Urban Trash Art Car from Brazil - Country covered in trash gets a makeover

This Urban Trash Art Car is brought to you by Urban Trash Art that I found via my new ACC central follower Rodrigo Machado who posted it on his blog. Not really a street legal art car due to the lack of any front or side impact safety zones. But it is a good use of trash and these guys go around Brazil and reconstruct trash into these amazing sculptures. I guess that means there is a lot of trash laying around Brazil. Nice work guys!!! Here is the video as well of the two gusy in action.

I recently came across a web site that make Custom Tire Covers called Threads to Treads. If you have an exposed spare tire you want to protect from the weather and add some artistic flaire, this is the way to go. They are made by the "Sweat Shop Girls" in Redding, California and the only limits is your imagination, so get yours today. Below are the ones available for sale and my all time favorite is the Darth Vader one, and if you like these they have more in flickr.

CB Radio King Rules the Air with $25,000 Of Communications Gear In A $500 Car

Via Jalopnik

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!This $500 Dodge for sale is covered with $25,000 Of Communications Gear for every conceivable band (FM/UHF/HF/VHF/SPACEMAN). It deserves a mention first because of the obsessive nature to cover ever conceivable service with multiple objects of the same genre and second because of the stunning overall visual effect it creates. The equipment covers and amazing array of technologies with a ton of handheld 144 MHz radios and capable of listening to every police/fire/ems/military channel in the world. Don't forget there is also a laptop computer that probably covers cellular or satellite communication as well. Most art cars have CB radios when traveling together in groups and this guy would be more than welcome to join our art car party, providing he help out with those of us who are CB "challenged". You my friend are the CB radio King!!!!!
