Ok, I just spent an entire hour custom painting this 2003 VW Beetle. The amount of customization controls are just amazing. I remember when the Nintendo 64 first came out there was a rally game (Top Gear Rally?) that had similar custom paint options, and I would spend hours on that just to add some sweet flames. Now Forza 2 comes along and blows it away, not to mention the ability to buy/sell cars through the auction house.

So that leads me into my 1 hour painting session to design Hello Kitty on a pink VW Bug. Am I a huge Hello Kitty fan. No. Honest. It was a total business decision -- yes, seriously. I needed to buy a VW car in-game for some races. I could have chosen a GTI or something equally fantastic, but decided to get a 2003 Beetle, soup it up and do a nice custom paint job so I could hopefully get somebody to buy it for a premium since I've put so much hard work into the design. Little did I know that probably 20% of all the bugs being auctioned are also adorned with Hello Kitty -- although I must admit mine does look a bit better than the competition.

Check out some photos of what I am calling the Scourge of Laguna Seca. If this baby doesn't sell in the auction house (starting price 10k -- not too bad!) then I am pulling it into multiplayer to destroy/embarass you other racers. Enjoy the photos. I need to get outside.

** Updates: It totally didn't sell for the $10,000 I wanted. Not sure, maybe people just aren't interested in VW bugs, or maybe there's not a whole lot of Hello Kitty fans using the auction feature - although I have seen other HK designs. Anyways, I posted it for $5,000 and somebody did buy it which still makes me happy to know that my design is out there driving around somewhere on someone's Xbox.
