    Business idea trade-offer

    A car with a ‘virtual’ body that can change paint jobs on the fly. Like Green Hornet. Except we call them “skins”, and we also sell “battle driving passes” where you unlock new skins after doing different things, like filling up a full tank 3 times, driving at 90MPH for 20 minutes, and getting new tires installed.
