Speaking of music, I love Pink Floyd.  Pretty much everything from Rage Against the Machine to Donna Lewis is in my CD collection someplace - and I'll listen to any of it, but Pink Floyd is far and away my favorite.

So much, in fact, that I'm considering ... well, okay, first off my hood has scratches and dents in it.  They're all small, which is why if you look at the pic I posted awhile back, you'd never even notice them.  But, when you see it in person, well, they're ugly.  So, partly to cover them up, and partly because I'm such the fan I am, (and also mildly because I have a bit of an art school background), I'm considering putting a huge Dark Side of the Moon prism image (if you don't know what I mean, I'll post a picture of album cover) across my hood.

I mean, the car is, after all, black.

Uhh .. what'd'ya think?

Ok, in reference to above, here's what the album cover looks like for all you non-'Pink Floyd fans' ...



So, figure the white beam and the rainbow being emitted may not be at those exact angles, as I might adjust them to cover the most imperfections as possible.  I'd make the bulk of the design using electrical tape of different colors.

I think, if done well, it could look pretty cool.  I think I have the skill to complete this cleanly, and it would cover some dents while proudly showing off how much I love Floyd.

Of course, it may also be completely insane since the hood really doesn't look bad at all from a distance.  I asked a friend who's a huge Floyd fan and she's wondering why I havn't done it yet.  But I'm asking you people, as car fans, for input because - well - music happened to come up.

If your that into the band to plaster the hood of your car with one of there album covers, go for it (I would just goto a junk yard and get another hood though, if it's that bad). I should just fore warn you though, that to people who don't know that it is in reference to Pink Floyd, a triangle and a rainbow represent a totally different thing, if you get what I'm saying.

I thought about that.  I'm hoping it's a recognizable enough symbol, but I have considered the possibility it isn't.  And, I know what else that's frequently associated with.

I can't find a new one in a junkyard, by the way.

When you open the album, the green light in the rainbow does a cool heart-beat meter thing.  I was also thinking of trying to do that with the green stripe.  It might make it look a little different from that other rainbow symbol.  When all else fails though, a nice little 'Pink Floyd' sticker might just get the job done.

Something like, oh I dunno, this...

I'm into almost any kind of music when I'm on the road.

But if I'm taking a good cruise, Tom Petty is the only way to go. &nbsp;I hook up his greatest hits disc and roll.

&quot;Cause, I'm Freeeeeeeeee, Free Faaaaalleeen!&quot;

Ok, I just looked at my hood and tried to envision a Floydian design on it. &nbsp;I gotta say, uhm, yeah - that's not gonna work. &nbsp;I mentioned the idea to Liz, as I said above, and she pushed for the idea. &nbsp;But I think the bottom line is that she's a bigger music fan than I am a car fan. &nbsp;I could never do that to a 240. &nbsp;Shame on me.

Krunko, you have good taste! I've heard of all but Zao and Chevelle for rock and I've heard most of the emo stuff too. ...Been going to POD shows since they released brown and were playing in churches with like 30 people, personally I liked their sound better back then but *shrugs* oh well, they still rock. Heh, I didn't know anybody else had heard of reggie and the full effect, they are pretty weird but cool. I saw GRITS once, they were cool I guess but man, i really don't like hip-hop

dude, that's awesome...I'm putting out a music compilation with a lot of those bands on it. &nbsp;doing it to raise money for a music venue/hostil/refuge type place. &nbsp;Where is it you're located? &nbsp;I'm from central FL (orlando, melbourne), but live in Tulsa, OK where I animated 3D nazis for a living....i'm planning on getting to SoCal sometime....

Music for cruising. Well can depend on my mood. I like rap, techno, some euro, some greek, but it needs to have a uptempo and be a fast beat, and a little aggressive. NewsBoys, DC Talk, Rebecca St. James, Omega Vibes, Dr. Dre, Bon Jovi ect...

HAH, got you all beat <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> I listen to pretty much everthing from Brooks n Dunn to Rage Against the Machine. Don't like pop, or much rap or techno.

Some bands (in no particular order): Clint Black, Disturbed, POD, RATM, CHILI PEPPERS!!!!, Alien Ant Farm, Collective Soul, J-5, Toby Keith, Darrel Whorley, Cake, Godsmack, Depeche Mode, Guns n Roses, Alice in Chains, Tool, Gorrilaz, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, lookin forward to the new CD from Incubus, Outkast, Travis Tritt, Creed, The Artist Known Again As Prince, ACDC, 3 Doors Down, Tom Petty, 'Tallica, Tim McGraw, Linkin and Limp Bizkit and the list goes on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Classical doesn't quit hit it when I'm driving, I leave that for home. I feel so inadequate though with my mere 1.5 gigs of mp3s and couple dozen CDs. . .

I don't quite get what everybody has against Country. Most I've spoken with about it have rarely, if ever, heard a full country song. I can always find a country song appropriate to my mood, be it angry, sad, happy, or just driving. . .

Never did I think I'd see Rebecca St. James and Dr. Dre in the same sentence.
