Fellow fiends:
Not to drive this idea into the ground, but... a member of my local car
guy support group just came out strongly against stripes. His argument is a
clever one: I have the early disk wheels on the B (let's talk subtle and
ironic!) and he feels they project a conservative image. He says stripes
project an agressive image. The presence of both disk wheels and stripes on
one car would add up to a mixed message. Is this guy cool and sporty or is
he a chartered accountant? Worse yet: is he a chartered accountant trying
to be cool? No, my friend says, I'd need wires before I could stripe. I
ain't putting wires on this car. I can tell you that.
