Pinstripe Story
OK, so my car has pinstripes - it was my decision when I bought it, and I am actually quite happy with them. Hopefully, I can get someone to take a picture at the next autocross.
That isn't the story, though. My dealership was pretty cool and gave me the option (no cost). They told me that they were going to send their guy out to my place of work and do it. I waited a few days, he called, but then no pinstripes. I called my salesman, and he was quite surprised, as the detailer had a well-deserved reputation for reliability. He was sure that the detailer would have called if something had gone awry. A few more days passed, and I got a call back from my salesman. He asked. "Are you sure you don't have pinstripes?" I leaned out the window and checked one last time and said "Yes, I'm sure." He answereed "Well, someone does!" I asked around to see if anyone had noticed a set of pinstripes appearing suddenly on their civic. This elicited a lot of giggles but no answers from anyone else in the office building. I figure someone was visiting the dentist downstairs and when they finally noticed, figured they were always there.

The detailer came back out a few days later and did the right car (i.e. mine). The dealership was pretty scared that they had done this to someone's car that may or may not like it and they didn't know who to call to apologize.

Now that's some new shit. In some places you come out to find your car vandalized. Over there, you come out to find your car modded.
