Handicapped??  I'll say....

[Jim B]

My eyes! ?

How does he even see around to drive.

Endless blindspots!

But at least he'll be in shape when he does have an "incident".

[modelercarl]

Mentally handicapped!

[Snake45]

The REALLY weird thing is the USMC decals on it. 

[NOBLNG]

Well that is just Strange. Is He/She a Vet?  Obviously they are trying to make some kind of statement…what that is I have Nooo idea!?

What has been seen, cannot be unseen...

It’s an Art Car. Dunno where OP is but it’s a funky thing. Been ongoing in Houston for ages.

Must be really hard to wash that thing.  Forget waxing!  Must use touchless car wash.

This may hurt the resale on this.

This guy has been around with this “car” for a few years now ,he just keeps adding to it, today is the first time I have seen it in quite some time.

It's a shame that people who dare to work outside of society's box are met with suspicion and derision.  I spent a day at an art car even years ago and the people were fun to be with.  Just ordinary artistic folks who happened to paint their cars up in funky ways or glue things to them.  Art cars bring joy.

I'm not making fun of the "skull PT". Just surprised seeing it.  Yes, I made a semi-joke. I didn't think it was nasty. Not all art is the same either, and not all art is understood by all folks. I don't see "art" in Picasso's paintings either. Still, his "art" is highly prized by others.  Our models can also be considered "art", especially those highly modified or scratch-built ones.

How can this thing be registered and legally driven on the road? Last time I checked, something hanging off a rearview mirror is not allowed in the US.

I'll freely admit to taking part in such a creation - twice; first time at the Museum of Contemporary Art when the public was invited to glue all kinds of little items on a '76 Cutlass sedan (haven't found a photo yet), and second when I was part of the crew that glued some 22,000 mirror tiles on the now-sort-of-famous Disco Pinto:

I mostly worked on the driver side front fender and the passenger door.

Having all those things items glued to a car would certainly discourage tailgating.

Not my style but I appreciate the effort and results.

[slusher]

That should not be allowed to driven on any public road.

[JollySipper]

You guys that DO like art cars should check out some of the creations people take to the Burning Man festivals...

[keyser]

Funny. Lots of USMC stuff on it, and bulk of stuff is skulls. Prob therapeutic for PTSD guys, and fun for everyone I know that has one or worked on one. 
I’ve seen Disco Pinto. Cool you worked on it.

No disrespect meant, especially if the owner is a vet. But just because it’s outside the box doesn’t automatically make it art. Each to his own I guess.?‍♂️

[keyser]

Pretty accepting group too. 
Here’s Art car museum in Houston.

The title alone told me not to look but I did anyway. When will I learn to listen to myself?

[NYLIBUD]

What is that?I guess the owner likes skulls.??
