23. If you had a car that looked like a sink, you'd probably WANT to keep it wrapped forever

The vinyl they wrap cars with has a five-year lifespan. I figure the Cybertruck crowd is buying vinyl that's already the color they want it instead of buying white vinyl that's been printed. By the time your wrap is unserviceable, you'll probably want a different car anyway. I REALLY can't imagine these things in classic car shows 30 years from now.
