    This does give me a good pumpkin idea. I wonder how recognizable my car's headlights, grille, and windscreen would be if carved in a pumpkin.

    QOTD, Cadillac-O-Lantern Edition: What car's headlights and grille would be most recognizable (or just most jalop-worthy) if carved into a pumpkin?

    Some that would work well: Chevy Bel-Air; '32 Ford; Edsel (spooooky!), Viper, and of course the MazdaSpeed 3.

    Some that wouldn't work: Anything with pop-up headlights. #motortober

    Don't they realise that the word before "-tober" has to have some phonic similarity to "Oct-"? Otherwise the effect is lost.

    Rock-tober - Yes
    Truck-tober - Could be better
    Motor-tober - No. Sounds like an automatic potato planter. #motortober

    @Lounge Singer Chamois: Even "Mo-Tober" would get a little closer.

    I didn't even realize that was the intent until you posted that. I just assumed Tober was the user name of some Pchopper on a random website. #motortober

    @MushyHeirloom: Cock-Tober being, of course, the month dedicated to celebrating the heritage and contribution of the following Americans:

    1. Male Chickens
    2. Guys who use their cars as, y'know, "extensions".

    So it really doesn't apply to any of us here... #motortober

    @Heavern2 stinks a poo: I hear you. If they asked me back in 40 years to write a memo on document retention policies, I doubt it will strike anyone with the same sense of history and awe as this video/commercial did. I doubt I'll ever be a race car driver, but it does inspire me to think carefully about what my next career may be. #mini
