Read about the MV-1, a vehicle
designed for wheelchair users, not modified. It looks much sturdier and safer than modvans. I think that's terrific.
So I looked at this thing and I thought, "What that really needs is a picture of the MV-1 with a couple of hot handicapped babes in bikinis lounging on the hood." Because cars and stuff are so frequently sold by making them sexy (to the assumed male shoppers) by draping them in women. Then I thought, "Wait, that's sexist and maybe otherwise objectifying." But then on the third hoof, desexualization and invisibility of people with handicaps is a major problem too, so sexy visibility should be subversive. We could always put a hot handicapped guy up there in a speedo. That would sort of imply that the two of them are going to drive their MV-1 down to the ocean and have sex on the beach like everyone else is implied to do in the usual ads. Because a lot of what vehicle ads sell is ... mobility,
mobility as power, that you are attractive because you have this big awesome gadget that will take you and your friends where you want to go. So that comes full circle, because that is exactly what wheelchair riders will see when they look at the MV-1: mobility as power. That's pretty hot.
I checked, and gods bless them, it comes not only in black, white, silver, and blue but also a
fuck-me shade of cherry red.
I wonder if I could get someone to draw that this weekend.
