Worring about whether someone else would want your car later is pointless. It's like keeping your girlfriend a virgin for her next boyfriend.

I buy/build my cars for me, not someone else, and I've STILL never had a problem selling them later if need be. That being said, I've seen a LOT of chalkboard painted cars, so obviously there's a calling for it.

I am sure this provides an adrenaline rush, but I can't help but think these guys have a death wish. I get scared visualizing them hitting a bump and going tumbling all over the pavement.

In the summer, the ones who wear a helmet, a pair of shorts, and a pair of tennis shoes.... I cringe imagining what would happen if they were in an accident.
My state does not have a helmet law. In the summer, I REGULARLY see motorcycle riders wearing shorts, t-shirts, sandals and nothing else. If they ever got in even a minor accident, they would lose half their skin.

The people I think are dumbest are the ones who lower their cars so much they can't go over speed bumps. There's a lowered ricer car in my apartment complex that obviously had an up close and personal encounter with one of the raised curbs around the parking lot because the front lip is all bashed in.

Dumbest thing I've ever seen personally was the lady doing a crossword puzzle on the steering wheel driving down the freeway at 60+ MPH in heavy traffic. This was back in the mid-90s.
