Default PY Pinata Poll

Hey Everyone
We want your opinion on piņatas. Here's the premise:

If you are at a car show and the host announces they have a car/truck shaped Pinata for the kids to break open. What car/truck shaped piņata would you like to see a dozen kids hitting with a wiffle ball bat?


We made a test piņata roughly in the shape of a 1964 GTO:


and we had some fun testing to see if it was too strong or too weak to be broken with a wiffle ball bat:



But we thought giving the kids a American musclecar to break wouldn't be as much fun as watching them smash a piņata shaped like an import.

What car/truck (in piņata form, of course) would you like to see smashed with wiffle ball bats? Choose from the Makes in our poll above or post your own recommendation.

Thanks
Performance Years staff

VW Beetle would be the most recognizable, especially to children.

Subaru. I have nothing against the car. It's their radio ads that make me hate them. Why I don't know, they just do.

X4 on the Prius.... and the red Buick air cleaner decal we all love to hate. Fill the piņata with lemon drops. And if the kids aren't around..... pigeon poop.

Alternative cars could be the new Cadillac ELR Coup, or those Telsa pieces of crap. You know, the Biber mobile.... with him in it. LOL

Better not state my opinion. It seems to bring out the 'best' in folks and then the thread gets locked.
