It's not every day we stop by the side of the road to shoot pictures of a 20-year-old car with a flat tire. Then again, it's not every day we see a car adorned with little plastic army men, rubber snakes, toy God-zillas and giant plastic bugs — to mention only a few features of this odd-mobile. This tribute to Andy Warhol was abandoned on the Interstate 696 service drive in Southfield, MI, in mid-June and sat there, on display, for a good long while. The police apparently don't want to haul the car away for fear that no one will come to claim it. Actually, glue a few more rubber sharks to the front bumper, and you'd have one heckuva crash absorber. Hmmmm.
