I've always thought it would be great to cover a car in pink flamingos so this is the next best thing for me, blog entry filled with flamingo cars and bikes. Its also funny to me how different each art car is from each other, ranging from mounted flamingos to painted flamingos. I like this first one, with a few flamingos mounted high up on poles on a jet black car, very striking(sorry no more drive through for you). I also included an art car with a wanted sign asking people for flamingos to take his current art car to the next level. And lets not forget the flamingo art bikes. Today is good day for something pink
Pink Toe Truck The Toe Truck, finally an art car that came along to put the nightmares to rest. When people say "toe truck" its hard for some of us NOT to think of a giant pink toe, on wheels doing repo jobs on the weekends. Question is, do the toe nails need to be trimmed? Are pedicures done every 5,000 miles or so? and does it ever get caught in a toe jam during rush hour traffic?
With all this swine flu going around I figured it was a matter of time before ACC got infected with the "Swine Car Flu". Before the flu these were just good-ol-fashion "pig art cars". The resent Swine Flue scare has probably made it hard for people to drive their Swine Cars around town without causing a panic. It's hard enough driving a regular art car without the added stigma of the Swine Flu over your head on your way to the grocery store. Hopefully when this blows over the world production of pig cars will resume again and we can can all enjoy bacon on wheels once again.

Burly Pink Pedal Powered Tank More photos on flickr
This Burly Pink Pedal Powered Tank was built to freak people out at the 2ND annual Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby. It is a human-powered pink camouflage art tank vehicle that and can soak onlookers in water or vaporized hot dogs. This Pink Tank is the brainchild of a 30-year-old Philadelphia gearhead Vin Marshall who managed to persuade nine of his friends to build the 2,000-pound replica, complete with a functioning pneumatic cannon. The idea was to make this beast human powered so a computer model showed that it could fit hardware for six pedalers and yield about 1.5 horsepower. Using tires instead of tank treads they gave it bicycle-like gearing to get more power from less exertion. They used a salvaged rear differential (which allows wheels to spin independently) from an old truck axle made turning more efficient. It took them 11 days and $3,000 along with suspension and steering from an old Geo Metro and a Ford 150 pickup. The frame and axles were built from scratch, to ensure the tank would not buckle under the tank’s enormous weight. Six old 10-speeds provided the pedals, cranks and bottom brackets. The group replaced the bicycles' regular chain wheels with industrial-grade chains and sprockets to handle the increased load on the transmission.Official Web Site is Tango Echo
Here is also a video and the funny thing is that the there is a clip of the deathmobile from animal house Episode 5 of the TE Labs Show: Team Pzkpfw
I don't know what happened again, one thing led to another as it always does and I found these pink bikes. Once again the internet comes through with another dazzling display of pink art bikes. Where were you all my life?
