Can someone explain this fad/trend/style to me? We have a M&Ms, Skittles, and a "Game Over" car rolling around B'ham.

We have a Sponge Bob Square Pants Mustang. I have pics of it somewhere.

Found it, and I apologize that I can not provide an explanation. It is too expensive to be explained away as an attempt at hipsteresque "irony", and it seems those who do it aren't hipsters anyway. Perhaps it is an attempt to co-opt the power of the commercial icons to the vehicle or driver, as totemic images of cultural recognition. Sort of like a "super-sticker".

I want to be a head in a jar, but, I am not cool enough.

Judy Ganley - legend has it that before Can Am races in one of the motorhomes there were the pre-race readings with a select few of the drivers. Judy read them the current issue Penthouse Forum.

No, just don't watch it period. And if you're curious, watch the trailer. That is more than enough.

Too late. That thing makes Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" look like the masterpiece he thinks it is..

Don't know what this is, but it's cool in it's own funky way:

It's a modified Goggomobil Coupe, a German-built Microcar that was very popular in the 50s/early 60s. Here's what they look like in non-hillclimb trim:

They're normally propelled by two-stroke twins with 250cc displacement up to the 400cc 'big block' . Glas (the company that manufactured them) later tried to go upmarket and came up with stuff like the Glass 1300GT:

First (German) production car with a timing belt as opposed to a cam chain.

At some point, Glas was approached and asked to buy BMW to rescue them, the adventures with stuff like the 1300GT and some other financial issues pretty much killed off Glas and they ended up being sold to BMW...

^ Thanks, Tim!

I never imagined Goggomobils as performance platforms. The Glass 1300GT was quite an attractive car, reminiscent of the Fiat 850 Coupe:

I'd hate to see such a well-proportioned girl get some road rash by fooling around like that..
