Those things look exactly like the BEMs (bug-eyed monsters) in a specific science fiction B-movie from the '50s.  I just can't remember the title.  I always think it's THEM!, but that isn't it.  I also don't think it's this one, but it's closer:

The things I'm remembering looked more like big pill bugs with that car's exact face.

In an odd coincidence, we just watched that movie Saturday night.

I'm guessing this is in an Irish neighborhood?

The movie showed him going straight to Okinawa. He had already served in the Philippines and Guam, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star. 

“Most Medal of Honor winners, they’ll do things in an instant. It’s a decision they make and they do something insanely courageous and heroic,” explains Hacksaw Ridge director Mel Gibson to the Sydney Morning Herald.

“But with [Desmond Doss], it wasn’t an instant. It was over and over again

Lancia Stratos kitbashed out of the LEGO Technic 911 GT3:

I don't want the Porsche, but I picked up a knockoff GT3 kit just so I could build the Stratos. Gotta find the right wheels for it. The LEGO panels really suit the Stratos shape.

We're usually a fairly enlightened bunch around here. I'd be surprised to see a "Women drivers" comment. But that license plate should not be ignored.

"Florida drivers" comments are still fair game right?

I showed my wife this and said "holy E36 M3 I found our restaurant!"

Without missing a beat she nodded and said "now if they'd only open a Mexican place called "I Don't Care."

After 21 years I'm still sure I married the right woman.

New car Wally?

DOH !!!

I now have an automotive unicorn. I've never really understood having that ONE weirdo old car that you always looked for even there was next to no chance of finding it. Today that changed, because I found my own personal unicorn.

Brazilian Ford B100 Panel. 

I've seen the standard B100s with windows and thought they were cool, but this....I must own one of these. Anyone have connections with the Brazilian version on Craigslist?

In reply to ultraclyde :

Looks like Craigslist Brazil only has two cars and fire truck. You might better try Facebook Market.
