Red Volvo - I've seen dropped and chopped before, but that is going to the extreme.
Uncle Al's Car - I thought the classic Munsters coffin rod had an exposed engine. Half the point of these cars is to show the engine, see how many cajones it has.
Shrimp - Probably wouldn't notice the restaurant name, and it wouldn't endear me to their cause.
Hearse - I'm still not sure if I'd want to go to burning man. Has that got half a dune bug in the roof ornament.
#1 is clearly tailor-made for phat midgets. Or people who got steamrolled while standing.
#2 reminds me of a french expression describing a maniac driver: "Driving with open grave." Meaning he's already halfway there! Or maybe it's Count Dracula's hot-rod? A Dra-car-ula? (Or just a drakkar-ula?) (Alex: "cajones"? Is that what mechanics call metacarpal bones these days? :o)
#3: "To the Lobstermobile, Shrimpboy! Crime shell not pass." Ta-daaah!
#4: Uh... WTF? Is that a sand car-stle? Or the Creepy Coupe in Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races after a desert storm operation? [I recommend you check the above link, it's very cool. Or atrociously geeky, you decide.]
After nearly completing Lego Indiana Jones (99.1%), now I'm wondering if some magnificent nut has made lego versions of the Arkansas Chug-A-Bug and the others? A Lego official box set of the Wacky Races vehicles AND drivers, how awesome would that be? 8) (Lego smiley)
I don't like any of these cars, but I do admire the spirit that feels free to express itself like this, without worrying about whether I'm going to like it.
I just don't want any of these guys customizing my car, that's all.

Autobots, transform and roll out!
Cahones is Spanish (Mexican) for balls. I guess I just assumed it was a 'j' not an 'h'.
ReplyDeleteAnyway you need a car with cahones or huevos.
