Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itasha
Itasha (痛車 ?) is a Japanese term for an otaku fad of individuals decorating the bodies of their cars with fictional characters of anime, manga, or video games (especially bishōjo game or eroge). These characters are predominately "cute" female. The decorations usually involve paint schemes and stickers. Automobiles are called Itasha, while similar motorcycles and bicycles are called itansha (痛単車 ?) and itachari (痛チャリ ?), respectively.

love the van!

i had wanted to put Getter 1 on my 86 a while back but it was going to cost more than i thought was practical either air brushed or vinyl-ed.

i did a photoshop of it somewhere.
