Huh. I actually saw one for the first time in person yesterday too. On the way back from a camping trip, in a little village surrounded by corn fields.

It really i the ugliest car I've ever seen. Including the car Homer designed in the Simpsons.

Couple of weeks ago I saw several, all parked next to each other, in a parking lot. Assumed it was some car club, or people going to some car event. Anyway, seeing them all lined-up like that, made me realize just how out of place they looked. They looked fake, like mock-ups, or something. It was weird. I have seen a lot of very highly stylized cars, lots of specialty vehicles designed for industrial, and military, use and never have I gotten that vibe. The only other time I got the same feeling was when one of the Nolan batman movies was being filmed near where I worked, and they had the "bat" vehicles parked in a private lot I passed, on my way to work. Getting to see them up close, and in person, really made it clear that they were fake vehicles, that required distance, and editing/cgi, to look real.

Homer's car was pretty cool...

two bubble domes, with muzzles and restraints in the back
shag carpet
tailfin and metal bowler hood ornament
three horns to play the song "La Cucaracha".
gigantic cupholders (which actually became a feature on many cars in the 1990s onward)

I agree on all points but the shag carpet.

It's never a good idea, or cool, unless it's The Mystery Van.

I will respect your choice to put it places, though.

Like, zoinks! That’s just, like, your take on it, man!

You do bring up a valid point.

Shag carpets are acceptable as long as they really tie the room together.
