Someone should study the phenomenon of people painting bumblebee stripes on cars that never had them. Not Imperials, Plymouths or Mustangs; for that idiocy is plainly obvious.
I'm talking about painting a vertical line, 90 degrees from the pavement, even if subject vehicle has a ever-so-prominent feature (like a chrome bumper) that runs at a forward angle. Any sane person would at least follow this with a parallel line. And were there a lot of muscle-era Dodges that placed the stripe 12-18" away from the end of the car? Because most of the original examples I've seen are pretty damn close to the end of said car.
The reason I'm asking for the study is because I'm pretty sure these folk are responsible for a lot of societal ills. Like reality shows or McRib sandwiches.
