Whew the hatchback looks sooooo much better. It’s not even close.

Yeah, honestly I’ve seen it (and similar) happen. To a certain extent (particularly in an area as expensive as SF) asking forgiveness (or not) is so much cheaper than asking permission. Particularly since most historic commissions don’t really have any real bite behind their bark.

It was listed for fairly “cheap” only because the restoration will be so expensive. It’s a registered historic landmark in Texas and any renovation has to be approved by the Historical Commission.

This purple color is amazing. 

Ah, didn’t see you already posted it. Here’s the tweet. Hands down one of my favorite tweets. Periodt.
