I'm a huge fan of greys so I naturally went for the orange/pink w/racoon paw prints. Alright not really, I went gunmetal.

murphy's law states contrary...see you washed/waxed your nice car..therefore the cats, and birds, in most cases will walk on, and **** on your ride
my 7 is very faded and has many lil dings and such..they won't touch my car..why would they bother? now when the summer comes and I get it nice again..well a bullseye will be painted on it by good ol murphy..that sob!
and cats paws are too readily available
I want the uniqueness of a 'raccoon's' (thanks spell check) paw prints..hell a badger would be fine too..or a weasel's..ferret's would be fine too..they are basically the North American weasel...psshhh 2 cups of coffee was a lil much tis morn'
