Post $150,000 paint job???

Hey, if I spend this much on a paint job I wouldn't be advertising it.

Sure you can recoup your investment ... NOT!

See what I'm talking about at:

Viper with $150K paint on eBay

Not to mention that I wouldn't be letting some skank slide her arse around on my six figure paint job, either...

Didn't he know that changing the color of a car always *decreases* its value? : )
But really, like anyone will pay that for a Viper.

He should change his name(ebay ID) from the
REMSTER to the REAMSTER. He took one in the Arss when he got that paintjob now he wants to pass it on.
Reminds me of the boogie vans in the 70's!!

Not only did he get ripped off from the cost of the paint job but sounds like too much for the cost of the car also.

In all fairness, you have to look at this from the perspective that the guy who painted the car is "famous".

Now, I wouldn't pay $5 for any artwork by him - I don't know art but I know what I like (not that).

I have seen a car with the hood painted by him in a shop with a bunch of other artwork by him in, I think, Caesers Palace.

I mean it isn't my bag, for sure. The guy is the cheesiest thing EVER (I did, after all, see the shop in Vegas!!!)...

http://www.lassenart.com/flash.html

- click on "The Art" and "Exotic Cars and Bikes" - there it is.

Remember, I am not condoning it, but to people who do view him as an "artist", this may be a fair price.

Haha, I just kept searching and found the "gallery" I went to - I was right, it is Caesers... I saw that Diablo and shed a tear

http://www.lassenlasvegas.com/

I would like to add that he appears to be against wearing a shirt - it must be even warmer than I thought in Hawaii.

Showed the pics to Cindy. She says that even if they followed me home, I couldn't keep them.

If Picasso took a crap on a piece of paper....it would still be just a pile of sh**.

I saw this car near my home in Bellevue when the owner was considering Stonguarding the painting so that it couldn't be chipped. It looked gaudy then, even without the girls. Unfortunately, many exotic cars have been modified in poor taste here in Microsoft country. The phrase "Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should" seems to have been lost on many here. Guess he needs some money now or just grew tired of worrying about driving it.

Randy are you sure what you saw was "the original" or could it have been a copy?

It was the same Lassen painted Viper, without a doubt. I'd hate to think there's another one out there!

Chris Lassen is a Child Molester a young fella I knew when I lived on Molokai told me that Lassen befreind him while he was surfing Breakwall in Lahina the young man had gone over on the mornig ferry from Molokai to spend the day surfing on Maui. Lassen offerd him lunch at his house ,the young fella thought wow this is cool a famous guy is offering lunch and went with him to his house.Without going in to details Lassen made a pass at him. I have NO reason to not belive him when he told me what happened. Steve
