   For some reason it wasn’t credited on that Tumblr site, but Plug 1 took this outside my studio.

       thanks, Kat. for the record, MM has always been supportive and on the level with my images. i think KevMo posted one of mine earlier today even.

       i have an email out to that blogger to get to the bottom of this, the crime of the century.

       i will avenge this blatant thief, and justice will be served!!

   Is that really a freemason logo or an altered one? It looks slightly altered, tho, I must admit only a passing familiarity with what the logo actually looks like.
   Would be extra hippie-licious if it were an altered one…

     Guess I should have looked at the original size on flickr before that last comment. It sure is a freemason symbol, the background is just chipped a bit. My guess is that it’s been on there for quite a few years – perhaps attached by the original owner. Not that it really matters.

   I just like seeing a waxed, spiffy vegan benz, instead of one that looks like a trustafarian rat’s nest. Please note however that my car looks like a trustafarian rat’s nest.

   I fucking love this car. And the title of this post. Good work today.

   plug1 – first of all, as a creative professional i do understand your frustration. however, if you had clicked on the image it CLEARLY links back to the original. i’m not sure how you surmised that i was taking credit for the pic as my own work.

   my friend in Oakland turned a benz engine into a veggie biodiesel… apparently they are particularly easy cars to convert.
