If you’ve ever been on a road trip with a car you cherish, chances are you've done something to keep your paint safe from rock chips. Maybe you’re the type who wraps the front of your beloved show car in blue painters tape before making a cross-state trip to a show or maybe you've invested in a clear bra as a more permanent fix. Sometimes it's fun to try something different.

Every year Caleb Christy and thousands of other driving enthusiasts make the journey to Great Smoky Mountains National Park to slay the Tail of the Dragon. For him and his fellow Tampa Honda S2000 owners, this annual 600+ mile drive is a chance to let loose and enjoy pure driving.
This year, however, Caleb decided to ditch the blue tape and invest in a few cans of PlastiDip. With a few hours, some careful tape work and a bunch of dedication, Caleb took inspiration from shark-faced war planes and transformed his 2003 Honda S2000 into a sight that turned heads while keeping his beloved car safe. Hat-tip to Caleb for putting a smile on not only his car, but also anybody who has seen its toothy grin. Here are some pics from the weekend before he left on the trip.
