Mamma’s off to pick up a new set of wheels today, in honor of my big girl purchase, here are some pics of cars I had to pass up (damn those artsy scandinavians!)
even though I’m getting a volvo (my 4th one in 14 years thankyouverymuch) unfortunately it’s not one of these ferociously patterned beasts. If I had a million dollars and / or the ability to pirate a cargo ship from sweden I’d probably pick the diagonal stripped one, you know, for subtlety:
which would you choose? come on, pretend you’re lil Kim or Miriah Carey and really want to show the world your tacky side:
Because, oddly enough, I have not mastered any of the Nordic languages, I really can’t tell you much about these gems, except that they’re only sold in the Netherlands. Of course.
I’m pretty stoked on the (not so new) volvo I’m buying today, but once Michael Phelps is done all his press appearances (thanks for the round the clock updates, Nerdy Fashionista) he promised to buy me this:
what’s that you say? You can’t tell that this Lamborghini is totally tricked out in sharpie graffiti? Here are some close ups:

Nerdy and I are going to look so hot when we pull up with Michael at the Goldbar (we won’t even need that silly reservation)
PS. Since you’re probably procrastinating on this Friday afternoon, you should totally check out the VOLVO site, they let you play decorate-your-car-party, you can pick patterns for the body, colors for the trim, as well as seat and rug colors… sort of like the vans site for people with money.

I think I like the blue and bronze ombre…
I’ve never fetishized a car before, but that Lamborghini is calling my name.
I also want to bust out the Sharpie and get busy on our car…
These are so crazy! And very neat too!
How very un-Volvo-like (in my best WASP-y lockjaw). The Lamborghini makes total sense, because any car priced over $100K should have a hideous paint job that says “Look at me! Look at me! I’m crass and don’t give a toss about anyone but myself. And I have a small penis.”
We’ve got a smokin’ hot neon blue Honda Fit. The only reason I’ll be seen driving a car that color is that we got a helluva a deal. I love the car and hope to get the 2010 hybrid (perhaps in silver or black) when we return Stateside next year. My former work BFF (still a BFF) would taunt me when LB came to pick me up. “Hey, Papa and Baby Smurf are here!”
I think my station wagons would look so awesome with a lil’ sharpie fest on them. Mama could be stylin’ and profilin’ it to Mother’s Morning Out. I’ve always despised the term “graphics package” and when I see a car with any embellishment I get a tad upchucky. Yeah, you heard me right. Upchucky.
WTF is up with the Netherlands?
