Steve C from Long Island, who is a loyal, passionate and active reader of MetsBlog.com, sent in the following image and e-mail:
“I got tired of putting miles on my new car when going to Shea so I painted the old 88 Celica Turbo and got a few decals for it…Just finished it today – I’m looking forward to pulling into the Roosevelt Avenue entrance at the next home game…What do you think?”
I think this is, well, ‘Amazing.’ I have met the guy who considers himself to have the official Mets car, but, what I like most about Steve’s, is that it’s just a regular old car which hecan drive, it just happens to be all decked out in orange and blue.

Dude, that’s sick. Well f’ing done.
Lookin’ good! Vanity plates are a must though.
Vanity plates will be here in a few weeks…
“MyMetCar”
This should be the bullpen car! Maybe getting a ride to the mound would improve the pen’s current situation.
Man. I can’t see it. my company blocks flickr
Mine too!!!
That said, if thats a Celica All Trac, Id love to buy the 3S-GTE thats under the hood!
It is an All Trac but you can’t have the motor.:-)

I want that car.
thanks!!
That’s freggin sick! I’m jealous
“Put it in the books!”
That is the most beautiful thing these eyes have ever seen.
I like it too, but no need to quote “Rudy”
Need to change those rims though… Maybe the mets baseball logo in the middle?
Mets logos would be upside down and sideways so I went with straight baseballs. Couldn’t make them fill the whole rim (need to vent the breaks) and don’t love the way it came out but it’s good for now…. It’s a work in progress…
Ah, I just noticed they are baseballs. I thought it was some sort of reflection.
Car looks great either way
powder coat them orange and blue, or just one of the color.. it will look better than just the baseball
Fantastic. Well done, Steve.
thats awesome
This is the coolest thing i have seen since The padres sunday navy uniforms
Some friends and I actually had a school bus (one of the smaller ones) painted orange and blue. There was a PA system, along with stadium seating inside, and a bbq grill attached to the back door. Took it to some games, to tailgate and was always a great time….Unfortunately the old girl broke down, and may be down for the count.
what do i think?
i think you’re a genious for parking in the roosevelt ave lot….
right by the GCP entrace?
bit of a walk, but when it’s time to leave, you’re out and on the GCP in no longer than 2 minutes
damn..i just ruined the secret
A thing of beauty, indeed!
Well done, Steve, well done.
Now, LET’S GO METS!
thats nothing! wait till he posts pictures of our mets bus called “the 7 train” if youve been to a game in the last 2 years im sure youve seen it!
Is this 7 Train Bus from East Rockaway, New York?
haha yes indeed. talking to the cocreator and owner JK as we speak tryin to get pics of the bus on the site
I think Howie should be reimbursing your costs for putting his catchphrase up there so prominently!
Or suing him for plagiarism. :-)
No. I didn’t suggest that, Howie. You and Wayne go back to your broadcast. Nothing to see here.
Outstanding. I’ve seen it on Main Street a few times and just been more jealous than I can explain. Seriously excellent job.
email matt and tell him to post pictures i sent him
I will email him. Maybe you and the Mets car can race. Or at the very least meet up at Nathan’s for car night.
Clearly the best way to spend a Wednesday night in Oceanside.
They should paint the 7 train the same colors.
the mets bus carrys more cargo….and its tough for her to go 0-60, shes a distance gal, not a sprinter!
I just want to point out that Steve is my brother. Which makes me that car’s … uncle. Or something.
Congratulations. Maybe you can be its godfather.
Uncle to a car? Somehow I always pictured you that way. :)
It is only fitting that the official Met Car is a broken down 20 year old car with a new paint job. With that being said…I am insanely jealous..well done.
HAHAHA nice…
Funny you should mention that — I’m taking in next week for an MRI. It’s been complaining about some discomfort in its hip flexor…. At least it doesn’t have bunions….
does the emperor have no clothes, or what? sorry man, but that is one ugly UGLY car. i wont lie like everyone else commenting here. i hope yankee fans dont see this monstrosity, because the only thing it does is serve as fodder for met bashing. please leave this car in your garage and dont bring it to the stadium.
Jealousy’s a stinky cologne…
ok there.
Chris The Teacher -
That’s not your bus. Stop trying to act cool in front of people you don’t even know. That’s Kilgus and myself’s bus. You’ve rode in the bus 2 times tops. On top of that your not even a real mets fan.
Ooh, Mets vehicle drama!
A lot of work went into that car!
FLAWLESS. love it
OFFICIAL!!
You must have, if you’re married, a very understanding wife. Or a very upset one.
He wanted to paint the car – GREY.
Props to my fourth grade teacher in Elmhurst- Sr William Agnes- the praying helped (sometimees.)
Sorry sweetie- I hijacked your account while you were sleeping.
I was excited about my 16 piece METS CAR DECORATING KIT that came in the mail last week…until I saw this!…awwwwwwwww and how cute are the freaking baseball hubcaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? **sigh**
awesome awesome
