La la, la la la la, la, la la la la

Before my brother went to Antartica, he scattered a few of his belongings amongst friends and family– a closet here, a garage there.  One friend kept his car safe.

Well.  He was supposed to keep it safe.

A couple of days before my brother cut his travels short to come home and help Dave and I during Dave’s surgery, we heard rumors that his formerly beautiful black Acura Integra:

was now blue.  . . not a beautiful sporty blue.  More like Smurf blue.  (For those young readers who, God forbid, don’t know what or who a Smurf is, please follow this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smurfs)

What is worse than having your car painted Smurf Blue you ask?

Having your car painted Smurf Blue, poorly.  As in, I have never painted a car in my life, but I think I will practice on your car.   Oh, and lets use a paint with a flat finish. . .that looks a lot like primer.

How about if we let your ex-wife pick the color.  And “help” with the painting.

They even documented everything by taking pictures before, during, and after their little project.

In case you think I am exaggerating:
