I just picked my boys up from their school today and there was a car parked outside that had some English graphics printed on it. As is my habit in China, I automatically read (or try to read) anything written in English.
On the hood it said, "911 Emergency Response Team". And on the fenders it said, "To Entrap and Enslave". I almost fell over laughing. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. If it is there tomorrow, I will take a picture and post it for you all.
What is the strangest thing you have seen printed on a car, other than the obligatory Hello Kitty stuff?

I saw a mobile police unit in Yulin with absolutely the most adorable, cutest cartoon policeman on the side of it. I guess they were going for innocent and welcoming; I just thought it lacked a certain credibility, like the moment a victim of a mugging staggers in bleeding they're going to round up Bugs and Daffy and get after the villains on Wil E Coyote's rocket skates.
I saw a poster of snow white from Disney sniffing cocaine................i swear that was weird and i said to the dude.don't let Disney catch you with this poster on your car..........children will never know that this thing she is sniffing is cocaine
In Shenyang there was always a jeep parked close to my university gate with a sticker of Osama Bin Laden.
It looked like the stickers of Dakar rally. http://www.evographics.com/product_images/k/394/DAKAR__98296_std.jpg
But it was clearly the terrorist. Maybe a fan?
The "Entrap and Enslave" thing is because of the Chinese obsession with the new Transformers movies - it's printed on the Decepticon police car.
The strangest thing I've seen has been the map of Silverstone, highlighted with the corners for Monza and with a great big Porky Pig in the middle saying "Wellkon(sic) to Daytona."

It is? Huh, I never saw the movie so I guess that is why I didn't recognize it. Still, I thought it was pretty funny.
A lady at work here has all of the Angry Birds characters vinyled on to the side of her car, both sides actually. I asked if it was something her kid(or kids?) asked her to do....no, apparently this 30-something just really loves Angry Birds.
Another common thing I see is a sticker of the Nurburgring track map or Dakar rally stickers. Usually find these on Chinese made cars and "SUVS", neither of which have been on or even close to either respective course...
The word "Smoke" written upside down in a stylish lettering. On the same car, bullet-holes. The bullet-holes make it go faster.
Here is one I took a photo of yesterday outside my kids school.
There is one in my building that has SWAT written and some other decals to make it all police-looking... on the drive door is a badge that just has a big ol capital B in the center, and "Best Cars" written under it... in the states he would be punishable for imitating a douche bag
