jax Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 So I drive around all day seeing the same things on cars. The soccerballs, and baseballs that are half out of the window, the shattered look. Or the jack in the box antenna balls. Well, I had a thought on the way home (it may just be the heat....105 today) but I thought it would be cool to have an Ammonite sticking out of your rear window, and a meg tooth of ammonite sticking on your antenna. Heres my very crude design for the idea. I think there might be a market for them on a certain web site I know of.... what do ya think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepinthemud Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 i like the ammonite in the windshield... haha. (although, there isnt much glass on a Jeep... I would have to figure something else out....) maybe an ammonite wheel? or trailer hitch cover?

mommabetts Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 How about some mossy set covers? Or a grill guard in the shape of a large mammoth tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Jax I will buy one if you can make one for my steering wheel. If you went putting a tooth like that on the antenna, I wouldn't give it 10 minutes before it disappeared. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr-J-K Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I used to have a "I brake for dinosaurs" bumper sticker and T. rex skull silhouette sticker on my old Explorer. Need some new stuff for my new rig I'm getting in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jax Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 JaxI will buy one if you can make one for my steering wheel. If you went putting a tooth like that on the antenna, I wouldn't give it 10 minutes before it disappeared. Now im going to need donations to make molds With the antenna balls, you have to glue them on! I found this out when someone STOLE my entire antenna...... got a new one, put a dab of liquid nails, then tightened it with a wrench. But I wouldnt even know where to start with this stuff. I will have to see if someone could make the window ammos. Would be pertty cool to see someone else driving around with an ammonite sticking out of their window.

tracer Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 fossils tend to accessorize my vehicles all by themselves. they get stuffed into nooks and crannies (why are nooks and crannies always hanging out together? doesn't seem that they have that much in common) and i find them months later when cleaning out the car or looking for something else. fanny pack and backpack are the same way. but i do think echinoid radio knobs would be cool. and you could have different raritynesses of echs for different grades/models of car. like work trucks would have garden variety echs, but the ltz model would have super-rare ones. the "texas edition" silverados would have pseudomorphs of moonrock after echies.
