I saw an "art" car one time on the freeway that was covered nose to tail in 5 1/4" floppy disks. They were about half glued on and flapped in the wind. Dumbest thing I ever saw.

What I want to know is, A) How many hits they get on that website printed on the car, just from seeing it. B) How many of the previous readers of this thread actually went there too? :lol:

EDIT

Oh and C) Does this poor Honda not know it will never be a Volkswagen?

A good reason to shop at Lowes

Yeah, he could have purchased wood for a speaker box, primer for the body, mesh for the grille, rubber trim for a lip, toggle switches for accessories, pretty much anything but all those toys.

Maybe he mistook someone that told him his lug bolt spacing was 51/4. "You need to get some of those spinning discs on there. I think yours is 5 1/4 pattern." And in that case, floppy disks wouldn't be his worst problem. :lol:

OK, I'll confess - I worked on a couple art cars. Back in the mid '80s the L.A. County Museum of Art hosted a party where everybody could glue various items all over a '76 Cutlass sedan (they must have gotten donations from every junky import store in downtown L.A.). Meanwhile a couple other guys were attaching a forties International big truck grille/hood to the trunk. It looked about as bad as it sounds.

The other time was when several friends and I glued over 22,000 1" square mirror tiles all over a '71 Pinto, because making a disco ball out of a Pinto at least makes sense, kind of. :wacko:
