Ok, here's my cosmopolitan story:

There was a seattle area dot-com guy that had his Dodge Viper given a flame-job by a popular creator of hawiian mall art. Cost $150k or something silly. Dot-com company went bust and his net worth tanked, had to sell the car. I am in the store when Cosmopolitan was negotiating: "Yeah... please don't take this personally... yeah... but most people that want dodge vipers don't want dolphins on the hood. Yeah.. yeah.. I know.. yeah... but thats just how the market is..."

Ended up offering him the price of a new viper MINUS the cost of a new paint job.

A few months later I saw the car in the window at cosmopolitan. NICE flames, best I've ever seen - they looked real from some angles. Patch of blue with dolphins looked kinda strange.

Looked it up and found the car!

$170,000 Meteorite Viper by Christian Lassen

Those poor dolphins, eyes twinkling in the sunset, surrounded by realistic flames. Too bad they're not evil black flame dolphins being chased by X-Wings.
