Burtle
The VW Beetle is one of the most beloved nameplates in automotive history. It’s taken many different shapes over the years, evolving from its classic bug look to something a bit sleeker. However, we guarantee you that VW didn’t anticipate it ever taking this shape.
Watermelon Car
What’s green on the outside and red on the inside? If you answered “watermelons, obviously”, you’d only be half correct, because you would have excluded the glorious sedan you see before you now. We’re at least 70% certain that this isn’t a stock paint job, but whoever was responsible for giving it such vibrant coloring and texturing was clearly a pro!
Modern-Day Cinderella
We’re all familiar with the story of Cinderella, right? It’s the quintessential rags-to-riches yarn that us working-class folks love. A key element of the story is how Cinderella’s everyday surroundings are magically transformed by her fairy godmother, like when a pumpkin is turned into a glorious carriage fit for a princess. And if this old bug is anything to go by, there may be more truth to that story than we ever realized.
Wind-Up Smart Car
The Smart ForTwo is often praised for its size and zippy handling, which make it the perfect car for tight, clustered urban environments. That said, a common criticism of this vehicle is that its design is a little too… toyetic? Clearly, the owner of this one seems to agree.
Luminescent Sports Car
We could be wrong here, but we’re almost certain that there are specific laws that prevent cars from being so brightly colored that they’re enough to induce epileptic seizures in innocent bystanders. The owner of this car clearly didn’t get the memo, however.
Holographic BMW
Ditto for the owner of this vehicle. We were all taken with those holographic prints when we were kids, which changed color and image depending on the angle you looked at it. That’s hardly what we want to see in a vehicle, however.
A Box and Four Wheels
Unless you really had a knack for art as a kid, it’s likely that all the cars you used to draw when you were younger resembled the monstrosity you see before you now: nothing more than a box and four wheels to prop it up. Well, at least it’s utilitarian.
Lightning McMeth
The Cars franchise ends on a bittersweet note, with Lightning McQueen having fallen from grace and forced to live out the rest of his days in a rundown shack in Radiator Springs, where he abuses all kinds of substances to escape his sadness. At least, that’s what we got from this car.
Downward Dog
If you know nothing about cars, you may be surprised by the variety of different wheels there are. Typically, a vehicle can only take one kind of wheel in order to be considered safe to drive, unless you’re the owner of this vehicle, who clearly knows better.
What Kind of Mini Is This?
We’ve already seen a Smart ForTwo on this list, which typically ranks as one of the smallest vehicles you can get your hands on. Of course, any car is capable of shrinking if you put it in the dryer for too long. Just take it from this guy.
They Drive Now? They Drive Now!
Although planes and other aircraft do have wheels, they’re primarily defined by their ability to… well, fly. You’d be mighty disappointed if your new private aircraft couldn’t take off and was instead permanently grounded by a heavy VW chassis and four large wheels.
Dra-Car-Ys
You may recall this little show by the name of Game of Thrones. It was a pop cultural milestone at one point, before the last few seasons drove it off a cliff. It left such an indelible mark on viewers that folks were naming their kids Daenerys… and customizing their cars with full-size dragon statues, apparently.
Steampunk
Steampunk isn’t so much a genre as it is an aesthetic, defined by big pipes and gears all covered in bronze. Needless to say, it’s a unique and anachronistic look that seems entirely out of place regardless of the context (except maybe fan conventions). But we have to admit that this steampunk cruiser kind of rules.
The Avocardo
Amazingly, this is now the second fruit-inspired car on this list. But whereas the watermelon-mobile was clearly just a sedan with a funny paint job, this four-wheeler actually looks like an avocado on wheels.
Lol - Run
Taillights have to meet certain standards in order to be considered road-legal. Specifically, they need to actually shine, but their exact shape doesn’t need to conform to any expectations. At least, that’s what we’re led to believe based on this vehicle’s taillights, which spell out “Lol” and “Run”.
What Killed the Dinosaurs? Carbon Emissions.
It’s fun to consider that our vehicles are actually powered by dinosaurs (or at least, their fossils). The owner of this vehicle clearly has a strong appreciation for irony. It helps that the dinosaurs glued to the hood are also musicians.
Hot Wheels
We don’t know about you guys, but Hot Wheels used to be some of the coolest toys when we were growing up. Many of us amassed huge collections of the miniature vehicles, not knowing if they would ever be worth anything one day. Clearly, though, enthusiasm for these toys hasn’t died if this car’s anything to go by.
Yeet
Lo and behold, we’ve got yet another epilepsy trigger on wheels. We’re not entirely sure what the obsession with highly reflective paint jobs is about. Still, we did get a chuckle from this vehicle’s unique number plate. Yeet!
Nissan Shark
The Nissan Shark is not a real nameplate, but this particular vehicle makes for a great concept vehicle. It’s a mean-looking car that we wouldn’t ever want to encounter on the highway at night.
Liam Nissan
Acclaimed Hollywood regular Liam Neeson has graced our screens for decades at this point. Now, for the first time ever, he’s going to be gracing our roads as well. We’re not really sure if this was a real collaboration between Neeson and Nissan, but we can appreciate a good pun regardless.
Sad Transformer
Technically, as long as it’s got four wheels and an engine, a car can pretty much be any shape you want it to be. Of course, some styles are more practical than others. We’re not entirely sure how well this Depressicon handles on the road with its angled wheels and sad shape.
Velvet Mercedes
Mercedes-Benz is one of the most prestigious automakers in history. It’s only fitting that their luxury status be backed up with some luxury materials. That velvet body must be hard to clean, but we wonder why they didn’t opt for silk instead.
Mer-Sssss-Edes-Bensssss
If velvet wasn’t luxurious enough for you, then why not try a little snakeskin on for size? Mercedes makes some very nice-looking cars, but this is the first one that would actually frighten us on the road.
BMW? No, BBL
Plenty of people, for one reason or another, will undergo cosmetic surgery to enhance certain… features. But while butt and boob implants don’t look completely out of place on a person, they certainly do on a car!
The Bunker
Cars need to be carefully constructed in order to be considered road-legal and safe to drive. Normally, that means choosing the right design and materials to ensure its sturdiness and longevity. In this case, however, it seems the makers drew inspiration from World War II bunkers and Dalek heads, which may be a bit overboard.
Purple Rain
The legendary musician Prince was taken from us too soon, but he left an indelible mark on popular culture and history as a whole, inspiring millions of people all around the world. We can’t say that this particular vehicle was inspired by the legendary singer directly, but we do feel an immense urge to start guitar soloing just by looking at it.
Gloria
As our list has clearly demonstrated again and again, you really can base your car on anything you want. What’s funny about this one is that it actually kind of works in a weird way.
Dark Academia Car
Much like steampunk, dark academia isn’t really a genre - it’s a style, defined by its obsession with boarding schools, dimly lit studies, and quill-written journals. This particular vehicle more or less fits that style, but we also get some pretty strong Gothic vibes.
SpongeBob
The great thing about car customization is that you can really curate your vehicle to match your specific personality and interests. With that being said, it’s anybody’s guess as to what this vehicle owner is a fan of…
Swedish Engineering
Leave it to the Europeans to build their cars far sturdier than everybody else. You know what they say: Volvos are built like tanks, but this is the first one we’ve seen that actually looks like a tank.
Canadian Christmas
We’ve already had steampunk and dark academic-inspired vehicles, but this one might be the most outrageous of them all: Canada-core. Honestly, if you’ve never been to Canada before, we wouldn’t blame you for being confused about what that country is even about at this point, based on this vehicle alone.
Rollerblade (Life-Size)
If you were known to rollerblade every now and then when you were a kid, this impressive vehicle should stir up some fond memories for you. We can’t say whether or not it’s actually appealing to look at, but the execution is flawless.
Bionicle Car
When we first set eyes on this entry, we thought that the vehicle had been involved in a devastating accident. As it turns out, it looks like that by design.
They Say Duct Tape Can Fix Anything
Duct tape truly is one of the most versatile products you can get your hands on. Not only is it good for patching things up and sealing two objects together, it apparently also works as a great substitute paint for 90s-style sedans!
Poke-Car
As mentioned previously, you can customize your car in any way you like (within legal limits, of course) to reflect your unique personality and interests. It’s anyone’s guess as to what this owner is a fan of, however.
