Take a couple rolls each of red and white reflective tape and apply alternating horizontal strips of each to every surface of your car’s body, leaving just the windows and lights exposed. Now it has a brightness of 900 candlepower.

Next, install a gymnasium on the roof. Workout with the exercise bike above the driver’s side and use the swiveling inversion table above the passenger side to relieve back pain. Add ten-foot poles with pink and blue furry tails to each end of the exercise equipment. Wrap the gymnasium with more red and white reflective tape and aluminum foil.

Add a longhorn steer skull (also covered in aluminum foil) to the front hood. Be sure to attach three-foot tall candy canes (with pink and blue furry tails) to the tips of each horn.

Regular looking tires are not entertaining. White wall tires are better. Paint the walls of all tires white. And cover the hubcaps with red reflective tape and a candy cane also made with reflective tape.

The car must be rocket powered, of course. Situate dual rocket boosters mounted to a not aerodynamic snowboard spoiler on an inverted bicycle rack on the trunk lid. Apply more red and white reflective tape stripes to the rocket engines. Be sure to wear an astronaut helmet (blue visor version) whenever driving.

I had seen the The Candy Cane Car two previous times — first, while driving on the highway and a couple years later, parked at the airport. On this third encounter day, it was “docked” across from the airport and I actually got a chance to spend time checking it out up close and in person. It is amazingly ridiculous and nonsensical. The owner — PogoDave — really wears the astronaut helmet when driving it.
