Bingo.
Imagine that you are looking through a couple of hundred applicants, trying to weed out a third to a half of them.
One team is going to show up as '49-ers, with pick axes, frontier costumes, a lady of the evening, a car that looks like a gold panning slucie complete with recirculating running water, and promises of gold nugget bribes.
The other is a cop car with a light bar. Which one would you pick?
As proof, there's another cop car in your photo!
For example, as Near-Orbital Space Monkeys, we bribed with bananas and Creme de Banana (before moving on to esoteric beers and single malt, when the going got tough). My daughter wore a monkey costume in the paddock. We made a lot of ee ee, oo oo sounds during BS inspection. Our car had huge rocket motors with orange flames on the back and a space capsule on the roof. A monkey in a space costume and helmet rode shotgun. Our theme was unique and we (over) worked it. We had fun and we hope others enjoyed it too.
