    A good looking race car and $4.00 will get you a Small Starbucks Coffee.

    King I think what Mr. One Liner wanted to say was paint jobs don't win races. Having said that here is my pics.

    Teams that always have nice looking cars are
    Woz
    Taylor
    Goodwin
    Jones
    Miner
    Bybee
    Howard
    The list is endless. I personally think the Etterman car is very attractive because of its nice SIMPLE AND CLEAN look. Hell I guess that make me a fan doesn't it?

    Gerry, I think Mark's car from 97-98 sticks out as one of the Most awesome cars ever!

    In '99 or '00 Pat Austin came to Dallas with a flat black body lettered in white. Coolist thing I ever saw. It just looked mean. Jimmy Jones also has an awsome looking car.

    Woz has always had cars with class and simplistic color. Especially the "green car."
    I am partial to the old Steve Sommer cars. Classic, timeless, colorful and well kept.

    This pick goes back a few years but the Tom Akers' owned "Wizard" TAFC's were nice looking cars. Also, Larry Adleman's candy apple red TAFC's from the late 70's and early 80's were clean and simple but awesome looking. Terry Mullins had some nice cars also.
    I will have to get out the old scrapbook and post a few more. The alky classes have always had alot of good looking cars. One of my favorites from the late 70's and early 80's was the "Darth Vega" car run by Lee Zeinert - he had one of those swoopy '77 Vega bodies (made famous by Ken Veney) with Darth Vader's helmet painted on the side of it. This pick doesn't count because it was a nitro car, but Larry Coogle's "The Sting" Trans Am F/C from '80 or '81 was also a great looking car.

    I doubt if many people ever saw the green one since it only made it to 2 races. So here is a picture.

    The Evil,Wicked,Mean & Nasty car was pretty bitchin' in it's day. Also, Duane Shields always has a nice paint job on his digger. And you gotta agree with the Woz, always an awesome sight.

    (only because we copied the paint scheme, I sent you a copy of it a few weeks ago after we talked on the phone about tubes)
