Jun 25 2007Car Tent


The car tent is a tent designed to look like a car cover, so you can go camping in the city without being disturbed. And really, who doesn't go camping in the city? When you get hungry you just shoot a business man and cook him over an open flame. Delicious!
More pictures of the car tent after the jump, and thanks to Gar for sending these in.

Really, if you hate yourself this much, please, do us all a favor and kill yourself. Thanks.

Ah but wouldn't this be great for those geeks, who want to be first inline for movies, book signings etc?
5. Smartass - June 25, 2007 1:21 PM
Can you list the source?
I want to buy one as I have recently been evicted and I would like to live in front of my former home so I can yell obscenities at the bastards who buy my home on power of sale for less then the price the I owed the bank at the time.
Lousy banks...

That'd be awesome in the middel of the forrest.
"Who the hell parks their car out here?!"

What the hell is wrong with sleeping in a dumpster? It keeps the rain off and is more rain-proof than these. I caught a prostitute in the dumpster/skip behind my work and called the police, apparently she said to them it was the guys birthday and therefore a freebie.... Lucky guy!! (True story, so to find it funny you had to be there at the time... )

I think the only practical purpose for this is as a means of reserving your metropolitan area parking space with a decoy car.

Complaining about first comments are for cuntscabs!
10. none - June 25, 2007 1:37 PM
this is for "smartass"
maybe you should learn to
a) make your payments
b) read the mortgage before signing the dotted line
c) uhhhh still make your f-ing payments
d) sell the house before they'd forclosed on your dumb ass
e) been smart enough to do something to the house while living in it in order to increase the value
f) MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS!
g) buy something you could afford in the first place
and last but not least
MAKE YOUR GOD DAMN PAYMENTS!
fuckin morons!

You're right, none, people who make sarcastic comments are big jerks.
12. Shifty - June 25, 2007 2:13 PM
whatever rubs your buddha.

Say what you want about the "First" posting folks, but it doesn't make any sense to call them "faggots". I don't know that much about gay culture- is that something gay people often do? Why not just call them "niggers" or "spics"?
14. Tall Face - June 25, 2007 3:18 PM
so all you'd really need is THIS: http://www.geekologie.com/2007/06/wear_your_seat.php....and maybe some of these? http://www.geekologie.com/2007/06/wear_your_seat.php....then i think you'd be set
15. Tall Face - June 25, 2007 3:22 PM
i really fucked THAT all up : (
i'll officially be changing my name to Stupid Face for any future comments

It might be good for a stakeout. But it might be more effective to sit in a really car. Of course if you don't own a car this is your only option.
17. none - June 25, 2007 4:49 PM
Manuel, you're right, maybe they're nigger faggots married to a spic with an adopted like chink ass kid that comes from a jap mother and rag-headed father...

End this shit and everyone put a cock in their mouths!

wow. really badly designed. tsk tsk.
20. Toni - June 25, 2007 7:37 PM
And when some drunk rear ends your "car", YOU DIE! Awesome idea.

Or the mountains.
"How the hell did they drive that up here?"
23. CJ5 - June 25, 2007 9:37 PM
If you were on a walking tour of the country or something of that nature it would be nice. Besides, you wouldn''t have to sleep on the concrete, that's what sleeping pads are for.
24. ou812 - June 25, 2007 10:04 PM
and what happens when a drunk driver plows his car into your roadside tent?
25. Mudpecker - June 26, 2007 12:33 AM
What is that man in third picture wearing, and why is he in a car-tent with a younger girl. I laugh at the thought of some homeless fellow urinating on their tent.
26. Og - June 26, 2007 12:35 AM
Why is the guy dressed like a bumble bee? That's really my only inquiry about the matter.
27. Brennan - June 26, 2007 1:40 AM
Most tents come with an attached ground cover so you're not laying in the dirt, or concrete as the case may be. Also, props on the design of bisecting the floor with a steal rod so no ordinarily sized person could possibly lay down. I'd have never thought of that.
28. jase - June 26, 2007 5:28 AM
first!
29. Mike - June 26, 2007 8:13 AM
Where does this story originate from?
30. Lamellama - June 26, 2007 9:00 AM
Needs tax and insurance else they'll be fined
31. Danny - June 26, 2007 9:04 PM
This is just another clever way to avoid the scrutiny of the meter maid.
I mean, what could you have to say to her?
"I've already made the monthly payment!"
..I would so put one of these on the roof.
And cops can't tap the car window to see what's going on in there when it's shaking like an epileptic schizo. Just tell 'em you're remodeling your home!
32. Greg - June 26, 2007 11:49 PM
Dude, now I'll have something to sleep in while waiting for the xbox720 or the ps4 to come out. I love camping outside target!
33. wiinja - June 27, 2007 5:11 PM
this qualifies for "so" and "freaking" but not "cool" so much
34. Avenger48 - June 28, 2007 10:39 AM
This could be used with great skill for awesome pranks. An idea:
Set it up in ur work/school's restroom. Watch as people go in, and wonder how a car got there. (this would be far more effective in a multi-story building.)
35. trifin - June 28, 2007 11:36 AM
one of the worst things ive seen a while..
camping in a city on concrete, with no ground sheet, next to a road and it doesnt even look like a car
36. bernard - July 1, 2007 9:10 AM
Like Mike in post #29 I wonder, where this story originates from. The pictures where taken in Vienna next to the Museumsquartier (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=&q=mariahilferstra%C3%9Fe+3,+wien&sll=48.201841,16.359533&sspn=0.005199,0.010042&ie=UTF8&ll=48.201852,16.36066&spn=0.005199,0.010042&t=k&z=17&om=1 - works in map mode, in the satellite picture: go from the arrow tip to the left in a straight line to where shadow meets sunlight, somewhere there stood the car tent.) As the "Humanic" shoe store in the back of the first picture indicates, the pictures are rather old - I would say more than one year, could be two, before the shop was refurbished.

Great idea, but dangerous. I'd worry about being sideswiped by a car. At least one car a week gets it on my street. Now, if it had a safety cage...
39. mrgrimm - July 2, 2007 12:59 PM
I'd hit it. Great idea.

is that man Denice the menace?
41. Dan - July 3, 2007 8:40 PM
That chick's pretty hot, though. I'd do 'er in a car tent.
42. scar104 - July 7, 2007 9:07 PM
Isn't camping in the city defeating the purpose of camping?
43. Catie - July 12, 2007 5:43 PM
who do they think theyr'e fooling? it doesn't look anything like a car.
44. sebulator - July 14, 2007 9:19 AM
I love the political statement. If cars can polute public space, why can't i......
45. Manny - July 18, 2007 4:34 PM
Your all just mad cuz you didnt invent some crazy shit like they did... HATERS.
46. Morpheus - December 4, 2007 7:22 AM
Stick one up in Manchester City Centre, I bet you get both a parking ticket and a F*CKING Community Charge bill ! - not to mention some idiot will start a demonstration complaining it's not GREEN !
