Default Bad things happen to good cars in Louisville, KY

Saw this at the local Jag dealer, Beav might know the owners. But I found it pretty amazing what people will do to their rides!

That's a Jag? It looks like a Buick.

No idea who the owner is but I'll guarantee the tech assigned to work on it is wondering who he ticked off.

BTW, you should have seen the cars kept in stock at Miam, Fla. Lincoln-Mercury dealers in the '70s.

I agree, that shade of red just doesn't go with the blue. Wonder why they did it?

I am from Louisville and my guess whoever had the car painted cannot decide whether they are University of Kentucky or University of Louisville fans. Kentucky colors or blue and white and Louisvilles are red and black.
My dad was a big U of K fan and I asked him why he drove a pickup that was U of L's colors, red and black. He said his truck was not red and black, but black and red. I go for U of K myself. I don't mind U of L, but its their fans who are obnoxious. They would problably say the same thing about U of K fans, but they are wrong.

You know what a U of L grad says to a U of K grad.

Would you like fries with that?

I can't wait for college basketball to start back up. Go big blue.

The red car got wrecked so they found a blue parts car. Roll over I suppose.

Not that it matters the red is actually orange metallic. Yes blue and orange are complimentary colors, but not on this car. They do not compliment any thing. Must be a Florida Gator fan. Gatornation in Louisville KY.
