Everytime I read it I'm reminded of the fact that tatas is an old vaudeville expression for breasts. I wonder if they’ve ever cliniced the Tata moniker here in the states.

Never has there been such an opportunity for this much inane, juvenille humor. "Tweak your Tatas" is a perfect headline....good job, Frank. For those of you who listen to Bob&Tom, Shirtless Girl will soon be trading in the Hooter Scooter for a pair of these.

It had a minimalist Bauhaus sensibility such as a photo of the car with a one word logo like: "Cheap". I think the word you were looking for is customizing. The best evocation of that era is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kandy-Kolored-Tangerine-Flake-Streamline-Baby/dp/0553380583/" rel="nofollow">Tom Wolfe's book "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby"</a>. Later in the 60s drug-addled hippies took to painting their bugs with flowers and "psychedelic" colors. However, most of that was house paint, not automotive enamel, and it was intended to cover rust spots. “VW marketed the Beetle to baby boomers bent on blinging their whip”
