Happy Halloween - LotusTalk

stormtitaniumelise · 10-19-2008, 08:30 PM

Hi Everyone.
Trick Or Treat!
For years, since I bought my Lo. I have wanted to tie her into the festivities of halloween, so this year I finally did it, using my favorite picture as a template I carved her out. (with not much more than a sharpie and a pearing knife)
Attached are a few photos. If anyone else has done this, I sure would love to see yours too!
Happy HaLotus Ween.

I still want to see someone dress up their Chrome Orange as a pumpkin and leave it in their driveway. Can't wait for the papier-mache stem on the hard top.

....looks a lot better in person, still though a tough thing to do on a pumpkin.

I agree, I would never leave my Lotus outside on Halloween / prank night.

No eggs here! I live in a small town in Texas with a population of about 2600 and Halloween is about fun, not pranks. We have 200 to 300 kids and adults visit us each year. My wife and I both walk the yard in costume and have video cameras setup. We give away 30 to 40 pounds of candy, so the kids love us. We don't turn anyone away. Teens without costumes are welcome to walk through the "Haunted House" and take all the candy they want.

We've spent about $4000 on props and costumes and add more each year, so kids and adults love our house. No one messes with our stuff and I really don't worry about the Lotus.

Sometimes it's nice to live in the sticks.

Me too... now with my storm titanuim I guess I have to make a spaceship and put a alien inside..lol.
Still, so much so in the sticks for me, never a visitor on Halloween...only about a grand worth of decoration about the house for the season.

You are right about the sticks - one of the advantages. If I did that where I live there would be TP, eggs, key scratches ... or it would just be stolen. Rich kids - eggs - it is how they rebel against Mommy and Daddy.

Where's the Photoshop guy to put together a stencil for us?
