Everybody must have heard about the show “Pimp My Ride” with the funny host Xzibit. Here you can see a selection of ten rides that have crazy and amazing interiors. You can find anything from Hello Kitty and Xbox interior to Retro and Rainbow interior. It must have cost loads of money to create something like that. Imagine owning one. I know I wouldn’t feel so comfortable riding in one of these because they attract way to much attention.
Chinese artist Dai Geng is asking 80,000 for this BMW even though it handles like a brick. And that’s because it is one – or rather hundreds to be precise.

Scott Wade – a talented artist, who like every creative and curious person can’t resist a dirty rear car window. Wade started to produce simple hearts or phrases such as “Wash me, you dirty fellow” on the windshields and windows of cars. Later on, he improved his skills and now he can make a Mona Lisa or a Rembrandt by using the ‘dust extraction’ technique.
