    I saw this on the way home, parked in front of the people who have (or had) the Mondrian art car.

    You can see from this angle that the car is a work in progress.

    The back window has a diorama.

    I can post more pictures, sharper ones, when the art is completed.

    Very cool.

    I can see cutting CDs in quarters, then glueing them on from back to front to make a sorta irridescent fish scale car.

    Nope. Overlapping them like fish scales. Someone already did this to their car. I saw a picture on UltimateChaos.com. It was for an online contest of sorts on uses for AOL CDs. Their car got third place. I think because they used the irridescent backs so they were no longer identifiable as AOL CDs.

    Best use of both AOL CDs and a Geo Metro.

    I'll bet a Prius would look cool like this.
