A Selection of Amusing Pop Culture-Inspired Cars

Share:

Folks, if you love something, don’t set it free. Instead, unabashedly paint your vehicle so that your favorite film, TV show, or band is with you wherever you may drive. Have a big thing for Pikachu? Turn your headlights into cutesy eyes, your brake lights into rosy cheeks, and exchange your “honk” for these noises. Will fellow drivers think you’re recruiting them for Poké Battles whenever you lay on the horn? Yes, but that’ll just put a fun new twist on road rage, eh? Or, if you’d rather get it out there that you, in fact, want to rock and roll all night, go ahead and turn your car into Gene Simmons’s head, creepy tongue and all. After the jump, we’ve gathered 13 examples of drivers who have transformed their cars into really strange pop-culture homages. Check ’em out, and let us know what you’d request from Xzibit if Pimp My Ride were still a thing.
