PY Pinata Poll
 

Hey Everyone
We want your opinion on piñatas. 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 piñata would you like to see a dozen kids hitting with a wiffle ball bat?


We made a test piñata 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 piñata shaped like an import.

What car/truck (in piñata 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

Fiat, I suppose

in College, we use to get a car donated from a local junk yard and we had sledgehammers, gloves and safety glasses and charged our fellow students 10 bucks for 10 swings.

much fun was had

Any car with a Red Buick air cleaner decal! (Except of course a Buick)

Good one Bill.

Both of these, too funny! :D

Anything built in China.......

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

How about bustin' up a Chevy bow tie?!?! :D

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.:jumping:

Prius.

X2 You beat me to it.

I agree with the red air cleaner decal.

That's frickin' hilarious! :D

X3 on the Prius!

What's the noise a Prius makes when passing?

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

I'm certain you hold the answer to this question. So please tell us! LOL

I am telling you, it's going to be the ruin of our hobby. ;)

I voted for other...a so-called "smart" car.

I chose other which translates to red air cleaner decal in my mind :)

Ice cream truck
- with a Red Buick engine decal

and real big chrome wheels

Yugo! You could use a real one and still bust it with a wiffle bat!

SSR or Prowler. Dumbest cars ever built.

Normally I would pick BMW, but I voted for Kia. You gotta make it a Soul!

Make it silver. Its one of three cars that I own and its my daily.

You know what, make it one of those stupid Kia hamsters!

They're hamsters? I though they were rats.

Just looking, I'd stick with something fairly simple.........

Looks like we're narrowing it down to a Prius with a red air cleaner sticker on its' hood ...:eek:

Ogre

A Corvette, with the incorrect shade of overspray.

Or anything else with a bowtie.

If it's the Prius maybe you could play that little jingle from their commerical during the bashing event????

You know it right.......A Prius for EVERYONE! LOL

What should the piñata be filled with? Candy? What kind?
Anything other than candy (and air cleaner decals)?

Steve

Smart car. Filled with lemon drops.

any type of candy that can resist hitting the ground without the packaging breaking open. Root beer barrels? Sweet Tarts? Bottle Caps?

I'm with those who said Prius. Paint it red with a gold hammer and sickle on it. It should be easy to make. Take a shoebox, and there you go.

I told one guy that I refuse to ride around in his Prius. Why he asked with a dismayed look? Cause I don't want to be mistaken for a damn communist. Burn gasoline like the rest of us till it's all gone.

This!

X4 on the Prius.... and the red Buick air cleaner decal we all love to hate. Fill the piñata 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 :D

Is it OK if we use candy from this century? :D :D
I can't remember the last time I've seen root beer barrels or bottle caps for sale. Are they still being made??
I think I saw sweet tarts last halloween. Someone was telling me that sweet tarts in Canada are different than sweet tarts in the US. Anyone confirm/deny?

Steve

Hey, I found a few root beer barrels in my truck the other week after hauling kids around. I did buy bottle caps for this past halloween, they were in similar packets as the sweet tarts. As for the taste being different, I can't confirm. I can fully confirm that Hershey's chocolate bar is different tasting bought here then the one I got in Canada :gag:

I'll take a case of Coffee Crisp bars from Canada for me. Sorry Steve but they're too good to use in the piñata.

How about filling it with Jordan almonds and pork rinds.

I think you should have a piñata for the adults too. :D

What would that piñata be filled with? :D

Aspirin, Ibuprofin (sp?), Doan's (Back Pills), Glucosamine/Chondroitin (sp?) ... things that old farts (and getting-old farts like me) will need after a swinging a bat at a pinata, and what they can use after laying on the garage floor doing some sort of laborious task...

How bout a Nissan Cube filled with sugar cubes?:idea:

sweet!

Vicodin.
