Riddle my Ride

I could puzzle out the words " Chevy ‘57 Bel Air" (which is what the car is, I believe) and "Hot Wheels." As for the rest, I'm not sure if they're random or not. I see "JIRASA" and "‘24" (could be this year as a release date) and "TCARS." And the car has a large "T" on the top. Perhaps JIRASA is the artist?

In any case, I saw this at the store myself recently, and at first wondered if it were The Riddler's car. So great minds…

There's a "Pit Cars" on the driver's side.
Nice back story for how it will fit into the script.

I have to admit, if I were commissioned by Mattel to make a letter-covered Hot Wheels car, I'd make the thing a puzzle with multiple ways of reading it, both orthogonally and diagonally— like a "word find" game.

Hmm… one of the diagonals is a synonym for "donkey" or "butt." Wonder if that's an accident, or got slipped in on purpose. Any boy who finds it will snicker.
I also found "HEX" and "FLY" along diagonals.
