These are all brilliant: convertible/targa would be great and I was thinking about something you could camp in would be helpful but the mini#vanlife is no way to do an Americana road trip - a giant bachelorette party limo on the other hand!

I was gonna suggest painting or plasti-dipping (wrap probably too much $) it a very non-cop colour: Ferrari red? Grabber blue? Burnt orange? BRG? Plum crazy?

I was wondering if it might be a Chinese lookalike such as this one I found on AliExpress
