I know, I know... :worthless:

But driving on Expo Blvd today, before Quebec St and there is this monument with cars stacked on top of each other. A white Pontiac Trans AM, then a E34 BMW, 4dr Black EG Civic, then a pink VW Cabriolet, then some red unit I couldn't identify.

Anybody living DT wanna grab some pics.

Is this new?
Discuss.

Looks like the red thing has the grille of a MK3 Golf, but the fenders look like something completely different. Obviously Merc hubcaps but I have no idea what the body is made up of.

Also those E38s are not small cars by any means, I had no idea a Firebird was really that big.

[westopher]

It's an e38 7 series.
Also it looks stupid.

[StanleyR]

yeah, those Firebirds were huge!

inb4 Translink funded this for $150K...

this is on my commute to work.
I saw these guys working on it since the beginning of the week, but didn't realize what it was until a couple days later when all the cars were stacked up. they did the cars in one day I think.

snapped this on Wednesday

[bcrdukes]

Hipsters :facepalm:

[StanleyR]

I'm thinkin the bottom car is supposed to be a Smart car (MB), but obviously they arent' cheap enough yet to use on an art piece. so they settled for some MB 190 hubcaps :pokerface:

[The_AK]

I bet all the cyclists are raving about this "anti-automobile artwork"

[twitchyzero]

they've been working on this for months at Cap U...i walked by it every time to class

[mk1freak]

they should've used the expo line train cars....they're old and ratty enough for "art"

[boostedcivic]

[pastarocket]

Did the Hulk start to get so bored that he made Jenga blocks out of those cars? :troll:
