People Named Kat Must Be Stopped

Not photo'd below is the purple Saturn with the SAT4CAT plate, that I have seen 3 times now, yet could not safely snap a photo.

Spotted in downtown San Diego, I THINK it says "Lucky Cat 5"

PS IMDON



Is he Don?  Or is he done?

I don't know why, perhaps it is because I am so used to seeing all the douchey misspellings, but I first interpreted this one as him being done.  As in, maybe this was his retirement vehicle.

On second thought, I don't think so.  I think his name is Don.

This falls  under the "WHO CARES?!" category.  Who cares?  All I know is that Don over here took beautiful classic Porsche and made it stupid.

PS - Sorry Don, I'm done.

What in the hell is this Mini Cooper doing?




Going to Da Club?

Unless 50 Cent is driving this car (and I am 100% sure he does NOT drive a Mini Cooper) this is just unacceptable.

In fact, it would be unacceptable even if Fiddy was driving this car.  In Da Club came out 12 years ago.

No.

No, no, no, no, NO!

Just stop.

#TheDoose

In honor Memorial Day I would like to celebrate by sharing a stupid car done right.

Yes, it’s “stupid”, but it is also clever, funny, fun, and AWESOME.

Please meet The Doose.


The most American car I have seen.




The Doose is, for lack of a better term, a "community car".  A couple of friends of mine went together and purchased this road warrior and started making alterations.  The Doose is spectacular.  It is a wood panel station wagon with the top cut off.  Yes, just cut right off.  With a Sawzall. 


Sawzalls literally saw all.   


The Doose is good for any occassion, weather not a factor

If you are on Instagram, you can look up the hashtag #thedoose and you will be able to find several videos of The Doose in action. 

The Doose is brilliant.  




The Doose is an example of a vanity plate done well.  It’s a weird, bizarre car, it REQUIRES a weird plate.  If you haven’t noticed yet, the plate says JUMPIN, which is supposed to mean Jump In (as opposed to Jumpin’), since the logistics of The Doose would allow such an activity to take place.  You could absolutely chase after this car and leap in.  

I know them.  If you are cool in any way (which, let's face it, if you're reading this blog, you must be), they would be ok with it.




So you happen to be in the Indianapolis area and see this one car parade rolling down the road, give them a smile.  Tell them you saw them here and they will probably give you a hug.  Tell them Cheyenna sent you.

The magnitude and majestic beauty of this land yacht gone right deserves all the accolades in the world.  Good on you boys!

Congratulation, your car does NOT make you look stupid.

PINKSTA

I am a touch OCD, and very visual.  I can design an award winning PowerPoint presentation, decorate a room like nobody's business, and judge people's cars.

I cannot, ever, drive a car that clashes with my license plate.

I know that seems strange, but I just could never do it.

Utah for example has a license plate that is blue and orange, but the worst offender is Idaho.

Idaho is a dark bloody red sky with blue mountains.  It's the worst.  Luckily, most vehicles are a color where the plate doesn't matter.  White, black, blue, green, but this... this is horrific.




Not only, is this car painted aggressively pink, but the clashing vanity plate is attacking my corneas.

If your car is so important to you that not only would you have a custom plate made, but you would have it custom painted, you should consider the license plate as part of the car.

Perhaps go for a more subtle color.

Perhaps not be stupid.

This is clearly asking a lot.

Let's forget about the color of the license plate for a moment.  Even if I find that the most offensive, I know I am in the minority.  Let's just focus on the overall stupidness of this car.

1) it is the color of Pepto Bismol, which is fitting because it is making me sick.
2) it has naked ladies as the license plate frame
3) PINKSTA

PINKSTA?  What does that mean?  Does that mean Pink Gangta?  Pinksta is not defined by Urban Dictionary.  When I google Pinksta just a bunch of nonsense comes up.

Is this just the name of the car? Am I to assume this is someone's nickname that they then transformed their car into?  Or is it the other way around?  Did they make this douchemobile and then acquire the nickname?

When I was in college I knew a basketball player who everyone called The Wedge.  I found out later it was actually spelled WEJ, because it was based on the license plate of his orange lowrider truck.  Not because he had a vanity plate, that just happened to be the 3 letters assigned to him and someone started calling him and his truck The WEJ.

This is clearly not that since no random alphanumeric system would be able to happen to throw PINKSTA together no matter how many times you pressed retry.

Whichever way you slice it, this is a stupid car.

Putting this much effort, time, and money into customizing an Idahoan Celica is overall just a bad idea.

Knock it off, your car makes you look stupid.

SBWINNR

Last month I posted about RAIDRR, a stupid car driven by an idiot member of the Raider Nation.  As a die hard Seahawks fan, I was challenged to find a Seahawks license plate stupid as well.

I'm not gonna lie, I questioned whether or not it could be done.  I wondered if my love for my own team would trump my hatred of stupid license plates.

The answer?

No.  It does not.

This license plate is stupid.  And I hate it.  No matter how much I relate to the team pride, I do not relate to this.




Part of the fun of this blog is that people are sharing it (please, keep sharing it) so friends and family of mine are getting photos to pass along to me.  Thank you.  Keep it up.  Another option is to post photos to my facebook page, Your Car Makes You Look Stupid.  I have plenty I've gotten from friends I'm just waiting to write about.  This is one of those photos.

A former co-worker of my brother sent this photo from Redmond, WA.

As you can see, there is a Seahawk logo incorporated into the plate.  That, I do not have a problem with, if you have a team, go ahead and support your team, just don't try to be cute with the plate number.

Yes.  My beloved Seahawks dominated the Superbowl.  Yes, they are a team that everyone doubted and gets shit on all the time.  Yes, we 12s are very, VERY proud of our team.  That said, you look like an idiot.

Accompanying this photo sent to my brother was this:

" Look at this douche.  I seriously doubt that anyone driving a Honda Accord has anything to do with the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl this year!"

Wise words, sir, wise words.

So, to wrap it up, love your team, just don't be stupid.  Thank you.
