Houston Art Car Parade

Thought I'd share some pictures from today's annual Art Car Parade

 

another

 

We had the Cockroach, then the dof, now the dragon...

 

The Flower Car

 

The Nail Car

 

The Austin Band the Neptones

 

The Ram

 

And the Rat Car. Very nice indeed. The driver would drop a potato to simulate the poop of the rat as he drove down the road. Very nice.

 

I have no idea what this is

 

Nor this

 

The St. Arnold's Brewery Bentley, I believe.

 

The Trojan Horse

 

Two Beetles

 

The car made out of wood

 

And finally, the zebra car. I'm inspired, 2006 here I come.

Pat,thanks so much!!!!!! These are great. The best Art Car I ever saw was on the cover of one of the US magazines a few years back- it was (I think) a 59 Chevy- the owner had taken off the entire body and remounted it on the chassis BACKWARDS so that when you saw it going down the road, it looked like it was backing towards you- at 65 mph. Very cool. I think he got pulled over a lot.
thanks again...made my evening.

I love the extra feature of dropping poop potatos.
Good fun. Some people are nuts. Good laugh.
