Jalopnik: Holidays

Reindeer Conversion Kit is Just the Right Amount of Tackiness

Travis Hudson — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:30:00 EST

Not getting the attention you think you deserve in your completely unmodded Civic? We've got the body kit for you. It may not be the coolest of conversions we have seen around these parts, but it is definitely the most festive and beats the hell out of those antenna ball character things. This so-called kit includes two 16-inch antlers that clip on the windows and a 6-inch red ball from the front.

You know what kind of people buy junk like this? The same kind of people who have fake giant inflatable snow globes in their yards. Sorry for being a scrooge, but what's the point. Maybe if the car could fly, it would be a different story because it would make sense and until then, no dice. [What on Earth]

Happy Presidents Day: K-Car Limo Edition

Mike Bumbeck — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:10:49 EST

As President's Day is ultimately a ripoff to those working stiffs who used to get more than one President's birthday a year off work to lounge about in their pajamas or swap out voltage regulators in their old Lincolns, it seemed only fitting to bring some Presidential caliber motorcars to the Jalopnik today. The pictured Chrysler New Yorker limo was what Nixon rolled in about a decade after his Presidential ride in Washington ended, and may or may not have included an onboard tape recorder. – Mike Bumbeck

Have Yourself a Merry Little Swedish Supercar Christmas

Mike Spinelli — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 11:15:41 EST

The folks at Sweden's supercar builder, Koenigsegg want to wish you and yours (your plebeian sedan, of course) a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year of Going Really, Really Fast. (We added that last part.) Were just wondering how they got the Ghost of Supercars Past to materialize for the shot. Swedes are really good at trick photography.
