It's coming to Seattle and my buddies and I are going to make a car for it

So far our ideas are:

a) Scooby Doo Van
b) Regular VW Bug
c) Stagecoach
d) Giant bong with the bowl being the driver seat
e) Tank
f) Death Star


GO

    The car from the end of Animal House.

    A giant, naked fat man. Use Azamat Bagatov from Borat as reference.

    The stagecoach idea seems to be the group favorite so far

    whatever the design, be sure to make it's paint scheme predominately red, ensuring that it will go faster.

    Well shit, if you're invoking that logic then you might as well go all-out Orky.

    how about combining your ideas and making a dancing dong with a huge spoiler that says "Hermione dies" on it?

    i dont know what this race is but maybe you could do some physics analysis and determine whether it would be better to carry some extra weight at the start and periodically lose some of it as you drive along

    basically what i am saying is make a car in the shape of a giant butt or like a cat with the tail sticking up and drop brown sandbags out the back

    This got a pretty good chuckle out of me. Its times like that that make me glad I have my own office.

    Further - make a large replica of a classroom, and then have an asian guy come out and....

    Too soon?

    Sort of related, it appears that the Red Bull Flugtag is returning to Austin this year. http://www.redbullflugtagusa.com/
    My basic problem is that I actually want to fly, not just plummet into the lake in a humorous manner. I expect that with unlimited resources such things are possible but apparently so is building your own spaceship and I haven't exactly done that yet either.

    On the topic of the Soapbox race I think I'd try to make a vehicle that looked like a herd of angry bulls (well, 4 or 5 at any rate) with the driver in the front dressed like one of the suicidal youths from the Pamplona event. If you can make the legs of the bulls move or just wave in the breeze or something even better. That's more of a style thing though. I expect that it would be tough to make something looking like that move quickly.

    Or, in the theme of the mystery machine you could make the A-team van, especially since your crew is allowed to be four people. You have the driver dressed up like BA and have Hannibal, Face, Murdock as pit crew.

    They do a thing a bit like this at one of the ski areas near where i grew up.
    There where no big elaborate designs like the red bull thing. Usually it was something like a few dudes on a sofa screwed to some old snowboards just hauling ass down the slope.
    People would get all hurt. It was great.
