Monster Garage did a cool episode on "Backyard Monsters" where they showed a bunch of creations that other people had made. Here are some that I was able to find links for:
- Dobbertin Surface Orbiter (photo links at the bottom). Built out of an oil tanker, it can travel on land and sea.
- Draka. When we saw this, we immediately said "Burning Man" (confirmed by this unfortunate article) It's a gigantic dragon vehicle that shoots flames.
- Shortcut High. A chopped school bus that gives new meaning to "short bus."
- Carthedral. A Goth chick's dream car.
- Mirabilis Statuarius Vehiculum. A car witha bunch of artsy stuff glued on top of it.
Note to visitors: there are no b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s on this site. Sorry for the funny spelling, but the next paragraph should explain.
There are several comments posted asking for b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s that I have deleted it. I did those not out of malice, but because I believe that your comments are making this page show up in google searches for people looking for b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s. I have now removed all references to the word b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s (with the correct spelling) on this page, so hopefully those people who are doing those searches end up elsewhere.
If you are about to post a comment, please do not ask for b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s. I wish you the best of luck on your project, but you won't find any b-l-u-e-p-r-i-n-t-s here.

I must point out that the visual association CNN made in their article is misleading. They have a photo of Draka - but Draka was NOT the art car involved in this unfortunate and freak accident. Please don't perpetuate this misinformation!
Thanks!

Hi Fry,
I only meant to imply that Draka was at Burning Man, but thank you for clearing up the ambiguity. BTW, I was talking with someone who was at Burning Man the other day and he described the "art car" as a small lame pickup with a sofa in the back, or something of the like. I don't know how this qualifies as an art car, but oh well.
