Re: Themes you'd like to see done

We've had a couple of "people's" cars (communist, soviet, eastern bloc, etc.) and Mad max themes, but I'm curious if anyone's done a proper post-apocalyptic socialist movement car. Something like 1984's INGSOC, or Fahrenheit 451's Firemen.

But seriously, "Because stair-car" would probably go over pretty well.

That's Deadmau5, not Danger Mouse.  Different thing entirely.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

I think he was going for this Danger Mouse, but miss-Googled:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Mouse

Which makes me wonder why we haven't had a Gorillaz themed car:

Instead of a 1st gen Camaro use a 1st gen Toyota Celica. Bruce Willis in the El Camino is easy, you can cut down any sedan or wagon you have handy.

And what about Tank Girl?

I was free associating.  I'm very familiar with Danger Mouse.  And Deadmau5.  Well, a little less on Deadmau5, admittedly.  But when I saw Danger Mouse, thought of Deadmau5, I was then wondering what a car with a giant Deadmau5 head on its roof would do.

if they played Deadmau5 from their car, it would lull all the other racers to sleep

If it moves and shouldn't, use Duct Tape.
If it should move and doesn't, use WD-40.

Interesting thought.... You could disguise some fairly large speakers in those ears...

"A Shot in the Dark" is on TV right now, but it reminded me of the end of the first "Pink Panther" movie

Maybe I could make a car with a dead mau five theme and a giant dead mau five head on the roof, but fill it with candy and make it a pinata and let everyone bring their kids to the race and beat the hell out of it with broom sticks. Could be fun.

Krider Racing did it with an Acura a while back but if you do it with a Charger I'm sure it would be better!

If I was going to go with a John Cusack Movie theme I'd probably go with Better Off Dead as my inspiration.

Seconded. I've lost track of the number of times I've made that suggestion on this forum. I should probably just do it myself...

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

To go along with the "Phil's favorite insane socialist dictators themes" could be a nice Hugo Chavez' oil refinery theme.  Could be potentially very offensive.... My team said "NO!"... So who's gonna jump on the sword?

Has anyone ever done a "Centurion" theme?  Found a $500 Buick that's begging for a giant, red broom head on its roof.
