Uh oh.
Middle American bros are not going to like this.

No comment on Johnny M or what the Uber rich do with their money.

But that is hands-down the ugliest Ford GT paint job I've ever seen.

That's a classic GT40 Gulf racing paint job from the late 60s.
Beautiful. Love it! I'd certainly rock it if I had that type of expendable cash.
Looks like his is a 2006. They did a heritage edition in 2019... absolutely gorgeous.

That’s the only paint a Ford GT should be… not sure what you mean here…

No, no. Make it stop. Put a car cover over it.

No arguments.

Nice! But, there is only one racing version of the VW Beetle...

 

[henderman]

guessing you'd have to either not be a car guy or have a collection that is even wilder than that car to get rid of an almost real gt40.

I saw that movie with my Dad... I think it was the only movie I saw with him as a kid. When we came out of the theater, a Herbie was there on display. I was very excited to see it!

That explains why he thought his JMod100 PRS amp was the answer to the world for an AFFORDABLE unicorn amp

Once you reach a certain level in the guitar world, you have to become a car guy. It’s the law.

I bet it’s a copy.

Do people take a car painting schemes that personally?

It's not like I insulted Lake Placid blue Stratocasters! (Although if you combine that color orange with a lake placid blue Stratocaster, I'm gonna have issues).

VW beetle chassis underneath?

Except it is the correct paint job for this model car, even if it is just a copy of a real Ford GT.
