Passion of The Christ, shag carpeting, and unicorns

After hauling in our late Brezhnev-era chariot, we peered inside, and miraculously started putting off work on this thing for weeks on end. We did, however, keep our spirits up by taking the opportunity to conjure up theme ideas for our prized entry.

We initially defaulted to a "B-movie knockoff" Mad Max Police Interceptor theme, since it loosely resembeled it, we could beat up some bums, steal their 55gal fire barrels to make the faux gas tanks, and save a fortune by painting it all with the same flat-black paint we'll use on our one-off super awesome grille. That same one-off super awesome grille our multi-year meat-judging team leader will use to cook up Texas' finest BBQ for the extremely hard working, courteous, and talented LeMon's judging team. However, we felt that due to Mel Gibson's involvement, this theme drew too many parallels with the Passion of The Christ, not to mention that none of us felt like wearing leather chaps and chains.

Some time had passed and I thought to myself "the Dumb & Dumber grooming van could work!" This theme suffered a quick death when we realized that A. finding 5000 sq. ft. of shag carpeting would be tough, B. even if we found that much shag carpeting, it would pose a serious fire hazard, and C. given this car's penchant for all things unprotected, all it would take is one prick from a needle buried deep within this shag carpeting of dubious origin, and it's game over.

This left us in quite the bind. We couldn't think of a theme because really, who the hell drives Mustangs IIs anymore? In my numerous automotive journies, I've yet to see one running and driving, and began to think that the idea of running and driving Mustang IIs were like mythical creatures that once roamed the earth. Yes, you read the title when finding your way to this blog: we're going with UNICORNS!

More to come...
