The story behind the image
While we spent our summer vacation in Grömitz, Germany, we had the pleasure of attending a historic car show in town. The organizers had pulled together more than 300 stunning cars which filled three greens right next to the beach. Of course, this provided me with countless photo opportunities.
This image shows a truly incredible car – a street car that has been transformed Mad Max Style. It’s more like a rolling work of art than a car but – according to its owner – the car has road approval.
But before we touch that, let’s take a closer look at the car. The paint is all red, black, and dirty. Countless details have been glued to the body underlining the impression that the car has survived a lot of risky situations. A skeleton drives on the top of the car, equipped with a machine gun. Every now and then, the guy exhales smoke. External applications But the eye catchers are not limited to the exterior. Inside the car only the bare necessities are looking okay (like the speedometer and the steering wheel) – the rest looks like it is being held together by sticky tape. Awesome.
You may wonder how on Earth this car could every get a road approval? Well, most of the modifications (e.g., the dragon teeth) are made from super-soft styrofoam. There is zero risk that anyone could get hurt from these modifications. Fortunately, the owners put up an informational poster that featured one of the additions, and it really was super soft. Again, I was speechless.
You can follow the owners on Instagram.
And yes, I thought this image would be a good fit for Halloween. 🙂
