Now this is a logo I'd want to see on my car. Bells, this is the look I'd want to see on my car! But a face that goes with the logo without looking like garish go-faster stripes... is that even possible?

Village has an online type tester.

I go with a rock solid sans. Like Alright Sans, Sense, or the like - but bolder and all caps. At least as a starting point.
