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."

“What does she think President Obama himself would have to say about her art? “He’d say, ‘I’m too busy. Let me solve the world’s problems,’” she said.”
then he would go back to the bowling alley, the TV or the gym for some “hoops” before it’s time to end the day, twist up a big one and mellow out before the party...

Rule #1: Until you pay off the financing of a car, you dont really own it. They will also bill her to undo the vandalism. They may never recover it, but it will end up being a judgment against her. Probably one of many.

Wonder why Chrysler was financing a Saturn....ain’t those GM? It's proabably a used car traded in for a Chrysler.
