I think when you take a car that far, it stops being a daily driver and becomes more of a show car. You're simply not gonna drive that to the supermarket or to work/school.

The #5 car has been driven by a number of nascar drivers since that #5 Monsters Inc Monte Carlo was made. It's not like other nascar numbers that are forever associated with a particular driver. Like #3, #43, #24, etc.

Also, there's not a chance in hell my 41 year old *** is gonna be seen driving a car with huge Disney Monsters Inc logos all over it.

Just wondering.

Considering the artwork involved in the Monsters Inc graphics, I'm wondering if that's actually a vinyl wrap on that Monte? Or a bunch of individual vinyl decals maybe? I can't see them paying an artist to airbrush that onto the car by hand.

If that's the case, the owner could just peel off the decals/vinyl.

That's very true. Since this item was new and directly from the Walt Disney Company, that really leads me to think it was painted. I don't really see Disney settling for a wrap or decals but who knows?

I noticed the seller added:

If the car doesn't sell this time I will take it with me to Florida and drive it or have it painted black and use it as a new monte Carlo.

That really makes me think it's painted on there if he is suggesting it would be repainted should he keep it.

Could also be that the green upper and blue lower have been painted and the rest is just decals. Would be interesting to see what option it is. I'll have to send him a question about it and find out for us

I think its pretty neat. Not really a fan of NASCAR but its still a cool car. If I had to choose I'd probably do a budweiser themed car or Mtn Dew themed lol.

Being 1 of a kind is not always a good thing. It would be a nice collector car. I would buy it just to show if I had the money. I think the owner would have done better selling it at some type of live auction were it could be marketed to collectors. Painting it and keeping it is a good option too. I think Id go with the blue thats on it.

Shoot, I'd be proud to drive that. Sure the adults would laugh at you, but the smiles you'll get from the kids would drown that out.

Wouldn't you be worried that some parents might think you're a predator? That would be one of my worries driving it.
