My new (first) car is arriving today, and I need people's help to decide what I should do to it!

    Drive it? :p

    What kind of pimping are you thinking about? Painting? Adding some parts?

    making the inside much more comfortable for me to feel more happy inside
  • edited June 2010
    Ah. I had no clue you could change the inside. Ooh, do you mean by hanging plush dice to your mirror?
    Can't really help you with that I'm afraid, but good luck!

    What kind of car is it, incidentally?
  • edited June 2010
    A 2009 Mazda 2. Don't know if anyone outside of Australia knows of that.

    I wish I could hang fluffy dice, but we have a law that we can't hang stuff from the rear view mirror.

    Here are my pro tips:
    1. Fuzzy Dice and Royal Pine Air Freshener are a must.
    2. To provide good carma, add a Virgin Mary figurine next to the front windshield. If you follow another religion, add a small Buddha or Raptor Jesus instead.
    3. Rubber Ducky - Cut off the bottom and stick on your tow hitch.
    4. This one is tricky, but an insect trapped in amber or an 8-Ball can give the gearstick quite a look.
    5. Avoid bumper stickers - we don't want your car to look tacky.
    6. Since your automobile is now effectively a sex magnet, always keep extra protection in the glove box.

    You should get a hula-dancing Winslow for the dashboard.:p

    1. Definately
    2. Raptor Jesus or Zombie Jesus a must
    3. Doesn't have a hitch - it's a small car
    4. Automatic car
    5. Agreed
    6. I plan to.

    Picture for car-challenged people like me.

    If you can't hang stuff, what's left? A cover on the seats?
  • edited June 2010
    well, you can put stuff on the dash, etc...
  • edited June 2010
    They don't fall when you drive? (car dummy)
    I thought stuff on the dashboard would block you view... The only thing I ever put on the dashboard is my feet :p (The dashboard is the front of the car, right? under the front window?)

    Do you want them to be game-related stuff? Or were you just asking in general?

    I just had a brilliant idea: C.O.P.S.! :)

    YES! Definitely! Haha, that would be awesome!

    ^ this is a must!

    Also, if you are planning to pick up girls with this automotive, I suggest the following:

    Paint a mural of Melee Island on the outside (many girls like an artistic guy - also she'll find the stars romantic).

    Add seat covers with the map to the treasure of Melee Island on them (in case the conversation dwindles, she'll have something interesting to read while you're driving).

    You might also add some useful items in the backseat. A rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle is a must, in case of emergencies, and you should probably keep a red herring and two metal pots (with handles) that you can quickly put on in case of an oncoming collision (she'll appreciate you thought of her safety and feel as though you can protect her in case of a serious catastrophe).

    Surprised it wasn't advised yet.

    I love how sincere these suggestions are, while being completely awesome (to me)!

    :eek: I DEFINITELY need one of those! I want to but a DeLorean now!

    I would add:

    a felt pen and some paper (it doesn't have to be flint)
    one roll of toilet paper
    a road atlas (more fun than nav systems)
    a comfy pillow and a small blanket
    some filled water bottles
    good music
  • edited June 2010
    Some other good accessories would be well this or fuzzy dice.
    I know it's a bunch of stuff from the same site but I'm trying to keep it to stuff you can really get. If needed. And why go for the practical when the impractical is so much more fun.

    Well, at least get the steering wheel mounted iPad... a great enhancement to safety!

    Dear God! I need an iPad even MORE now!
  • edited June 2010
    I would say, welcome your first accident with something half baked like this on your wheel.

    It might sound surprising but when you're driving, you should drive and watch the traffic instead of reading something. Praising the rotation must kind of a joke as badly as this is implemented. This might cost you the crucial time you otherwise could have avoided an accident. How does the airbag work then? Will the iPad punch right into your face? Ridiculous and dangerous...

    Invest in a great roof rack, so you can "carry a spare" in the best way possible!

    taumel, the iPad steering wheel mount is just a joke. :)
  • edited June 2010
    Are you sure people also understand it this way?

    I mean i've seen enough people driving in city traffic and browsing some stuff on their iPhone for instance. :O/ I have very good reflexes, *pssst* can multitask, at least if i want to, and am driving since quite some time but still this would reduce my reaction time.

    Well I suppose there's a tiny chance that the website could inspire someone to duct tape their iPad to their steering wheel, but there's no accounting for human stupidity.

    Don't text and drive, kids.

    Honestly you probably don't need any of what we're suggesting. It's mostly all in fun. I'm glad your car looks great. Wish I was that proud about mine. But as much as mine is beat to hell, it runs so I can't complain.

    With an antenna in the front middle like that, you should have some sort of light antenna ball, like a Max or Strong Bad. I don't think these exist, so maybe you can get Avistew to knit one for you.

    what do you mean an antenna in the front middle? it doesnt have an antenna

    Wouldn't it be awesome to have a mini, golden hood ornament of Max when he's riding the hood of the DeSoto?

    well, i dont notice antennas, so maybe... yep, there it is. but it wouldnt be able to support much

    Give it excessive amounts of exhaust pipes, and a rusty metal paint job. Then dress up in a weird dieselpunk costume everywhere you go. If that doesn't get you laid, nothing will.

    And also, a clown nose. You never know when one is going to come in handy. Trust me on this one.

    I carry one in my car and it did indeed end up being needed last summer to blend in with a random onslaught of clowns.

    I know I'm going to regret saying this but this sounds like a potentially interesting story.

    You should never regret asking about something that has a strong chance of being ridiculous. Besides, as a lot of the people in the office know, I always have great stories, that's what life's all about.

    This story actually begins with how I procured the clown nose. I have friends down in Los Angeles that do an annual pub crawl and the year before last, ours intersected with an Australian rugby team who were all wearing clown noses, because that's what you do when you're on holiday for a rugby tournament. The crawls merged and I started chatting up some of the cuter players (because that's what I do) and one of them, I'm not sure why, all of a sudden dropped for 20 pushups and gave me his clown nose which I then wore the rest of the evening.

    Once I was able to drive home, I decided to keep it in my car because you really never know when one might come in handy. Fast forward to August of last year when a friend called to tell me about an impromptu annual parade down by the beach in San Diego (Ocean Beach for those of you who know the area) that would end in a giant bonfire. The theme? Clowns. I, of course, grabbed my camera and clown nose and got down there asap.

    Some of what I shot there (some foul language and intoxication)
