What would look good on a car?

My dad and I have a primed El Camino (we rebuilt it). Pretty much this without the chrome (this is stock):

I just read on Sankaku about the whole car fleet that have anime characters on them, and thought "Well, I have a bare canvas to work with."
So, any ideas for what to draw on it?
Keep in mind, this is a barely street legal car that puts out roughly 575 H.P. and 630 torque. (Yes, I rebuilt the motor too. :roll: )
Also, I'm not that great of an artist, but, I know how to do it decently, so try not to be like "The whole cast of X."

I've been thinking making it Madoka - Madoka sitting on hood, petting QB, doors each have the blue / red haired chicks, tailgate will be Homura, and the roof will be....dunno. Just thinking about it. (That will take me at least a year to do, but it would be sooo epic.) :lol:

I didn't know where to put a topic about a car, since it's part of my culture, I thought of the culture section. :? We need a Sports/Automobile section.

Hmm.....I like the Kyubey face. The "Pedobear Inside" I should make into a stamp and put it (pretty small) on the doors. Trollface is a bit too much....unless I made Homu's face a trollface and then whenever I raced someone laughed at their "What's that?" :roll:

I'm not going to put Pedobear on the hood. :lol:

Rpapo, can you explain yours?

I'm going to get killed if I get caught starting to paint these things. Maybe I should make the left rear quarter panel say "You are not alone..." and the right one say "As long as you remember her..." or just hand right the entire quote in the bed of it. Decisions decisions. Now to convince my dad to give me the car.

I was joking, completely. The kanji were "Honda", of which we own three, all over twenty years old. Not really appropriate for an El Camino.

How do you spell Toyota then? 风田?

Oddly, they use katakana in the company name: トヨタ自動車株式会社

Update: In China, they use "丰田", which happens to be the way the Toyoda family name is written.

Oh damn. 丰 and 风 are homophones, so I chose the most common one. :D

Ah, I figured it was a car company, I went and checked my Infiniti (Nissan) and nothing that looked like that came up, so I searched Toyota, completely forgot about Honda. :lol:

Assassin....I think you want the "Daily Achievement" thread.

What is Chevrolet in Japan? (If they even exist there.)

Would be something like 雪弗莱 in Chinese...though I think it should be something like ...シェヴォェツ?

シェヴォェツ
Shèvoetts? ;)


Actually, it seems to be "シボレー" (Shiboree [spoken as "é"]) according to Wikipedia — much simpler than I expected, considering the tongue twisters they have as Anglicisms in their vocabulary.
