Well, thats somthing you don't see everyday

My buddy Randy sent me this picture from the Muddy River Run. Penny for your thoughts! LOL

 

Uhm, er, yeah, ok....

 

are they pennies


-dan

 

No, just really, really big 'flake... the owner that is.

 

Lol!

 

wow that car has got to be worth 20,000 cents...

 

Makes no cents to me.

 

Can you imagine what that thing weighs? A sack of pennies weighs a lot and that took a lot more than a sack full.

 

Art cars (not to be confused with Art Carr! ). See 'em all the time around Seattle. Fremont neighborhood has a ton. In college, a guy had an old Buick that he tried to grow grass on.

 

Beats the hell outta' rust. They took a lot of time to position them precisley, too.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

 

Sweeeeet!!! ^^^Hahaha

 

Wish I had the time(and money!) to waste like that.

 

Wow, that's strange... Makes me want to go put an aquarium in my fender, or something...

He could have used dollars and it still wouldnt make cents,,,I mean sense!

 

All those pennies are cheaper than a real paint job!!!

 

Are they all the same year as the car????
It'd be silly otherwise...

 

looks like it can deflect arrows, too.

 

I would have used nickles...what a cheap bastard.

 

My brother is doing a documentary on "Car Art" and is traveling around the world for this film. (He's filming at "Burning Man" this month)

I guess this car would be a candidate..., or is it just Cents-less...!!!

 

Hell at first glance I thought it was alligator hide Stafford

 

What a waste of penny's I'll bet there's enough on that car to buy two packs of smokes!

 

That thing would need one hell of a hood spring. My luck the guy would offer me a ride and I would close the door and they would all fall off of the passenger side. It will look really cool in a few years when the pennys start to turn green.

Do the new pennys even turn green like the old ones did?

 

Dude, an old Buick that grew pot, is a totally utilitarian vehicle.

The lawn car seems to be the most overdone scheme in art cars. Hey I dig a lot of them, art cars that is. Some have people real ingenuity and original thought into them. Then again some people don't - I'm sick of seeing multicolored puzzle piece cars

 

I was thinking he should've arranged them so the tarnished ones were together, and the brand new shiny ones were together, with the slightly tarninshed ones in between for that Winfield fade job look.

 

I don't particulary care for it but that's just my $0.02 cents

 

I bet that would be 'purty' all polished up...

rather taken the stack of pennys that it took to do this and chuck it at the guy's head, (here's the pun.....) and knock some cents into him.

 

Someone had WAY too much time to waste....

 

or a couple of gallons of gas...

 

I think it would look better with Barbie doll heads hot glued all over it.

The sad thing is these "Art cars" get more news and magazine print than "real" custom cars do and inevitibly the writer will steal terms like "customized" from "our" vocabulary to describe these sick-fuck ugly pieces of shit.

at least it's a four door...should have used an 80's Fairmont or Imperial K car

I don't know why I said more than "Please close this thread" I apologize.
