Because when I open a bag of Combos, I tell myself "You know, these taste good, but I bet they would taste better if they were coated in diamond-plated metal."

Does Lionel make diecasts replicas for NASCAR now or something?

Apparently.

I kinda like it to be honest.

Can someone please bring back a sense of good taste?

The grey itself is fine to me, but I think it would look better without the diamond plate texture (makes no sense) and have less of it overall on the front and back. The sides seem to have a good level of it.

Plain white to match the logo would be a more realistic option though.

I was thinkin that too. If ya take the "diamond plate" off and just leave that color, it would look even better.

I guess Gibbs employs more than 1 livery designer. Not a chance that the guy who produced Kyle Buschs cars also produced this simplistic beauty.

That was probably more of a Home Depot choice than anything, as they felt it provides the best brand identity on the race track. As for the diamond plating, I think I heard it's actually Kyle's preference.

Well that would explain a lot then...

Anyone else think it's cool to see how the the COT has developed over the course of just this year? It started as this ugly box with a "ricer" wing and this shitty splitter, and it's finally turned into somthing that resembles a stock car and actually looks pretty good (imo).

Yeah.

Gonna sound like I'm never satisfied, but it still has a long way to go.

Hopefully NASCAR keeps going the right direction with the cars and doesn't fuck them up.

Diamond plating on a racecar is the equivalent of a barbed-wire tatoo on someone's arm - Commercialized self-proclaimed bad-assery that nobody else gives an iota of a fuck about.

Apparently a Skittles / Starburst car for Kyle with a flame paint job could be in the cards for 2011.

Of course it's flames. Not like they could produce something original, good looking and appropriate for the sponsor like this:



Why do that when you can put shitty flames or diamond plating on it?
