Intensely geeky things I'd love to own

[elfs]

I've been thinking about a new car recently, not that I can afford one. There was news yesterday that K.I.T.T. is up for sale, starting price $150,000.

But then I saw itasha and I knew my ride had come.

I'm just not that lonely.

Ahh, the toxic cute dump...

There are people I know...

But it's the last photo that actually managed to creep me out, with the life-size schoolgirl doll strapped into the passenger seat. I know that there's a company making expensive, very realistic, sex dolls, and they do an anime-style one. The exaggerations in that body-shape look grotesquely wrong. And it's nothing like what's in the car, but still...

But a lot of it looks as well-done as other car-art I've scene, and I'd rather see images like these than yet another hyper-pneumatic bikini babe in an attempt at air-brushed photo-realism.

What's that? The kids want a lifesize Totoro on the roof?

Low bridges...

Well, the cars aren't all that exciting, but the paint jobs sure are sweet.

Now, if I had the talent and the mini-van was in good enough shape...

Video, too
