Creative minds
With that kind of local creative genius,I'm sure Chicago will be a sure winner in their bid for the Olympic Games! By the way,I would suggest running only extra virgin olive oil in that one-of -a-kind rear end!!

A modern art sculpture of that importance should be in a major art collection or world class art or automotive museum displayed on a pedestal with the proper lighting, environmental controls, state of the art security system and armed guards for protection.

It's beauteous.

It's a ford 8.8", and It only took an hour. All this junk just happened to be laying around in my garage so it was fast going once the idea popped in my head.

Someone has WAYYY too much time on their hands!!
Sure beats the plain ol' jack 'o lantern... But why not use an orange one? Too weak?
