What's the Worst Place in a Car to Put An LCD? [PICS]

gizmodo.com — What do geeks do at a car show? Check out the LCD screens, of course. We just got back from the car showroom at CES and found some pretty awful examples of "pimping your ride." Take a look at the most ridiculous places these gearheads put their screens, and let's make fun of them together.

  • saltinekracka20, on 01/08/2008, -2/+145I've got to give my vote to the LCD above the tire. That's more pointless than a bunny with a pancake on its head.
  • Ajajadude, on 01/08/2008, -3/+119Sweet Jesus, why?!
  • hydroplane, on 01/08/2008, -2/+107Worst Place in a Car to Put An LCD? ANYWHERE. Keep your eyes on the damn road.
  • trghpy, on 01/08/2008, -6/+92Cars so pimped out, makes Havana's street hookers look like virgins.
  • loveforkarma, on 01/08/2008, -1/+69I would find a bunny with a pancake covering its head amusing.
  • inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+64http://shogun.shafted.com.au/temp/bunny_with_panca ...
  • ShustOne, on 01/08/2008, -0/+49These are the ugliest cars I have ever seen. It looks like the electronics department at a Best Buy threw up all over them.
  • mGARANDEUR1, on 01/08/2008, -0/+33What happens if the car gets into an accident? Liquid crystals all over the place, great.
  • IllBeBack, on 01/08/2008, -1/+29I'll never understand having a LCD panel in the BACK of the car. Who's watching it back there?
  • wbeavis, on 01/08/2008, -1/+25Inside the gas tank would be a bad place to put one, IMHO.
  • 0ceanic, on 01/08/2008, -0/+24i would like one in the license plate spot so you can change your license plate.
  • Schmidtopolis, on 01/08/2008, -1/+23I can glue my ass to a chair, and walk down the street.... but "because I can" is hardly enough of a reason to do it.
  • travbrack, on 01/08/2008, -0/+22I thought the mini was pretty cool actually, except for the giant 18 inch wheels. What's with everyone's obsession with big wheels even if it makes the car look like ass? I don't get it.
  • joshuaer, on 01/08/2008, -0/+21An LCD on the lid of a toilet would be more useful then any shown in the photos.
  • Blankford, on 01/08/2008, -4/+25...makes me want to smack Xzibit upside the dred!
  • KanosWRX, on 01/08/2008, -0/+20God I hate it when people do that to their cars.
  • jstem1994, on 01/08/2008, -1/+20Script for every episode of Pimp My Ride:

    (to accessories guy)"What you got planned for xyz's ride?"
    (accessories guy)"A ***** of monitors!"

    roll credits.
  • p0tent1al, on 01/08/2008, -0/+19nah. Using LCD with camera to assist driving in reverse is pretty useful. Although besides that I agree with you completely.
  • jetblackz4, on 01/08/2008, -0/+19I have been competing in car shows for may years. I recently threw in the towel after I realized it is not how nice your car is it is how much crap you can pile in. The way it works is a points system. The more ***** the more points generally. This explains the ridiculous placement of useless products for the MFG trying to show off their technology. Of course these are trailer queens never intended for the road. I miss the days when the cars were judged on originality and overall appeal.
  • mikelieman, on 01/08/2008, -1/+17Consider that the primary usage of those screens is when they are parked and exhibiting the vehicle....
  • inactive, on 01/08/2008, -0/+16Why is he being dugg down? Pimp My Ride is truly some stupid *****. Some of the mods they do are totally useless and actually make the car less useful overall. Yea, thanks guys...I used to enjoy putting my backback in my trunk, now I have a bowling ball polisher and fish tank with 6 LCD monitors behind it to make the fish happy. Oh yea, make sure you don't park your car anywhere in public or it will be stolen within 5 minutes.
  • pintomp3, on 01/08/2008, -0/+15the guy tailgating you.
  • evi1, on 01/08/2008, -0/+13Once when I was flipping channels I saw MTV install LCDs on a trucks mudflaps, a true wtf moment.
  • Schmidtopolis, on 01/08/2008, -0/+13You mean you're in there, and we're watching Family Guy
  • Waskonator, on 01/08/2008, -3/+15stop it.
  • norman619, on 01/08/2008, -2/+14It's as bad as some of the the crap MTV does to people's cars on Pimp My Ride. They have their heads up their asses. I remember one episode in particular where this chick had the sweet Suburban she loved to take off roading. She even told them this. What did these morons do? Installed a ***** of monitors in the bed and other stuff. I guess they missed the whole "Off Roading" part.
  • Kregg17, on 01/08/2008, -0/+11That, good sir, is my esteemed personal ball washer. What did you guys buy with all your money? Another LCD for your car? Ahahahah!
  • NocturnVitae, on 01/08/2008, -0/+10I think you just created a new menu item for IHOP.
  • AtHomeBoy2000, on 01/08/2008, -0/+10THis is why i started to hate "pimp my ride". They got too weird. They once put an LCD TV on the front of a 4-wheeler. WHAT? Are you going to let them watch CNN before plowing them over?
  • KingGorilla, on 01/08/2008, -0/+10Have you seen jackass?
  • Chompy, on 01/08/2008, -1/+11Exhibiting what? The ability to cram more LCDs onto a given surface?
  • pintomp3, on 01/08/2008, -1/+11to plaster with video's of his interviews? that's what digg's front page is for.
  • loveforkarma, on 01/08/2008, -0/+9That car looks like a jack in the box.
  • Waskonator, on 01/08/2008, -5/+14That mini with the screens facing out; i want it. I know guys, its ***** up right? Who needs that? No one. But i want my home town to know, deep inside my dark, tinted windowed car; amongst the heavy traffic and fumes; with the yelling and honking and screaming babies; im in there, watching Family Guy.
  • spammishking, on 01/09/2008, -1/+10Do you just have these links memorized in case it comes up later, or do you have search for them
  • Poggins, on 01/08/2008, -1/+10Simply put, yes.
  • FoxOrian, on 01/08/2008, -0/+8This makes me ashamed that I used to find Need For Speed: Underground 2 as a fun interesting game...
    These things are abominations in form and function.
  • veriix, on 01/08/2008, -0/+8Were those cars also converted to use FabergĂ© Eggs instead of gas?
  • LRoy12, on 01/08/2008, -0/+8what happens to all these show cars ?
  • Flump5000, on 01/08/2008, -0/+8Not as bad as when they put LCDs in the mudflaps on pimp my ride.
  • Mearn, on 01/09/2008, -0/+8You could put up Goatse when someone starts to tailgate you!
  • cyberwiz01, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7That would actually be *useful*
  • KingGorilla, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7That has no place on this car
  • norman619, on 01/08/2008, -1/+8Yeah that doesn't qualify. That showed some thought. Not allowed.
  • dougmc, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7Personally, I was thinking of Alien, how the alien had a second smaller mouth that extended out of it's big mouth ...
  • tdogg241, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7They get shown.
  • norman619, on 01/08/2008, -2/+9What?
  • samdu, on 01/08/2008, -5/+11When I was a kid, we were able to actually entertain our own damned selves while in the car. Are kids today THAT weak, inept and spoiled?
  • joncarr, on 01/08/2008, -1/+7But what is the BEST place to put a hot Booth Babe?
  • AttilaD, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6She had a nametag?
