is that a serious question, or just being sarchastic? if serious, yes you can paint it. Duplicolor caliper paint available at any auto parts store does the trick, as well a few others. It involves taking the wheel off, so make sure you can handle jacking the car up safely, removing the wheel, and not damaging anything.

PROOF:

We find that certain things either may or may not exist, since they are found to come into being and be destroyed, and in consequence potentially, either existent or non-existent. But it is impossible for all things that are of this character to exist eternally, because what may not exist, at length will not. If, then, all things were merely possible (mere accidents), eventually nothing among things would exist. If this is true, even now there would be nothing, because what does not exist, does not take its beginning except through something that does exist. If then nothing existed, it would be impossible for anything to begin, and there would now be nothing existing, which is admittedly false. Hence not all things are mere accidents, but there must be one necessarily existing being. Now every necessary thing either has a cause of its necessary existence, or has not. In the case of necessary things that have a cause for their necessary existence, the chain of causes cannot go back infinitely, just as not in the case of efficient causes, as proved.

ShinkaTeen...

it was either post that huge paragraph,

post something about "infinite improbability" from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,

or agree with you that this thread does not really exist (causing both of our heads to implode.). I just saved the world!

A human being is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation; the self is not the relation but is the relation's relating itself to itself.

I didn't smell it. Therefor, there is no proof that you exist.
