I posted this on another forum. I believe it now qualifies for this forum because of the addition of the radiator grill. This is paraplegic Barbie driving an open wheel racer to an LGBT rally. Recognize the parts? The grill?

As I type this

I know I'm probably all wrong, but this is too clever not to respond.

The wheels look like from the bottom rack of a later-model dishwasher. Though the one on the right front shows wear, not something you'd usually see on a dishwasher. I'm tempted to say feet off a washer or dryer, but that shouldn't show wear, either.

The lake pipes on the side leave me clueless.

The grille makes me think of the oven vent for a General Electric slide-in stove, but I don't recall them having bolts to hold them in place. Maybe from an earlier model?

The chassis reminds me of tomato juice, but I can't pinpoint. The scale doesn't seem right.

Barbie's coif is def from the 80s-90's punk-punk-punkpunkpunkpunk lets-go-funky attitude. That is so over, gurrrrlie.

And while we're at it, can we please not poke attention to Miss Barbara Millicent Roberts' apparent different ability? We have friends with us who would appreciate this.
