In a previous life, my then-wife and I test-drove a new Subaru XT-6 that had painted pinstripes with little curly-cue doodads at the ends, and we both thought, why on earth would somebody do such to this otherwise sharp-looking car? But we drove it anyway... after they pulled it off the display pedestal and put a charge on the dead battery. Then my wife stalled it and the battery was still too weak to turn it over, so we had to wait on a truck from the dealership with this obnoxious, alcohol-fueled salesman. After all that we were still interested, but they wouldn't budge on the price; a very substantial for the time $18,000+, as I recall.

We bought a Legacy L from another dealership. With pinstripes.
