Should I paint a car for the Archibald Prize? Bold idea #2 to win

What is the quintessence of a person and how can it be captured like an imp, bottled and poured onto a painting surface?

A black turtle neck says 'Steve Jobs', harem pants say 'M.C Hammer' and a bejewelled white glove says Michael Jackson. Can a car do the same, I wonder?

If I painted a portrait of someone as a car - the symbol of modern life - it would surely be radical indeed. If so, what would this orange one say?  

To you - the reader of my thoughts - should I and who would it be? 

P.S - I'd love to send you my updates, just go here.
