10:01 PM Link
BTW, I is capitalised, not i!
mo April 30th, 2008 10:03 PM Link
@ brett, use google search to know who is mary carey.
Brett April 30th, 2008 10:16 PM Link
Spelling is also a problem for you, apparently.

A little nonsense question for levity never hurt anyone. How about an easy rider mural that is ultra patriotic with stripes and an eagles head to mimic the easy rider motorcycles paint job.
mo April 30th, 2008 10:29 PM Link
nope, this is exactly how you write it “mary carey”.
mo April 30th, 2008 10:29 PM Link
don’t bother the spelling just copy and paste.

I would airbruah large letters that say “MURAL”

Can’t do the van thing…

Nothing at all. When you have something painted on the side of your van, odds are you either have rather bad taste or your van has been tagged.

mo - A blonde plumper of a porn star won’t impress too many people… Although it would be original and very popular in the Nascar belt of the nation… But I’d have to go with the whole Transformers idea. That would be great. Or get an old beater van and spray paint “Free Candy” on the side.

That’s pretty much the pimpest shite, ever.
I think I would airbrush the scene where an alien is bursting out of someone’s chest.

I’d paint it to look like the old A-Team van with that diagonal red stripe and non-functional rear wing. Then airbrush presidential candidate Barack Obama on the side with beard and mohawk like the Mr. T’s character B.A. Barracus. and a tagline that says “honk if we should all just move to Canada!” If that’s not trippy enough add plasma TV from above with said movie scene playing.

The only way I could get into the whole van thing is if it had Supervan 3 painted down the side.

Man Love Rules OK
Country and Western Suck
Hillary For President
and drive to Alabama

Ok … enough is enough. It is time for the stupid question of the day to stop. Give it up. It’s time to grow up and get back to the car business. Does Davis ever read this site?

- “it puts the lotion in the basket, or it get’s the hose”.
Paint it with red paint, with my fingers, so that it looks like blood.
