Money, taste, blah blah blah
Chris Brown wraps his Lamborghini like a WWII fighter Justin Hyde — This shot of Chris Brown's Lamborghini Gallardo vinyl-wrapped in a World War II fighter theme caught by Celebrity Cars just sparks so many questions. Like: Do those plus signs count how many women he's fought in it? Add yours below.

UPDATE Our original information was off — this isn't vinyl, but a detailed airbrush paint job. Color us impressed.

===================
===================

Of course there is a beautifully ignorant irony of putting this paint job on an Italian-made car owned by a German conglomerate...

1. Ordinarily I would lament the ruination of a beautiful car
but that actually looks pretty cool. I imagine I would like it for about 15 minutes, then want to have it changed back to all black.

3. No doubt the craftsmanship and quality are top-notch
and Brown was probably charged accordingly (I'd estimate between $10-15 grand at some elite SoCal boutique that caters to celebs)

But the tackiness quotient is off the radar...

2. yellow shirt, black sox and green shoes?
what is that guy? three years old? if that is the owner of the car (I have no idea who chris brown is) then all I can say is: douchebag! (well even if that isn't the owner, the clothes still say douchebag)

4. I was just about to type "Douchebag" when I saw your post.
Isn't this the guy who beat up Rihanna??

He is a bigger douchebag than his car would indicate...

6. The "plus signs" are German Iron Crosses, designating the number of Nazi aircraft
he's "shot down". Same with the two Japanese flags.

Pretty neat, to have been able to fight in both theatres. Must have cost a pretty penny to drive across the country to do so.

7. I noticed that as well
must have been one of our secret 'extended range' fighters...

8. In high school, some buddies and I went to see "Tora, Tora, Tora" (a movie about Pearl Harbor)...
.
.
.
...and (shades of John Belushi in "Animal House"), we all pointedly ignored and distanced
ourselves from our friend Bobby -- who had blurted out (in a voice that could be heard
all through the theater), "When do the Germans get there?!?!?!?"
.
.
.
.
.
Poor... poor Bobby.
.
.
.
.
.
He did WAY too many hallucinogenics at WAY too early an age.

10. Too much style, all at once
Silly paint job on the car, and then texting while walking while wearing a Michigan shirt and lime green shoes with black socks.

All that style is making my eyes hurt.

:hi:
