Pimp My Pac: Pac-Man Pimps Out Yet Another Ride

pimp-pacman-car

There’s something about Pac-Man that draws car owners to paste him all over their vehicles. This car might not have the gullwing doors have the last Pac car we posted about, but what it does have is an additional dose of Packy flair.

Everything down to the rims is adorned with Pac-love, and I’m simply loving the custom leather upholstery. This is one retro gaming-mobile I would not be embarrassed to rock around my town.

Pac-Man Car with Gullwing Doors

I don’t recall how many Pac-Man-themed cars I might have seen in my life, but this is no doubt the coolest, even if it’s only for the totally rad gullwing doors.

Flickr user CarlaDallas took a shot of the awesome vehicle and uploaded it for your viewing pleasure. The details are scant so the owner is nowhere to be found, but damn, if this ever goes on the market, throw a call our way.

Tekken Fanboy or Unhappy Car Owner?

tekken-car

Is the owner of this car a fan of Tekken? I can’t tell. I can’t even make out the car with all of the Tekken crap pasted all over the place. This is a car, right?

If the car owner isn’t a Tekken fan, I feel bad for them once they see what the vandals did to their ride.

Holy shit. Do you see what I see? I think so. It looks like a fucking pizza oven that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter. Amazing. Forget delivery; I can only imagine going 80 down I-95 while popping in a fresh DiGiorno with the works. What will they think of next?

$36 and an extra $100 a month on your car insurance bill.

Nike+ System Hacked To Open Car Doors

Using an Arduino, hacker knowledge and a Nike+ iPod Serial to USB adapter, Nathan Seidle was able to rig up a system that constantly checks for his keyfob. When Nate gets close enough to his car, it opens up. When he walks away, it locks. The system worked flawlessly until he realized that while at work, the car would randomly lock and unlock due to his pacing around the office. The fix? Aluminum foil. A classic solution to blocking radio waves. If you want to make your own, instructions are available.

The Ford 021c Concept Car

Ford O21C Concept

Ten years ago, this little bugger known as the 021c concept from Ford was unveiled. Universally despised, the car never made it to production due to the wild, radical design of Marc Newson, a furniture designer who had never worked on a car in his life. Sure, back in 1999, consumers weren’t ready for shit like this. But in today’s carefree world, I’m sure the 021c concept would do Ford some good.
