    I just finished watching super size me. It was awesome. I wonder what a sweet car McDonalds and Toyota could come up with. #cardesign

    "They" (all look the same) is unclear in this context.

    There are three orange people and one yellow person here. Your mileage may vary, but this could just as easily be a cartoon on ethnic tolerance or something. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: i watched the first two on there, and actually that IS what they're referring to, not Toyota's bland vehicle design. I don't know what they're trying to achieve with this cartoon series thing, but I feel disturbed on a very deep, bordering on subconscious, level. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: Maybe the yellow guy is a member of Mara Salvatrucha (note the tear-shaped prison tattoo) and is trying to conduct a hit on one of these three guys, but he wants to be sure he gets the job done right.

    He probably just kills all of them to be on the safe side. #cardesign

    cho kowai desu-yo!

    see what I did thar?


    The girlfriend and I can't fathom why anyone would do this; I speculate that it's sexually repressed, overly wealthy nerds while the girlfriend speculates that it's 45 year old men who consider aerobic videos erotic.

    I also didn't notice the SUPER CREEPY dolls until I re-read your blurb.

    There's a fine line between decorated and garish... and when you fill your car with dolls, dakimakura, and character seat covers, you leave both behind, lol...

    ...yet I'm fighting the urge to do a more tasteful one with a few vinyls of spell cards from the Touhou Project shooters, heh... most people wouldn't get it, and a few would go OMFG THAT'S AWESOME. ;)

    @fuchikoma:

    I think some patterns from this fight would look good on a black car... 1:12 if Gawker breaks the time jump code on the movie...

    If you didn't look closely, it would just seem like a pattern until you noticed the small characters fighting it out...

    #15 could be the creepiest- guy with camera taking an upskirt (almost) of either a doll on a girl wearing a mask dressed up like anime in an anime'd van.

    too meta, too wacky

    And I'm sure there are tentacle cars too.
