What about a tent that looks like a car that had a tent built in?

I had no idea what was going on until I saw this:

Honestly; clever idea. Execution lacks…
Hey, wait a sec… I can see this through the tragedy…

Color-coordination is not my strong suit, but otherwise I think everyone else is doing it wrong.
Is that like a dinghy for a large boat? Though I'd hardly call an Austin Metro "large"…
Austin Metro? AUSTIN Metro?!? That's an MG Metro 1300. Almost completely different, er, distinguishable.
For your diligence, I award you with an Isuzu Aska.

I'm happy to take your word for it on that one.
How can you tell one apart from a Legacy?
…
…Just Aska the owner.
…
…I'll get my coat.
I was going to post this until I saw you already covered it.

I preferred to emphasize a different perspective this time around.
I like the long travel suspension though…
The suspension would look even weirder from that angle were it not for the battery box hanging down near the front. Everything else extends forward from the firewall, so the nose just seems to float above the wheels.

I have a wheel barrow that I use at work that I wish had that suspension. Damn, that's sophisticated.
It is! The springs and shocks run horizontally along the rocker panels. What's less sophisticated are the cable-actuated mechanical brakes.
Micro-Car Manor?
What are you bringing to Concours d"Lemons this year?
How am I supposed to know what will be running in mid-August?
Something like this: <img src="http://www.mgexperience.net/article/mgb/mgb-trailer/trailer-done.jpg"width=500> is sort of cool. Towing a trailer covered with a hollowed out Power Wheels shell is just stupid.
I can't decide if this is an MGM or BGB.
That's… amazing, or just totally wrong. Makes me think of a Rorschach test blot, symmetrical, but wrongly so.
By the way; these are the worst things in the universe:
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/PaR5U.jpg" width="450">
Totally. Goddamn, those fuckers freak me the hell out.
Seriously, what the hell are those for?
If someone could explain that, I'd be much obliged…
Someone who entered a lot of car shows told me that just having a nice car isn't enough. Some judges need to see more. So competitors put out three metal gas cans, painted to match, and labeled Gas, Oil, and H20, even though none of them has ever contained anything other than air. They put out the Chinese-made $15.99 hydraulic floor jack that could not be trusted to actually lift a car. And they put out these things. Nobody gets docked points for having them, but sometimes you get docked for not having enough–why take chances?
It's flair?! Some people can't just let the car be beautiful it needs a vest of flair to annoy passerbys?!
I'm officially never entering a car show.
I'd have to agree with you. Unless some day I have Concours d'Elegance money.
People at Concours d'Elegance shows don't put stupid shit on their cars.
They do. It's just not
faketotally fake.<img src="http://www.autospies.com/images/users/Agent001/17-08-20070815.16.30.jpg" width=500>
They aren't stupid. I'm sure they're just putting themselves through med school.
At Dr. Nick's alma mater: Hollywood Upstairs University.
Perfectly fine. Except for the Hawaiian print poster.
It appears that site doesn't appreciate hotlinking, even though the name was prominently advertised in the corner of the image itself. Oh, well.
Yes, it's flair.
Also, if your car has non-retracting seatbelts, there's supposed to be a right way and a wrong way to put them on the seat.
The right way is around the neck of the nearest person with a time out kid on their car.
Minimum, 15 pieces.

To make you think you're surrounded by crying children.
I'm willing to bet serious money that at least 90% of the people who have them have no f-ing clue what they are supposed to mean. They just saw other people with them and thought they were "cute". 8% of them will give you some weird personal reasoning that actually doesn't make any sense. The remaining 2% are parked on top of them to piss off the other 98%.
I'd love to roll up to a classic car show in something resembling the '73 Plymouth from the cover of InSoc's Hack and do just that.
GAAA! Why can't I see the pics you're posting today?
Because your work filters the website he linked to.
I'm using imgur, but you are the second person in as many days to mention that the pics aren't loading… I think I'm going to have to use different hosting. Sorry about that.
The picture is of those crying or "hide-n-seek" dolls people lean on their cars at car shows.
I think the explanation is creepy empty nesters. Emphasis on creepy.

Apparently, [redacted] did an article on it. I'll save you the time by saying there was a gallery of them and the article consisted of, for the most part, "Aren't these weird?"

…to a number of elements in that post…
Why? Is something weird about this?

/shudders at the thought, thinks about nuclear power plant cooling towers to make the scary doll thoughts go away.
I looked at the picture before reading the description. It's still freaking me out. I wish your pictures weren't loading for me either…

I've never looked at a Smart FourTwo and said "wow that's cool" till now.
Thankfully, I could find no such device for the NSX:

Would that make this a 10 seater combo with lots of starage room? It looks like too much weight on the tow ball, but who cares
I didn't think you were serious about running this post
Honestly… I wasn't. But then I was desperate. And then I posted, went away from computer for the whole day and came back to this.
Holy shit. I'll keep reading the comments.

I've met John Runyan a few times and he is the biggest human I have ever seen. I'm 6'2" 240 lbs so I'm not small but he dwarfs me. Very nice guy BTW.
Him and Dawk are tied for my favorite Eagles. I have a feeling that the only time 6'3"+ 260+ lbs Defensive ends felt truly violated was after they played against Jon Runyan.
If they reversed the order of the cars in the Bimmer picture, they'd all look the same size.
Maybe, but the first would have to be 15 feet closer and the newest 10 feet further away.
I disagree!

And among the best in the universe….
A friend of mine moved across the country in a fc E100, and towing an fc E100 that was packed solid as a trailer. Flat towing and no tongue weight, with an angle iron tow bar he built in his front yard.. Too bad he didn't work up a way to do the braking in tandem, too. Wish I had a photo of that…
Obligatory Freeway plus Freeway, plus freeway:

I posted this video on [REDACTED] and gave you a hat tip – I take any chance I can to post more microcars!
Not quite the same thing. . . .
But I actually like this'n. Quite a lot.

This one fits under the heading of Worst Thing In The Universe, right next to them horrible things at the top:

I think a DS would make a pretty good one of your top pic. Although, that would be sacrilegious to chop up two DS.
"Rescuing" two with bad front end damage, though, saving them from becoming refrigerators and razor blades. . . That'd look nice.
A fine distinction. Although, Now I'm wondering what a H van towing one of those made with h vans would look like.
It would look like an H van towing a corrugated-steel shed, I'd assume.
What, you don't see the subtle curves and nuanced flow?
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/WikiHVan.jpg" width=500>
I do.
I'm thinking it would look like a corrugated-steel shed towing a corrugated-steel shed.
Now, if they'd used one of the big Harley cruisers and the front end of a Toronado, that would be a good answer for the "Classiest Redneckmobile".
Regrettably no, not until I get a second Freeway. The first one's already got a trailer hitch….
I know I am late as usual. I think this is awesome, don't care what you think.
