Tell us about yourself: “I’m a retired senior citizen, and a Newfie. That should explain it all.”
For some of us, customizing our vehicle means adding a bobble head figure or Hawaiian hula dancer on the dashboard. Maybe hang something from the rear-view mirror (fuzzy dice, anyone?), or slap on some kind of sticker on the rear window. While doing any of these is usually enough to satisfy the general population, others prefer to add physical enhancements to their vehicle’s exterior. Dave, on the other hand, raises the bar a few notches (or several, in this case) with his modified and wildly decorated Newfiemobile. It’s quirky and unique, with lots of interesting touches that demand a closer look.
Terrific project, Dave! Thanks for sharing it with us!
