Richard Bartrop Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Model cars have long been used as a way to explore ideas for customizing full sized autos, but who knew that when you were a little too impatient, and left a big thumb print in a freshly painted hood, you were in fact exploring the cutting edge of automotive style? For a no doubt modest fee, the good people at Porsche AG, will custom print your fingerprint right onto the hood of your brand new 911. More details here https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2020/products/porsche-exclusive-manufaktur-innovative-printing-method-body-paintwork-fingerprint-911-19997.html How soon before we see FCA respond with a Challenger Hellcat Gluebomb Edition?

Me too, I had a big fly land right in some fresh paint. He got stuck pretty bad, so I waited until he was dead and sanded him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a cartoon in MAD magazine years ago, where a guy on a construction site swatted a fly that landed on a blueprint. When you flipped the page, there was a full-page picture of the completed skyscraper, with a huge fly splattered across it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Is that called, "Engineering on the fly"? Okay...I'll get me 'at and coat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
