San Diego, California
Eligible for Dumper of the year? Maybe. Kristen “K-Mur” Murino has provided some sick photo journalism from a place least expected: San Diego’s Fashion Valley Mall. Let me say first that I see a ton of Ford Falcons. They are a popular and seemingly accessible BD in Los Angeles. It’s as if they are sold on every used car lot. But rarely do we see a Falcon with such panache and vibrance. And I suppose no BD has exemplified nationalism quite like this one.
The paint job is really not of this world. I am not sure how you create a blue like that. But something tells me it’s not professionally done. This must be the blue David Bowie speaks of in the song “Sound and Vision.” An electric blue so intense, we lose sight of any potential foul play adventures. Color is one one thing. But when you add the thick, sloppy brush strokes of a second grader, you are making a statement. Texture would not adequately describe the result on the sheet metal. We simply feel what we see and ask no further questions.
We may have a dual citizenship Dumper on our hands as well. International foul play certainly sounds sexier than just being a local creep. Or maybe I have it all wrong and this is just a classic car enthusiast. Good thing I am here to scrutinize. The Italian flag hangs proudly on the front seat. In the back seat we have the American flag displayed with equal pride. This is a unique touch unseen in any other BD submission. Ground breaking stuff from K-Mur. In total, the flags amidst that deep blue paint job, provide an authentic and remarkable image. We are privy to a color interplay not often found in the world of Body Dumpers.
I don’t think Fashion Valley is the right venue for a car like this. I am lead to believe Ocean Beach, or Venice would make a much comfier home for this one. But once again, we see BD destiny choosing us and not the other way around. K-Mur simply went to purchase summer tank tops or something of the like. And what did she get? A gift.
