This 1985 Mercury Grand Marqui penguin car is for sale for only 1000 bucks, only if you really really really want it now on craigslist. Its claim to fame, a single penguin martini shaker as a hood ornament, and a stuffed one in the back window. I think its time to cut back on the martinis for a while, I don't know, I am just saying.

Dangerous Duct Tape Van on the Loose

Dangerous Duct Tape Van on the Loose


I was sent this duct tape art van the other day from my friend mark, an engineer with a duct tape talent and here is what he said;

I am an art car artist and went to the westfest and Seattle car-evolutioncars Blowout several times. The duck tape van was created because of inspiring friends in Eugene, Oregon. These early forrays into art have opened new doors for me and enriched my life. As an engineer, duck tape was always there but never appreciated. Discovering the wacky, wonderful world of art cars released my spirit and let me fly.

Thanks Mark and while I was at it I found a few more duct tape van jobs created by folks gifted in other areas.

Golf Ball Art Car or Tiger Wood's career falling apart

With all this talk about Tiger Woods I though it would be appropriate to go out and find some Golf Ball Art Cars. Honestly I haven't even followed the news on the latest Tiger Woods Scandal and frankly I am bored already. But I am an opportunist and figured I get some hits by using Tiger Woods name over and over again so I decided to do a Golf Car vs Tiger Woods Career art car entry. All I found were three golf ball cars and golf ball car prank video that have nothing or maybe everything to do with Tiger Woods career. So what is it?

Arvold Art Car - Budget mod back seat with a view

Arvold Art Car Side View

Arvold Art Car Outdoor Back Seat

via
This beauty is the creation of artist Isaac Arvold who painted this parked car in Uptown Minneapolis. In an urban environment this paint job is natures way of saying don't look at the body work to closely. I like the outdoor back sitting arrangement great for summer days but problematic in the winter time. If our buddy owns this you better call "shot gun" and hitch a ride inside rather than deal with the wind chill factor in the back seat. This car would be perfect for Southern California year around, maybe its time for that road trip.

Leave with a Cuban Car Flotation Device

Photos via Floating Cubans

There is nothing that says "I [heart] Cuba" than a Cuban Car Flotation Device constructed for the sole purpose of exiting the country through shark infested waters. I don't understand why anyone would risk death to leave a country which such a great medical system. Or risk loosing an arm and a leg to get to America, a land full of mean people. Pictures are worth a thousand words and I have three thousand words that tell me, America is not such a bad place and Cuba is less than desireable.

Siamese Car Racing

What do you get when weld one car on top of the other? One guy on the bottom working the gas pedal and the guy on the second floor working the steering wheel? You get a British car racing sport called Siamese Car Racing. Warning! Extremely Funny.

Jackson Polock Art Car using speed bumps

This painted car is an example of how not to go about making an art car. Letting your paint buckets explode on the way to your "art" studio is a recipe for disaster. Now if you were going the "Polock" look maybe, but in that case you would need a few more colors in the back of the car with the lids all loosey goosey. The final step would be to find a parking lot with speed bumps and then hit them at full speed. Who needs paint brush now?

Truck Painted with real flames - Ironic

You've seen them in your town, trucks or cars with painted flames on the front. But I bet you have never seen truck painted with real flames before. This truck is really hot now, how ironic.

Man Invents Toilet-Shaped Car and a Suitcase Car

Suitcase Car from India


A man in India not only invents a motorized suitcase but he decided to go the "extra mile" and come up with a motorized toilet. The motorized suitcase weighs about 660 pounds and with a 50 cc engine can reach speeds of up to 25 mph. The production cost is about $2,000 and his goal is to get these baby's mass produced. Its a good idea and you could actually take them with you on long trips and for sort business trips maybe he could make a carry-on version. Now about the toilet car, I can't imagine what the marketing strategy will be to get the word out. I think calling this a "Crappy Car" is actually is a real plus, but hopefully you wont get a "Crappy Deal" at the dealership when you buy one. In some parts of the world he will have make sure its a lo-flo toilet, and that it complies with strict emission standards. Good luck with that!!!
