Hot Cars & Spent Contraceptives is the first full-length album by Norwegian band Turbonegro. It was released in March 1992 through Big Ball Records. Only 1,000 copies were released originally in Norway. A reissue of the record was released in early 1993 in Germany by Repulsion Records titled Helta Skelta. The reissue features four extra tracks and a 24 minute audio-play about a young man being raped by a policeman called "A Career in Indierock". In 2000, Bitzcore Records reissued a remastered edition of Hot Cars & Spent Contraceptives along with other early Turbonegro records. The reissue was released in June 2000 and featured a new cover art by Dimitri 'from Oslo' Kayiambakis. It contained all the tracks from the original version and as well as the second reissue Helta Skelta.
