Auto Show

This wacky Arab salvage mod is just plain funny. Your out in the middle of the desert with nothing to do and a car with barely anything on it but the basics. What more fun can than be.

I found this Blues Art Car photo painted for Honda by Artist Jack Poppitz, a self-taught outsider folk artist and carpenter living in Colorado, that usually works with old wood as a backdrop for his folk art. This car was part of a benefit auction held at the House of Blues.

I found this hot Mini Cooper with an all reflective, vinyl sticker kit and a video on how it was all put together at Garage 419. This glow in the dark mini art car was created by Scott Chester at ACID STUDIOS and the result is simply stunning. The project was inspired by the BMW Art Car project between 1975 & 1999, where artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg (R.I.P.) made one of a kind works of art from BMWs’ finest automobiles.

All I can say is this is how you Pimp your Japanese Bike Ride all day long. Its live manga animation robotech with a dash of mutant and a pinch of lo-rider cool. And as you can see by all the lights, safety first for night riding

This Pink"Homeland Security" Art Car is 1995 Chevy Caprice station wagon that was part of the Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia installation at Burning Man. It has 125.000 miles, street legal passed Texas inspection and is for sale for around $2,000, O.B.O. Daniel is wanting to skip town and wants to unload to pink beast as fast as possible so email him at dadara@xs4all.nl and help him raise some money to get back home.

It was Christmas yesterday or the global Jesus birthday celebration, even though there is some controversy surrounding the actual date of his birth. I am not trying to be sacrilegious in any way, but he does seem to be the worlds most influential God/Man in the universe for all time past present and future, and since this is an art car blog, I decided to answer the question WWJD? or What Would Jesus Drive? I don't know which one He would drive but I did find a few art cars that some of us down here would drive. For better or for worse here are the Jesus Cars.

On a recent trip to visit an amazing Christmas gingerbread house (see video) I discovered what I believe to be the real secret Batmobile hiding lair. It wasn't deep in some underground cave but in the most unsuspecting place imaginable. I discovered this Bat mobile Art Car replica (not shown here) in the garage of this incredible lit house which I had the pleasure of being dragged to on Christmas eve by my sister in law. Since I went to all this trouble to write this up I thought maybe there were more of these budget mods hiding around the country, so here they are.

Totally off subject, off color and on Christmas eve but a good clean, fresh Porta Pottie is hard to find on a long road trip or at some public event. The best time to get in one is first thing in the morning when they are clean and the blue juice in the hole is freshly poured. These bad boys are not only functional but aesthetically pleasing, because you want people starring at the art when youre in there doing business. The whole idea is not to draw attention to your self in public when using the Porta Pottie, in fact if you can get in and out of there without anyone noticing, then mission accomplished. These artfully done units defeat the whole "secret potty mission" thing and ruin it for the rest of us who are trying to keep a low profile.
