Marvel Willing to Trade Blood For Extraordinarily Ugly, Nerdy Car
Posted at 3:08 PM Jul 02, 2008
Well, not blood exactly. But you can purchase an online entry here—i.e., make a donation to the San Diego Blood Bank—and have a chance to win this Honda Element adorned with several pictures of Captain America (who, being dead, possibly could have used a transfusion or two of his own), all as a socially responsible tie-in to SDCC. So the good: donating blood. Always a good thing. The bad: This is way startlingly stupid-looking car. Why not just put Cap's shield on the hood? Hell, his old Mego car looked more stylish. The ugly: Captain America...on a fucking Honda?! Jesus, is nothing sacred?

Him raging out on the back is pretty dope but the picture on top of him saluting screams "Beat the shit out of me!"

"What do you win? You win the chance to promote our projects in the gaudiest billboard on wheels ever created!"
I'd rather win a pair of Hellboy sneakers.
Posted 07/02/2008 at 12:25:49 PMAs awesome as this should be...I gotta say it's pretty hideous :s. Totally agree with Zach about the coffin thing too....creepy. It's just really not a car that should have Captain America on it...or anything on it...
Posted 07/02/2008 at 01:42:35 PMYou're all nuts. It's Captain America. On a car. And don't go knocking Hondas! Sure a large amount of their parts are made in Japan, but the bulk are made here in the U.S. of friggin' A! And I would so enter, except I faint at the site of my own blood. Anyone wanna donate blood for me so I can enter?!
Posted 07/03/2008 at 07:59:33 AM"So the good: donating blood". Are we missing a point here? Just donating blood is what's most important, having the chance to win a Honda with Captain America painted on it?... I don´t care...
