The "Your Car Next to" Picture Game

[S204STi]

College campus = lots of scooters.  I'll have to nut up and take care of this one, I guess.

[giant_mtb]

I put about 40 miles on mine yesterday.  Felt nice.  And now it's raiiiiiiiining.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Should have picked "your car next to a women in a bikini", we probably wouldn't have to had to wait for too long.

[68_427]

That would be done within hours

[FlatBlackCaddy]

That was going to be my next one.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Hey giant, it's been a week and I don't think anyone will get a scooter.

I believe it is within your power to choose another topic.

Something with boobies maybe, hey it's up to you.



Just mentioning it, this will be a fun thread to keep going.

[Madman]

I win!!!





Okay, next challenge.  Your car next to a stretch limo.

[68_427]

Stretch limo and bikini?

[Madman]

Stretch limo and bikini?

You can wear whatever you want.

[Madman]

What, nobody can find a limo to park next to?  Come on, guys.  It's not that hard.

Easier that finding a working payphone, anyway.  Best I could manage was an empty kiosk where the phone had been ripped out.

[Raza]

Funny, I had seen an Infiniti QX56 limo and was next to it at a light just a couple days before you posted the challenge.  I haven't seen a limo since.

You can reissue a challenge, since It's been a week.

[Madman]

Okay, consider it reissued.  Limo + your car.  How hard can it be?

[S204STi]

I know where I could find one, just don't want to drive down to it... Maybe tomorrow night.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Don't have to get all pissy about it, just making a comment.

[Madman]

I wasn't trying to be pissy.  I guess my attempt at humour fell flat?

Suffice to say I won't be quitting my day job for a career in comedy!

[MexicoCityM3]

Waiting for the "your car next to a mexican sombrero" challenge.

[cawimmer430]

Don't ever let me win.

"Your car next to a 1974 Dodge Mon..." 

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Don't ever let me win.

"Your car next to a 1974 Dodge Mon..." 

Not too hard, there are atleast a dozen junkyards withing 15 miles of me. Don't know if they would let me drive my car out in the yards though.

That is bullshit because a 1974 Dodge Monaco would usually be exhibited in all its glory in a museum for classic cars, not in a junkyard! 

[Madman]

No, it's bullshit because all the '74 Monacos were junked and crushed by 1982.

Must I remind you of the '74 Dodge Monaco in Munich?

Shouldn't the skinny one (Elwood) be driving? 

Seriously, if you were to ever come to America, I think you would be extremely disappointed.  That's because our roads are no longer teaming with chrome-laden, button-tufted velour lined rolling gin palaces.  These days, the great American highways and byways are blighted by dull, anonymous, styled-by-committee mobile appliances bought by risk-adverse consumers interested only in low operating costs and a long warranty.  Alas, the only '74 Monaco you're likely to see over here will be like the one in your photo; a kitsch tribute to a fondly remembered film from long ago.

Cars from that era were never designed or built to last.  A prime example is my dad's 1974 Thunderbird (or ThunderTurd, as I insisted on calling it!).  Bought brand new in the spring of '74, it was towed away for scrap in 1981.  Even as a child I could recognise this was a terrible car.  Enormous in size and girth on the outside yet tiny and cramped on the inside (a reverse-Tardis, if you will), it was riddled with faults that even the Ford dealer gave up on trying to fix.

There's a very good reason only a handful of these cars still exist as stationary objects in museums.  That's because these cars were rendered stationary for a considerable amount of the time during the era when they were supped to be used as...... well, as cars!  Good riddance to all of them!

Not if he just came back from Oktoberfest.

That's not quite true. I'll probably see the occasional '70s landyacht here and there, but I'll also be seeing such amazing EXOTICS like Camry's, Accords and Sonatas!!!!

Yep, I don't doubt that the quality was bad, but in terms of DESIGN they're so hot.

We need a new challenge.  It's not prom season and it's not wedding season.  Limos are harder to find now.

Sounds like a cop-out to me! 


Come on, guys.  This one should be way easier than the pay phone.  I expect better from all of you, dammit!

I've driven past a couple lately, but it's too reckless to take a photo at 85+.  I'm never near one in a traffic jam.

New rule suggestion, if some asshat wants to stall the game with some shitty recommendation we can all overrule him and move on to something else.

I don't think a limousine is so ridiculous as to fall into the category of intentionally stalling -- we're just not seeing too many. Besides, there's already the rule that a fresh challenge is due if no one gets anywhere after a week.

[Speed_Racer]

There is approximately one limo in Salt Lake City. It's like freakin sasquatch...I've heard stories that it exists, but never seen it with my own eyes
