Sleep Tight in the Mercedes Bed
For the Mercedes owner who has everything now you can own a bed made from a Mercedes 8 Coupe - the W115. This unique Art Car Bed comes with its very own under hood, headlights, turn signals, headlight wiper/wash system - they don’t work though - reading lamps, an upholstered headboard, and a nice little comfortable bed to sleep on.
This is the perfect way to get some rest knowing your night trip ahead will be a safe one. Check out this Chevy Bed and don't forget to buckle up and . via

Porta Pottie Art Ruins Secret Mission
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.

Bamboo Art Car - Car hatched in a Japanese Labatory
Via Oddity Central
Developed by Kyoto University Venture Business Laboratory the Bamboo Art Car named Bambgoo is a fully functional vehicle that runs for 50 kilometers on a single charge. This ecological concept car is 270 cm long, 130 cm wide, 165 cm high and only 60 kg heavy. The weird thing is that the body is made entirely out of bamboo and is available for short test drives in Japan, just watch out for the splinters.

Clean Russian in a Bathtub Art Car
I was minding my own business surfing the internet when I run into this busy Russian taking a bath on the way to work. Unfortunate he was late to work that day because the cop had zero sense of humor. Here is what I think the dialogue went like:

Cop: May I see you license and registration please.
via Jalopnik
Cop: May I see you license and registration please.
Driver: Sorry I left in my pants, hanging up at home.
Cop: Do you know how fast you were going?
Driver: about 7 m.p.h.
Cop: I had you doing 9m.p.h. in a 5m.p.h. bath zone.
Driver: I am sorry, my speedometer had soap on it.
Cop: And another thing, I saw you weaving a bit, have you had any thing to drink this morning?
Driver: I was scrubbing my back and dropped the soap in the tub.
Cop: OK I am going to let you off with a warning this time, make sure you scrub before you get on the road and keep both hands on the 10 and 2 position at all times.
Driver: Thank you, it wont happen again.

Banana Bike
Disappointed with the boring styling of conventional cars, Terry Axelson designed a vehicle with more personal appeal. Powered by two legs and a three-speed transmission, the Banana Bike can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour. This Fiberglas and steel Art Car regularly cruises the streets of Sunnyville, California, where it is sometimes taunted by shouts of "Peel out!" Pictured in the Banana bike is Chuck Cirino of Weird TV, a show specializing in alternative culture.

Global Warming Created Art Car During SF earthquake in 1989 at 5:04 pm???

Photo by Harrod Blank
I have been thinking about this artcar for for some time now so I had to write about it, and maybe its because I have a feeling there will be another major earth quake in the San Francisco Bay Area, in the next couple of months. On October 17, 1989 a major earthquake hit San Francisco at 5:04 PM that devastated this area really bad. But the destruction gave birth to an unusual artcar called 5:04 PM. Michael Mikel was wondering around SF after the earth quake when he came upon an Oldsmobile with its top crushed in by a pile of bricks from a wall. He offered to buy the car but the owner just gave to him considering the car a total loss. With some minor repairs and a new number plate "5:04 PM" he had got himself an art, created by one of mother earths nasty tantrums. I guess that's the positive side all that "CO2" is Global Warming Art Cars. Michael you lucky stiff I spent 2.5 years working on my art car, yours took a few minutes. Thank you "Mother Earth" for you creativity and your tantrums once again.
