Yesterday was the ninth annual Galpin Car Show, where the cars were great and this site’s co-founders apparently had quite the time. From all accounts, the show was as impressive as it was massive, and the Autopian even got its own little corner! There was a VIP section contained in the Aston Martin dealership, which I have to note has its own bar and a really heavy bank vault door. Anyway, that’s where David linked up with Autopian cofounder Beau and found a harpist, as well as food so classy there were cars carved into watermelons.

I didn’t even know carving watermelons was a thing! Anyway, one watermelon depicted a first-generation Ford GT while a second had a second-generation Ford GT. The odd watermelon out was one showing a Lada Niva. Our best guess is that the Lada was really supposed to be a Land Rover Defender since that is a brand that the Aston Martin dealer shares a building with. But, maybe the artist got the wrong reference picture?

Anyway, it’s so cool that it’s hard to call it a mistake. You go, little Lada watermelon! Of course, our readers have pulled out some rather hilarious comments from this car show. Contributor Mark Tucker started a joke thread with:

They are Niva gonna live that mistake down.

A. Barth followed it up with, well, just read:

Niva gonna give you up

Niva gonna let you down

Niva gonna run around

And desert you

A few of you wrote jokes about the job description of someone who does food art. Usernametaken got me right in my sides:

“I work in event based organic graphic design and multidimensional physical visual installations”

Finally, for one more nomination, we look at a comment from William Eby about Jason’s tiredness after pushing microcars around in Southern California heat:

You aren’t supposed to push the cars from the front! You get tired!

You are supposed to push from the back. You get exhausted!

…

I’ll see myself out.

Fantastic job, everyone. Thank you for the Monday laughs and have a great night!
