How about a Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors theme?

We tried back in Reno in 2010, but it certainly could be done one heckuvalotbetter by someone else!

Truth be told, it was going to be a "TrumpCar: Racing Our Way to Financial Insolvency" theme and simply inverting the Logo of a (at the time) startup $500 car series... Totally woulda worked. But I ran it by some higher-ups and they preferred that I not give them the privilege to be parodied, but I could if I wanted to.  I took the slightly higher road and modified the theme.

50 Shades of Gray...

  • Literally paint the car (Ford Probe, right?) using 50 gray shades.
    Secure some whips & handcuffs on the doors and hood
    Put representations of meds on the roof (roofies)
    Have an image of Bill Cosby on it somewhere...big.
    Apply masks and gimp costumes liberally to all team mates
    Tape on dozens of empty wrappers of Little Debbie oatmeal cookies

Somebody wasn't at Thompson this weekend...between the Citroen S&M and 50 Shades of AAA there was plenty of leather and latex floating around.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Because we don't have a convertible Cadillac!!!

(OK really because we have so many boat related themes in the bag, but we have really been trying to do multi-car themes)...

Just a short list:

I loved Wonderbug when I was a kid.  A really stupid kid.  With 3 fuzzy TV stations to choose from.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Glad someone watched it.  I missed this, but was a huge speedbuggy fan.  As an adult I just see that as a crazy drug induced ripoff.  Then again pretty sure a lot of drugs were used on all the sid and marty croft shows.

Even back then, everything Sid and Marty did made my head hurt. Still does. The Kroffts (obviously a made-up last name) said no weed or acid was involved. I'd say they are right. I think it was homemade crank and Mad Dog 20/20.

Wonderbug was an early example of the autonomous car created by the technology giant of the late 70's, Atari.

UPDATE: In 1976, at the OMNI center in downtown Atlanta, an indoor sid/marty amusement park was built called "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft." It lasted six months. That space then became CNN HQ. Coincidence? You be the judge.

They say no drugs were involved. But they had a show called Lidsville. About talking hats.

If a Cadillac team hasn't done this yet, you've all failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fist_of_t … 86_film%29

Great anime. Also, fantastic name. Fist of the North Star!

Also, that Mini with boobs is amazing.
