Device on rear window. Device on hood. Grocery list on side
Imgur link
Best answer: I guess this is more precisely what it is parodying.

I’m pretty confident the device on the bonnet is LED driving lights.

Rear window looks like a 5-liter jerrycan — seems like a terrible idea to mount on the glass, especially if the snowboard roof box rattles against it while driving, but what do I know?

The hood device is just a cargo box similar to this one, likely for holding sporting gear.

Wait hang on there's only one roof top cross bar on that car. I think that rear contraption (some SeaSucker product or equivalent) is actually stabilizing the cargo box, and also has the jerrycan affixed to it. FWIW any jerrycan color but red, yellow, or blue is not meant to have fuel in it. Though given how the roof rack is attached IDK if I would trust the driver to do this right.

The device on the bonnet (hood) is a light bar. Largely useless there unless you want to light up the bonnet super bright but don't care about seeing where you're going.
The names on the side are some kind of parody of automotive performance brands. At least, I hope they're a parody.
The thing on the back window may or may not be a jerry can, but it appears to be holding up the back of the roof box - it doesn't seem to be doing anything else, as I can't see that it's attached to the box itself.
What's going on here? An accident waiting to happen. The only uncertainty is which of those things will cause it.
