Driver tricks out car with Angry Birds decorations 05/16/2011
Angry Birds has taken the smartphone world by storm, with millions of users on both iPhone and Android operating systems enjoying the addictive nature of flinging colorful birds at structures built by green pig-like creatures.
Whenever something reaches the level of popularity that Angry Birds has, you can bet someone will trick out their car to go along with it. Jalopnik appears to have found the first case of that for Angry Birds, as an Ohio resident has decked out his car in Angry Birds colors and decals.
The original model is definitely a Chevrolet, but it's tough to tell whether it is an old Caprice or Impala. Either way, the grille pinpoints the ear of the car to the late 70s or early 80s. Decked out in bright yellow paint, this vehicle would likely turn some heads even without the "Angry" livery.
Each side of the car has the Angry Birds logo stretched across it, and the hood features a full highly-detailed mural of the game's menu screen. There's even a giant pause button on the front quarter panels - all things that will be familiar to the "Angry" addicted. Even the wheels get the special treatment - between each rim are decals of the various birds that you can fling in the game.
The driver behind the vehicle was not identified by Jalopnik, but a decal on the window reads "Big Boi Toys." A quick Google search indicates that it's the name of a toy shop in Wickville, Ohio. Given that the car was spotted on an Ohio Freeway, it's safe to say that the owner of the shop was either a big fan or using it to promote their shipment of Angry Birds plushies.
Sadly, there's no giant slingshot attached to the back, but hopefully one day an intrepid driver will have the vision to make that a reality.
