Look -- down the road! It's a fish... it's a dragon... it's an art car!

Talk about a hobby with some pizzazz. Cartists, as art car creators are often known, possess visions as varied as the personalities who wander our planet. From their favorite sport, to beloved childhood tales, to Mother Nature, their inspirations are limitless. Some even choose to use the dirt on the car as their palette, while others turn their cars into living art.

Although it may seem that art car creation is only for the art-car-driving enthusiast, this hobby appears to be without limitations. Famous artists have tried their hands at auto artistry, and it has branched out to inspire installation art and permanent public pieces.

Longing to see an art car in person, but not up for hunting them down at Burning Man or in frozen climes? Not to worry. Just make your way to one of the numerous parades to be found throughout the country or stop by a museum. Art car folks are a welcoming crowd and you're sure to be impressed."

"Getting Smart About Parking
By Michelle Heimburger

Dear Jerk Who Parked So Close We Couldn't Open Our Doors,

You've parked us in for the last time, Mr. (or Ms.) Bad Parker! For months, we've watched you take up multiple spaces, park in compact spots with your giant SUV, and generally disregard the lines. We've wondered about who (if anyone) taught you to drive. We've questioned your eyesight, your sense of civic responsibility, and your sanity. We've given you dirty looks and fake citations, and we've even posted unflattering images of your parking abilities on a variety of sites devoted to bad parkers like yourself. All to no avail -- it seems that you will never learn.

So today, we officially give up. You win. We cannot compete with your monstrous inconsideration, and we cannot show you the error of your ways. Instead, we're getting smart -- a Smart Car, that is. This year they're finally available in the U.S. and we're prepared to suck in and squish ourselves into the teensy 8-foot auto. Sure, we might not have room for our thimble collection. Granted, it might not feel like the mas macho car on the road, and maybe we'll never push all three cylinders to that elusive top speed of 85 mph. But it'll all be worth it when we're able to park sideways."

Oh sweetness!
