Question Custom paint job question

I am having a custom paint job done this winter and I just have one question. Is it bad luck to have Gremlins in your paint job?

No, only Javelins or Matadors.

You might hafta get a release from the AMC corporation. Why would you want a picture of an ugly little CAGE on a motorcycle?

To answer the question, IMO it wouldn't be bad luck. Basically what skulltrainharley said.
