I'm going to need a little help figuring out what looks "old" on our show now...

Powers' had a 12 seater, this is a 16. It looks like a 12 because we still had 4 more sweeps to put on when I took the pic.

That looks great, Hoffa. I like that shade of blue, and the logos on the seats are a nice look!

I think it looks great, but isn't that "Last years blue?"

Sh*t, you're right... That's the same old blue we've been using for years.

Beautiful work as always. Would it be possible to put new L.E.D lights on it?

Hmm what else looks old around their? I have no idea.
