50 Of The Funniest Cars That People Have Stumbled Upon In The Streets And Just Had To Take Pics Of
If I had to name one funny-looking car on the spot, the first thing that would pop into my mind is the Fiat Multipla. Having gained somewhat of a cult status, these whimsical six-seaters have been dividing people since their launch in 1998. After the Multiplas were discontinued in 2010, their legend still continues to this day.
But it turns out, they are not the only funny cars that would raise a brow or two. Humans have been notorious for putting their automobiles on a whole new level of hilarity, for one reason or the other, or sometimes purely out of an urge to experiment.
The result of these experiments is wrapped up in this list curated by Bored Panda, which will make us all question the notion of a vehicle, and what happens when function and design are challenged in the most ingenious ways. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

To find out more about what’s buzzing in the automobile market right now and what people are wanting to see in their cars right now, Bored Panda spoke with Saule Magomedovienė-Lengvenytė, an industrial and automotive designer, who shared some very interesting insights with our readers.
It turns out that just like interior design and fashion, automobiles also have trends. Lengvenyte explained that “when creating a design of a vehicle, one of the biggest challenges is to foresee the future trends. This is because creating an automobile takes much longer than other products, for example, clothes.”

“At the moment, electric cars are the biggest hit among the newest car models. And when it comes to future conceptions, we see a trend in autonomous solutions,” Lengvenyte explained. She added that designers now try to adapt many car models for car-sharing systems.
When asked what’s her view of odd-looking and more unusual car models like Fiat Multipla, Lengvenyte believes that Multipla’s creators have surely achieved if not surpassed their goals. “It’s very rare that a good design receives that much attention,” she said.

There are many different criteria that drivers are looking at when choosing their automobile. That includes their lifestyle, values, and financial abilities, the automotive designer argues.
“The most important criteria is the customer’s needs, therefore it’s important to formulate some key points in the beginning of each project. They include: what driver will be driving this model (what do they like, where are they going to use it, what are they going to bring with them, etc.) Things like what kind of environment the automobile is going to be used in are also important, and can vary from city to race, or off-road, and so on.”

This Steam Punk Cruiser Is Just Awful
You don't. There's no way this is street legal. It has to be a show vehicle that's only used for events like parades and whatnot. Other than that it's towed.
Load More Replies...It's probably not street legal, but I bet they drive it anyway. Wonder how many tickets they've racked up, lol

Now if the car itself was colored different shades of copper.... it would be sublime ;)
Awful cause it's PT Cruiser, Awesome cause work is very nice.
Other than the hood ornaments/parts, I'd happily drive this steampunk mobile anywhere.
I like it, I might take some of the stuff off the hood and roof makes it seem busy and clunky, but the basic idea is interesting.
It’s really cool in my taste. Prolly the only pt cruiser I would drive. Not that I dislike them, I just would choose something else first… unless this was a readily available option for me
Awesome in terms of aesthetics, horrible in terms of everything else
As a huge fan of steampunk, I greatly appreciate this and also WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THIS
Looks neat, but is it actually road legal? Don't think it would pass muster here in Canada. (Distractions & loss of field of view.)
Looks like a 19th century madman tinkered with it and this was the result
that would be really cool if it wasn't on such a crapfest car. nothing can make a PT cruiser cool
Just when you thought you couldn't make a PT Cruiser any more ugly.
There are about 1.446 billion vehicles on Earth in 2022, according to automotive market research data by Hedges&Company. About 19% of those vehicles are in the United States. Meanwhile, Asia has over a third of all vehicles on this planet with a whopping 531 million vehicles on the roads in the far east.

Moreover, the same data showed that the average age of trucks has remained relatively unchanged at around 11.6 years, but the average age of cars is approaching 13. The US fleet has gotten progressively older over the past decade, as consumers hold on to their cars and trucks longer.
With the slowdown in new vehicle sales due to the pandemic, the age of the average vehicle in the US will continue to creep upwards.

Meanwhile, the experts claim that the future of cars is largely electric. Unlike internal combustion vehicles, the emissions from electric vehicles are zero when in use and are instead concentrated on the production of the vehicle and the power supply.
That means that the production of an electric car battery requires mineral resources, the extraction of which has an undeniable environmental impact, and their refining, like the production of batteries, also consumes energy. In the production phase of the vehicle, electric cars emit more greenhouse gases (in addition to other environmental impacts) than combustion cars, because of the addition of the battery.

Gotta wonder how most of these get through inspection. Or is there no automobile inspection in the US? Half of these look like wood, metal, bits and pieces could come flying off at any point. (the other half, though, look kinda cool).
Some states have vehicle inspections which are taken seriously, some states have "vehicle inspections" which are only for emissions, and some states have regions in which there are no inspections of any kind.
Load More Replies...While some of them look really nice, I am glad we have rules and regulations for this kind of stuff here.
Sometimes I like a good laugh. Aside from the impractical aspect, these pics are just delightful
Either some of these people live where they never have to brush the snow off their car, or they are way more patient than I am every winter.
This is exactly the kind of thing I need to read first thing in the morning 😂
Well, first people take time for their hobbies. Second, maybe they were custom made by their garagist. I've heard of people taking 5-10 years to revamp a Corvette or something similar. Instead of playing games or watching TV, they work on the car.

I wish local car shows had these instead of every single rich kid in town showing their automatic transmission sport car.
theres a jeep near my work thats entirely pikachu themed- yellow paint, pikachu tail rear windshield wiper, pikachu seat covers, pokeball spare tire cover, and theres even a tiny pokeball stuck to the back windshield like it was thrown at it

There used to be an old "Ghostbusters" Volvo near where I live. Haven't seen it in a few years. Maybe it finally gave up the ghost?
Was it purple? I seem to remember seeing that on the Internet.
