Awesome design, but it needs to be more clear that its Odysseus, otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

Hopefully people check the license plate if they're having trouble recognizing the driver.

Well, the above link isn't working for me, so hopefully you can click below for a little more detail.

Please don't change "O"'s car into a minivan. I wouldn't get it.



I wouldn't mind seeing a little more action on Odysseus's part, something to the ides of his arm being raised out of the window...



I love the story as well, and my car is also named Odysseus. As he was stolen and came back to me!

Thanks for the feedback thus far guys! Let's hope your Odysseus is home for good, Ravyn.

Too little contrast between the middle car and the police cars. But nice concept.

Can you change the dark blue on Odysseus' car? At first glance I thought it was another cop car. Also, I thought the rear view mirror toy was a baby buggy! Maybe make the horse's muzzle point outward more? It is a nice touch.

Awesome, although I would have to say the same as the person above me which is that you might want to change the color of Oddyseus' car (looks like a cop car)
