I was asking my friend the other day about the racing stripes on his car. I know that he had them put on and I wanted to know what it cost. He informed me that he had them painted on professionally and I knew I could not afford that on a babysitter’s salary, so he suggested that I get some vinyl racing stripes and he would be happy to put them on for me.

I went to the local store that actually specializes in making custom signs. But, I figured if anyone in town carried these, it would be them. I was in luck, sort of. They had some, but they were not necessarily in any of the colors I would have chosen. Sal, the guy who owns the store was really nice, though, and told me he would order me some if I wanted.

While I was walking up and down the aisles, looking at all the yard signs, I racked my brains as to exactly what color I should go with. In the end, I decided that it was going to be pink. I am a girly girl after all, and I am always wearing pink. You should have seen Sal’s face. It was great.
