ennifer Stone-Anderson says her 2004 Saturn Ion became a work of art this fall when she covered it with elaborate paintings supporting Barack Obama.

But Chrysler, which financed her car purchase, maintains that it's just a car. And that Stone-Anderson has been missing payments. And that her work of "art" is about to be repossessed.

Stone-Anderson's unemployment was the root of the art, but her lack of work may also bring the loss of it. In May, she gained free time when she was laid off from Rainbow Art and Design in Tampa, Fla., so she started painting her car with leftover acrylics.

Since the layoff, she has been working as a freelance artist, but hasn't been able to find enough work to keep all the bills paid.

Stone-Anderson missed her car payments in December, January and February and has started receiving calls from Chrysler. She has ignored them.

She said that Chrysler has the paperwork to repossess the car, and it's really just a matter of the company finding it at this point. The car is hard to miss, but Stone-Anderson said she's not worried about the company taking it.

"Barack says he's an eternal optimist," she said. "We're like minds."

Hey B.O., give her a car for crying out loud ... she gave you a vote.

It’s weird what passes for “art” these days.

I would be embarrassed to drive that thing for a multitude of reasons.

“She has ignored them”, well, there’s your problem!
Pay up or arrange something.
If not, you get a visit from these people! Not pretty.

There was a thread about this stupid cow a couple weeks ago.

Personally I think she vandalized the car because they were reposessing it.

Rule #1: Until you pay off the financing of a car, you don’t really own it.

The south St. Petersburg resident showed off her rolling campaign ad in our parking lot today, pointing out the giant globe that’s really a lit-fuse bomb; Arlington National Cemetery (”where our soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan are buried”); a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness; and the admonition to recycle (curbside or otherwise) in St. Pete but not to “recycle Bush-McCain.”
