Topsy-Turvy Bus

Note to flashy car lovers: Glue polyurethaned breakfast burritos and Slinky toys all over your precious rides; cloak them in faux ferret fur; modify them to resemble giant slabs of sashimi and follow Kikkoman delivery trucks around town. Turn them into art cars in other words. People will definitely notice you then.

Don't believe me? Listen to Ben Cohen (of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream). He commissioned art car artist extraordinaire Tom Kennedy to build him a school bus on top of another school bus. He's using it to deliver his "topsy-turvy" message to Americans. Cohen says he wants presidential candidates to reconsider what the feds spend our tax bucks on. He says our current spending priorities are upside down. Get it? Topsy-turvy?

But Ben Cohen is not the only guy driving around in crazy cruiser creations. See an art car caravan that delivered the famed art cars "Carthedral" and "Mondrian Mobile" to a future art car museum called Art Car World. It's being created on the Arizona/Mexico border. On the trip from the San Francisco Bay area down to the border, the caravan had more cameras pointed at it than Brangelina leaving an African orphanage.

We pointed our cameras at them, too. View the photos or watch the videos to find out about the topsy-turvy bus, why enthusiasts make art cars in the first place, and to tag along on a musical caravan journey.
