  8. I know it's kind of a lowball figure, but I'd pay $20 for a red 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo Sedan (with spoiler/sunroof)

  9. i appreciate the interest, folks, but i'm unofficially retired from making vehicle icons. it's unofficial because i may make more but realistically i don't know when that'll happen in the indefinite future.

    there really isn't a nominal sum that a normal person would offer that could make it worth anyone's time (of course, any abnormal person with money to burn shouldn't be afraid to speak up!), which is why garmin doesn't sell them or make them on commission. so one might as well give them away for free. i've been making these strictly for my own amusement, and for now, i just haven't had the time to make more.
