Ad-Horrible
They're, at the same time, adorable and horrible. I can't quite land on either one. Yes, I'm talking about eyelashes for your car.
Of course, they work better on your Mini Cooper than on your Ford 300 Miles Of Alaskan Tundra On Wheels. Or...do they?
On one hand, these are really stupid, and on the other, anything to make people smile in traffic so they won't go all "Fuck you, bitch, I'm running you off the road to get to work 30 seconds faster," is a really great addition to modern society.







Personally, I wouldn't put them on my car, but they might look cute on a little compact car. Maybe.

I wouldn't want them on a car I was driving, but my wife might.
However, if they offered bushy eyebrows and nose grill...

They are in much less deplorable taste than the truck testicles.

I like them. Definately need a cute small car though. On a related note to eyelashes, you can order surgical glue online, buy some individual fake eyelashes, and give yourself eyelash extentions at home. They last weeks, and you save the $250 it costs to have them done.

They should sell a very large set of bolt-cutters to emasculate the cars with testicles. I'd get them...and use them.

@momof4: Did you give yourself extensions? I'd be scared of gluing my eyes shut.
ahw at April 8, 2011 7:13 AM
I did. Just take one lash at a time, dip the end in a teeny amt of the surgical glue, and place it. Have to hold it in place 8 seconds to bond. With the singles, glueing them shut isn't a worry :) With a whole strip at once, I'd worry about that.

What if the driver is ugly?
JD at April 8, 2011 8:42 AM
This would be great - my husband would be so embarrassed to be seen in my car that he'd always make us take the Corvette...which I cannot drive...ergo I never have to DD again and don't have to use up my own gas!!! Brilliant!

The presence of TruckNutz is a prime indicator that the driver is a douchebag, and you should back off several hundred feet.

I thought these to be really stupid, but then remembered that my convertible has a bra...

They should be made for the blinkers, not the headlights....

Some of our friends are getting married in Europe right now, and as a special "wedding gift," we're putting "Los (LastName)s" in Old English letters, and possibly a Virgin of Guadalupe, in sticky letters on the back of their Prius.

"What's next for cars? Thongs?"
Lipstick for the grille and a tramp stamp on the rear bumper.

Isn't that what all the liberal hippie tree-hugger granola-eater bumper stickers are? Everyone knows hippie girls are easy. If you can get past the patchouli anyhow.

If I had a VW Bug, I would totally do this. I think you really need the rounded headlights to pull it off.
In the interest of super-cute, anyone else seen this?

I kinda love them.
NicoleK at April 9, 2011 1:33 AM
Daghain, that's adorable!
Patrick at April 9, 2011 2:42 AM
I think they are cute. However, I do not think there is anything wrong with the 'bumper nuts' on trucks. The idea that female attributes are more acceptable than male attributes is nothing but cultural prejudice.
ken at April 9, 2011 4:51 PM
Nothing to do with cultural prejudice. Every person I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with that had truck nuts has been an absolute douchebag.
No exceptions.
And douchebags are about as unmanly as a man can get and still have a Y chromosome.
