On the way to work this morning I saw this and said, "WTF?" …
Do explain this if you can! :insane:

It's obviously an aerodynamic device to keep the front end down when the car exceeds 180200 kph 🙂

You can "upgrade" your own vehicle with this "desirable" bonnet mascot.. All for a mere US $219.99http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-50S-JET-ROCKET-PLANE-HOOD-MASCOT-ALUMINUM-/280652607810
I know, it should say "some hand finishing required" or something similar. Imagine if someone went over your bonnet whilst driving at speed, the injuries would be quite horiffic :eyes:
At that price they could at least have buffed it to a mirror finish! :insane: .
I seem to remember something similar on pre 1976 Oldsmobile models. (I want to say pre- 1970 models, but my remembery fails me at times.) @DH: That's probably why they don't put those things there anymore.
Indeed, also the number plates on the front mudguards on motorcycles for a similar reason..
Why, when antlers are so butt fugly, do people want them as trophies? :yuck: .
:rofl: Nice! Apparently Redbull gave VW wings!

The owner put some personal touch on his car 🙂
I would actually rather ride that car with a plane(or whatever it is) on it than this http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EiztxZYQ8sI/TGW8x81CrAI/AAAAAAAAAcU/kSHcRhnguHc/s1600/Fiat+Multipla2.jpg But that thing from Martin's comment is to damn ugly…
Interesting vehicle :left:
Some people just want their car to be different from everyone else. Originally posted by gyng:
Voted the ugliest car in Europe. :yuck:

Inspired by the ugliest car in America perhaps? :whistle: .
Nope, ours is uglier…
Possibly, I heard the designers also spent time playing with balloons pinched off by rubber bands. 🙄

Although, the boys from BBC's Top Gear voted it their car of the year! It takes all tastes…
Oh it's a good car. Spacious, economical, practical. It's just the panel beating was done with the ugly stick.
It's predecessor looks like a kid's trailer! :yuck: .But there are prettier versions of the multipla out there! :hat: .
I drive one of these:Not the sexiest car in the world but practical for city purposes. It's a wagon, and if yoy put the back seats down you can fit just about anything into the back.Wouldn't know where to put the antlers on it, though.
I think you can get a roof rack for those..

:yes: That's why I drive one of these. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_Berlingo
Not really. It would be about the same length and width as an Astra, but taller.
It's to big too… I prefer some cars as Opel Astra or similar…
Yeah, that's the word I was looking for. I don't like tall cars.And that Fiat is to tall for my taste, not to big 😀
That's a friggen pencilbox on wheels! :insane: .
So you want something more like this. http://www.flatmobile.co.uk/
Gotta love the name though. 😉
That's fine, but I'm ok with Opel Astra :insane:

Not for me…I was driving in this Fiat one time, to over-sized seats for my taste…
Well, that stands 😀

Their seats also tend to be in a more comfortable form! Most car seats have the ergonomics of a hammock! :insane: .
Best thing about tall cars is, that you don't have to be a friggin' athlete to get in and out of them, and men of appropriate hight, like me (6.2 foot/188 cm):P can sit in them without turning into Quasimodo.
What an interesting vehicle!
