‘Tis the season to annoy fellow commuters with car decorations, fa-lalalala-lala-la-la. There’s more than one way to spread holiday cheer – whether you’re into commercialized Christmas, a faithful Chanukah celebration, or you just like slapping colorful lights on your automobiles.

Some of these decorations are right up there with the obnoxious factor of Truck Balls. But who are we to judge? It’s the time of year that brings us together, hopefully not in a rear end collision after too much spiked eggnog.

Check out a few holiday vehicle decorations – feel free to reply with photos of your own.

Car Antlers & Rudolph Nose

The new classic in holiday vehicle decoration. You can slap reindeer antlers atop a VW Bug or Ram 1500. They  clip on similarly to car sports/country/nationality flags. Add a red clown nose and transform your hooptie into Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Grille Wreaths

Typically seen on larger vehicles and semi/dump trucks around New York City, this yule-tradition is an easy and inexpensive way to ‘spruce’ up (tree puns!) your vehicle for the holiday season. All one needs is some string, pine tree clippings, and a hot glue gun. Aside from that last item, you can pick everything else off the ground outside.

Roof Menorahs

The tradition of car roof mounted Menorahs, in celebration Chanukah, has grown to encompass at least one die-hard spiritual driver in every major city. CrownHeights.com showcases a gallery full of Brooklyn-based Menorah-mobiles.

Car Christmas Lights

This may suck up that car battery juice a bit too quickly – but if someone really wants to make a splash during their late December road trip, we suggest adding Christmas tree lights around the vehicle. Many car supply stores offer packages that include lights, suction cups for attachment, and separate battery pack.

Music – Michael Buble, Nat King Cole

The holidays are not complete without a soundtrack. Some of us wish to remain purists – playing classic Nat King Cole “White Christmas” or seasonal tunes from Old Blue Eyes. If you’re looking for a modern take on these oldies, check out Michael Buble’s Christmas album, if you are not already insanely sick of hearing it throughout major retail stores everywhere.

Happy Holidays from Automopedia!

It’s Labor Day folks, time to get on your John Deere tractor and hitch up the young’ins for a trip down I-95. Whether your loadin’ up the wagon or piling into the general store with your Chevy, you could not ask for a better time to explore the Land of the Free. Ya’ll need the right type of transportation first. You can’t take a trip through the southern states in some fancy city lovin’ Mar-Cedes Benz.

Now these fellers got the right idea – Hells bells, you could fit a family of six inside that late model Mercury. This puppy would also make a perfect rally car or destruction derby racer. Just slap on a number, some ironic slogan and local sponsorship from Tim’s Bait & Tackle and get on the track. ‘Course they should probably get some rubber on them rims first.

Speaking of rubber, if you’re making this trip in a one-ton pickup no proud redneck should never leave the farm without a big pair of Truck Nuts on your tailpipe. It’s the only true way to show off some hillbilly manliness – no one’s Silverado or F-150 can be complete without a set.

If you want to bring the extended family along you have to get a little creative. This Redneck Limo is the perfect example of just what to do when you don’t want your mother-in-law hassling everyone from the seat behind ya – plop her be-hind 6 rows back, with the dawgs and little ones.

If you want to strike out by your lonesome but the misses needs you to finish mowin’, there’s plenty of ways to kill two birddogs with one buckshot. Imagine having all your property trimmed in about 3 minutes with this John Deere Motorcycle. After that you can take off to the Dude Ranch and kick back with a MGD.

These folks got the spirit but they’re doin’ it all wrong!

Well here’s a redneck sports car dream come true – nothing says “boy howdy!” better then an off-roadin’ Pontiac Firebird. It’s also a great way to not only see past traffic, but get rite on over it. Now that you’ve picked your mode of backwoods transportation it’s good practice to have the right style to fit each ride.

My cousin Jim Bob Esq. has always been the height of fashion in the greater Deerlick region. He shuns the typical Daytona 500 t-shirt for a more natural look. He’s a real success story in our family; his beer bottle return business has helped achieve the biggest houseboat anyone in this area has seen.

Now all our misses are ready to hit the waves with their homemade bathing suits. In fact, the rest of the clan is just bout ready for a drive to the Redneck Inn and a weekend of gorgeous weather, riding the tire swing over the swimin’ hole the lake, and keeping it in the family…road trips that is!
