What a set of Wheels

While pulling out of the parking lot from the AVP tourney in downtown Atlanta I saw this car pass in front of me. What immediately caught my eye were the wheels. There, on each wheel was the iconic Atlanta "A", the monogram of the city, the logo of the Atlanta Braves. Yet it wasn't spinning around! These were those spinner wheels found on urban mobiles with at twist. As the car rolled by all you saw was the big Atlanta "A". Hmmmm.Now, I'm not a fan of the typical hip-hop urban car, too much chrome on the wheels, too much bass shaking the windows near by. But I have to admit that something about this car kinda said class. Then when we pulled out and came up beside it I got another surprise. Airbrushed into the body of the car, under a nice clear coat were the people and sites and landmarks of urban Atlanta. Here's a closer shot. If you look closely you can see MLK, Spellman College, Six Flags, Auburn Ave. You know, someone did a really nice job on this. Not what I'd drive around in, but hey, this wasn't bad at all.
