Topic: Which themes have been done to death?
So far I've noticed people are sick of cop cars and cars dressed like tanks. What about pirates and ninjas - are they played out yet?

If you do a theme that has already been done, do it better. Some themes can go a long way before people get tired of them.
sharks are quite popular too.....
You know what theme hasn't been done nearly to death? Pretty girls. Especially scantily-clad pretty girls. That theme never gets tired.

Unpossible.

We need a Gulf Colors Trophy chase.
There must have been 5 or 6 cop cars at buttonwillow, less at thunderhill. I would like to see a Three Men and a Baby team. I predict a fight to be Gutenberg. Finding a baby wouldn't be hard, Lemons is riddled with whining.

So if we were to do "Ms. Morally Casual Attitude in Gulf Colors with a big wing that would be OK?

Maybe a Gulf colors/Pussy Galore Mash-up? Hmm...maybe my team can switch themes. Since we're bringing an E30 to the phx show we may have to distract the judges with flesh.
If you bring enough Bond Girls, even an e30 running a Gulf colors/cop theme would be fine. Slinky broads are the Lemons trump card.

We aim to please.
I'm just sick of the cheap sticker themes !
Whatever you do just do it to the most extreme possible . Here on the westcoat we have some crazy teams my favorite is the BiPolar express a locomotive on the roof of a mustang !
The Ice cream truck that was handing out ice cream all weekend was cool.
And the taxis and pizza delivery guys gotta go ! Unless there is pizza given out!
I haven't seen a Postal Jeep
Beverly Hillbillies
Adams Family
Cannonball run ambulance
Alvin and the chipmunks playing there music
A car covering in grass with a huge Gopher a little Caddyshack
How about a Proctoligist car with all sorts of rubber gloves and vaseline jars on it
Oscar Myer weinie car
I wanna see a Jurassic Park Ford Explorer. With a healthy amount of cheater mustang parts, it could actually be fast too.

Nice idea, but surely post munched, for LeMon racing ?
I've wanted to do a Deliverator's car theme for a long time, with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs, but my teammates keep telling me that it's too niche and nobody would get it. For the Texas races they might be right, but I'm betting for the NorCal races it would get a lot of knowing looks. The density of Stephenson fans has to be higher out closer to Silicon Valley than around these here parts.

I think a Pizza Deliverator theme would be excellent, especially if you rig up Uncle Enzo's countdown clock in the cockpit and bring some pizza to the BS inspection. I'm a huge Stephenson fan (though I've sort of slowed down as I slog my way through the Baroque Cycle), and I'll betcha Jay, Nick, and/or Jeff are too.
I keep saying it, and everyone keeps ignoring me, but turning 1959-75 Detroit 2-door cars into NASCAR replicas would be pretty damn cool. If you go with the 70s, your team could wear appropriate sideburns.
i have been contemplating a Dan Gurney/Wood Brothers theme from the 60's, but I'm afraid I would get knocked off by the Ford faithfuls putting that theme on my planned 2 door chevy entry...
Oh yeah 70's nascar is an awesome theme, see uberbird at thunderhill 09.
Why not an "Up N Smoke team"? There's a 70s GM car or a Grass Ice Cream truck. With a serious license to blast music and party and drive with plus carpet
interior and a chain steering wheel. WINNER!!!!
-Keep ah knockin, butcha can't come in.
-License, Please...
-Oh yeah, it's on da bumber, man.
Mommy try to talk it to me, try to tell me how to live.
Dadadah dadadah Da Da Dah!!!
But I don't listen to her, cause my head is like a siev.
(Come on everyone....)

Plus someone get's to dress up like Cheech in the pink Tutu Fairy outfit.
