Occupy Car Seat!

Guess it's the sort of theme that would work best with a minivan that then entire team lives in during the race.

The Patchouli Stench & Drum Circle could create problems. And then there's the tear gas & riot police costumes, those ain't cheap you know.

Has anyone done an Ali G theme yet?

The original was a Renault 5, but a Le Car or any small crapcan hatchback will do...

Get a 1980 Mercury Monach/Ford Granada and replace the marker lights with headlights....

...then crudely graft on the side markers, and add ornamentation from a 1977 LTD II...

Then ADD all the hood ornaments/emblems of the following...

1978 Plymouth Fury

1977 Chevy Chevelle
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4689864021_5d646847ac.jpg

Or actually any combination of the above. Remove any traces aft of the A-pillar that would tip off what model it actually is, or cover with sheetmetal/sledgehammer work. Paint lime green with question marks all over it. When you sign up, refer to it as a "1977 Car".

I've been working on a "racing simulator" for the pits. unfortunately, the roof of my car has a 500 pound weight limit. I wonder what the new jeep is rated to haul on it's roofrack....

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

The great thing about the Lamaze theme is how easy it would be for some drivers.
There've been sightings of beer guts & man boobs reported at the warm weather races.

I did NOT need to see that guy in skin tight Nomex undies.:rolleyes:

If it's an actual van, sure. We've seen at least three A-Team themes on cars by now, so if you're thinking of getting a Mr. T costume and GMC logos on your RX-7, don't.

Yeah,

It takes a lot of beer to get through BS with the  A Team theme!
