I’m sure from time to time you’ve passed a car with some. They seem like they’re everywhere. Family Car Stickers. You know the little stick figure decals that represent your family. A mommy and daddy, stick parents usually followed up by stick kids. Sometimes seen with pets as well. Ah. the American Dream. Husband, wife, 2.5 kids and a dog right?

I’m not a parent yet (will be quite a while too). But I’m a big fan of them the decals. I think they’re pretty cute. I could go ahead and just stick my wife and myself on our car. But I think we’re going to wait, till we at least have pets. Don’t want our stick couple looking lonely on the back of our Malibu. Although, I’m sure we could count the doggies at Heather’s parents. Sweet Pups!

I’ve even seen some interesting combination of the figures. Sometimes they’ll stick-on grandma and grandpa. I’ve even seen step-parents (one of the parents crossed out and replaced). Some families would take up a whole rear glass I’m sure (especially southern redneck families, hey I’m from the south). Have you seen any interesting family car stick families? If so, comment up! If you don’t have a set. You can find them cheap on Amazon. Don’t let your back glass go bare!

No luck yet. On finding the step parent one. I may have to post a photoshop’d version of what I saw. However I did find a decal for people who don’t like family car stickers! The caption reads “No one cares about your stick figure family!” You can find these as well below.

Since I’ve been unsuccessful in finding the a photo of the step-parent family car sticker. I decided to recreate it! So here ya go!

Here’s the second batch of mini-figs/mini-kits of the 2009 Lego City Advent calendar! Please be advised the following images may contain spoilers. I apologize to anyone who may have not received their calendar yet or have not kept it up to date. Hope you enjoy!

Lego Advent Calendar Dec. 1st – 6th 2009

I decided to get back into model cars a little bit this winter. I finished up a 1955 Chevy Truck model a few weeks ago. I thought I would post up images and share them with you. I found this kit at a discount store for five bucks. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with that. The instructions for model kits used to give you a lot of background about the cars/trucks you were building. This kit didn’t provide much other then the fact it was a truck with a V8 engine. So I had to use my imagination and come up with my own specs.

Engine: Chevrolet Small-block V8, 383 Displacement, Edelbrock dress up kit.

Transmission: 4 speed muncie, with a Hurst truck shifter.

Ok, enough with the specs. You get the idea. But anyways. Below are some of the pictures of the finish product! Hosted the images using Flickr. Going to try to do more with my Flickr account. With the use of a few plugins for WordPress it makes it really easy to incorporate your Flickr profile in your WordPress Blog. Hopefully in the future, I’ll have some more pictures of model builds to show ya.
