Larry, buddy, let me give you a quick piece of advice. Don’t advertise your autobody business on a crusty old 1988 red, white, and blue Dodge Caravan with missing hub caps. That would be like Gold’s Gym passing out 6XL t-shirts.

    Larry also made sure to park where no one would accidently scratch his sweet paint job.

    Larry is right happy with the way his hand painted van turned out , thank you very much. The spray paint, rollers , even the dust mask he wore came from Walmart. For $ 99.00 its hard to beat his weekend special.

    This explains who is decking out the styling on all these fab autos in the Wal•Mart parking lots.

    Hey Larry…how do I contact you? Maybe it is just me, and the rest of the world knows how, or is your phone # and website on the drivers side?

    Larry went all out with his ride. Can’t wait for him to pimp my ride. Where is Xzibit at?

    Superb work, Larry. I can’t wait to see what you do with my grandma’s old 1988 Ford Aerostar! Just remember to use some proper punctuation when spelling out “Grandma Sue’s Party Van”.

    Larry forgot to put his phone number on the door. Now we won’t be able to get an estimate for one of his sweet tri-tone paintjobs.

    Many Walmart shoppers would think this is a really nice paint job. Have you SEEN some of the vehicles on this site or in your local Walmart parking lot ?

    Larry forgot his handicapped placard that day, so he couldn’t park where he usually does…

    Thinkin Larry is actually crazy as a fox. He knows his clients tastes and were he can find them in bulk to advertise. BRILLIANT! Bet Larrys other car really is a Porche……although sadly probably has the same paint scheme.

    If you do have more customers than you can serve then you need this kind of advertisement to get rid of some customers ;)

    At first glance, I could have sworn it said: “Larry’s Autopsies.” Wal Mart shopping is not for the faint of heart!

    Actually, the 6XL Gold’s Gym t-shirt would be a good idea. Then everyone wearing them would look like they’d lost a ton of weight. I think I just caught you at a fail, P.O.W. administrator.

    Looks like there is a Larry’s AutoBody in Moorhead, MN… actually seems like a successful and reputable small business. With a website no less. http://www.larrysautobody-mn.com/

    Hell, if my car had body damage after skidding off an icy highway at night in the Fargo-Moorhead area while being pursued by a guy who had just killed a highway patrolman whom I witnessed dragging the body off, I’d DEFINITELY take my car to Larry’s.

    But still, that’s one ugly van.
