The sickest getaway car ever?

My sister in-law (bride) and her fiancé (groom), who is now technically my brother in-law, got married yesterday. They had a buddy with a 1960s Caddy all lined up to drive them off after the wedding, but the plans fell through. Well I talked to the groom on Friday while I was washing my car, and out of the clear blue sky we started talking about the getaway car situation for his wedding. It was during this conversation that I learned that the Caddy plans were no longer. The groom drives a tricked-out VW GTI (it's a special trim line, too, but I forgot the designation), which is nice, but let's face it, is not anywhere near the class of a TL, nor is it a good candidate for a getaway car, as it's only a two-seater. Up until Friday, he had planned on drving off himself. I wouldn't have any of this, so I offered up my own car:

AZ Courtroom:

Attorney -
"Your Honor, I would like to draw attention to the fact that my client's testimony did not state that he LIKED the look of the aforementioned automobile, but merely that he thought it looked good."

Judge - "Very well, the jury will strike that last remark from the record. Proceed."

Hahahahahahahaha! Just kidding bro!

You can REALLY see the pearl in that pic.

I'm surprised you weren't freaking out over the writing on the windows......lol. (Although I did notice that's all they did)....

I think they knew better than to do much else. But as it was, it actually came out really nicely. Washing the stuff off wasn't too bad either, so it was a nice win-win situation.

I got a lot of compliments that day on my ride!

It's a special window marker that's just for this occasion, but believe me I know what you mean. I've never let anyone do this before. I guess there are exceptions to be made sometimes. Also, they only applied it to the windows, thank God!
