It’s hard to come up with a good Christmas tree these days, especially if you’re an automotive aficionado. Sure, you can find tons of shiny stuff at virtually any store that’s larger than a van, but what if you want the three to truly stand as a totem of all things automotive?
It seems that car logos and badges make superb Christmas tree decorations, as the adjacent images demonstrates. Of course, your SO and your children may not be all that thrilled with you flooding the Christmas three with such unusual ornaments, so perhaps it’s best to keep such things for the office - in fact, this is what the guy who decorated the tree in the adjacent image did.
It all started with a light installation that remind us of quality time spent in the garage. And while US metal clearly has priority here, both Euro- and JDM-flavored badges were used. The logos come from both present and past times, so, once again, this is a complete tree. At the top, we obviously find the Mercedes-Benz logo.
For about EUR300 ($390), you can fit your Merc with an LED emblem that is activated when the car is unlocked, the engine is not running and any of the doors or trunk are opened, remaining lit for 15 seconds. On second thought, perhaps that's a bit too much, so we'll stick to the Christmas tree here.
