Warning, those of you with a low threshold for stupidity may want to skip this post.
While wiling away some time on the Miata Forum I came upon a post in the NC forum from a woman about getting the exact car she wanted. It is a new MX-5 in Galaxy Gray which is a fairly dark gray with blue undertones. When the folks in that section put their car color in their signatures this color is abbreviated GG. I don’t remember exactly what she had to say, but I really did like her forum name – Galaxy Girl (which could also be abbreviated GG.) I could readily imagine the costume a superhero called Galaxy Girl would have, all dark blue with small silver stars throughout and a big ringed planet on her chest. A chrome silver cape and boots with a dark blue strap mask that had star shaped cutouts to see through.
It was almost enough to make me want to buy a Galaxy Gray MX-5 in 1336 days just so I could change my forum name to Galaxy Guy. Wait, can’t I just change it now to something like Garnet Guy or maybe just Garnetman. Let’s see, dark maroon uniform with a faceted GG or G on the chest in shiny bright red. Red boots and cape with gold piping. For a mask, maybe something like Geordi from ST:NG.
I have commissioned a caricature for the last two Miatas, maybe I could get an artist to draw up Garnetman for me. A Google search led me to a few possibilities, including this one: The Art of Andy Smith.
The guy has done work for Marvel comics, so his work probably wouldn’t come cheap. I may go ahead and ask anyway. I kind of like this pose of Superman or this other one of Quasar from his Commissions page. Boy if I did get my very own superhero alter ego, you could bet that this web page would get a redesign…
