I really don’t know where to go with this… way too many things wrong. Now I’m all for custom automotive modifications, but this one shows no respect.

It looks like one of those monstrosities we used to cobble together with parts from unrelated Revelle model kits when we were bored kids stuck in the basement on a snow day, with Testor’s vapors dancing way too close to the furnace.

The only way I’d get into that clownmobile is if I were driving and had complete control over the hydraulics to make it leap and dive through a sea of bumper to bumper traffic while Charlie Estevez-Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and that ex-sports commentator… um… whatsisname Olberman,  puked all over themselves in the back seats.

There’s just something righteous about that “What If” fantasy, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Yet, the question hovers: “Bunk, is this a True Babe Magnet?”

Answer: Nah. This is The Overnight Open Thread.

No Parking on Plow Days

Looks like someone made their point.

Reminds me of a story a contractor told me. The were starting grading operations on an old parking lot, and were ready to tear up the asphalt and take the base down by 24 inches for new construction. A guy pulled up and parked.

The contractor told him not to park there, but the guy said “I’ll only be a minute.” 45 minutes later the car was still there… sitting on a 8′ x 16′ island.

Speaking of islands, let’s change the subject because this is The Overnight Open Thread.

Blew Flamer Babe Magnet

What can we possibly say about this excellent example of Babe Magnetage that isn’t intuitively obvious to the casual observer? More than you might think.

If I’m not mistaken, this Vehicle of Vapidity is a 1989 Nissan Saturn 4-dork that was originally silver, until Bonnie Phumph’s little brother Dirk took over the ride when Bonnie left for animal husbandry school in Middlevale last year. Dirk went on a yellow spray paint rampage.

Puke Yellow Bile is not an attractive color for any Japanese import, so Dirk took it a step further with the LameFlame job. But of course, just like any proud owner of a newly created Babe Magnet, he couldn’t stop there. Nope. He used the rest of the blue dork-spray paint to stencil “Dirk is King,” “Dirk Rules” and “Dirk Rocks” in Tolkien runes on the door panels just underneath the windows.

But he didn’t stop there either. Enter a poor rendition of Marvin the Martian on the left rear quarter panel. This work o fart just screams “Dirk is a complete moron!” And just so anyone missed the message, Dork managed to knock off his rearview mirror in the Dairy Queen drive-thru and repaired it with, yep, you guessed it, duct tape.

Pure efficient genius, previously posted elsewhere, yet appropriate enough for an Overnight Open Thread.

[Updated vehicle make as a Saturn S series per comments below.]
