<p>We're just wondering if the Grammy Museum phoned up the Petersen Automotive Museum and asked for tips on the whole moving-a-giant-motorized-machine-into-a-museum deal.</p>
<p>Because Janis Joplin's famous and memorably painted 1965 Porsche pulled up to the music museum early on Tuesday, March 23. It'll be part of a big Joplin/Hendrix/Doors exhibit that's due to open on Monday, April 5.</p>
<p>Most places would just round up a few costumes, maybe a signed LP or two, for an exhibit. But not the Grammy people. Oh no. They go out. All. Out. Get us a car! Yes! We said car! (Maybe we're paraphrasing there.)</p>
<p>The museum tweeted the pic and we had to share, because the colorful Porsche sitting outside the museum is our favorite picture of the day. Which is saying a lot. Because we, like you, having access to the Internet, see approximately 758 images by 9 a.m.</p>
<p>Lady Joplin, nice wheels. We can almost picture you zipping down PCH, carefree and all Bobby McGee'd.</p>
