Still Working On The Car, Still Full Of Doubts, Even Though It Looks Awesome

My car looks amazing. So far, the reaction I get the most is "isn't that super-heavy, won't it wreck your mileage?" It's true that gluing 250-300 pounds of glass stones to my car will hurt my mileage to some (probably not small) degree, and making my car less efficient isn't the smartest thing a person with no income can do, but I'm just not going to worry about that right now. Did I mention it looks fucking amazing? Lots of cars out there in the world have 300 pound people driving them every day, my 300 pounds is evenly distributed around the outside!
My dad, bless his heart, asks "what happens when you take the stones off?" The stones are never coming off Dad, ever! "What about the resale value?" Dad! I'm never selling this car! "Won't it attract vandals?" AAAAARRRRGG! DAD! What are they gonna do?

Another person questioned the legality of it. If I'm breaking any laws by having a very shiny and possibly distracting car, it's kind of too late now. So far, few drivers or pedestrians seem to even notice it. It's a big hit at the gas station, though!

I'm still afraid the art car folks will think it's dumb, and say I'm an idiot for putting such heavy stuff on a small car. We'll see this weekend..
