Milk carton

Milktropolis, a giant milk carton and cereal bowl art car is for sale on Craigslist. It is a modified 1992 Ford Explorer that features a 10-foot diameter fiberglass cereal bowl filled with 80 custom-made cereal-shaped pillows. The bowl seats 10 or more people and its 25-foot tower seats 4 passengers. To enter the vehicle, you climb a spoon ladder and you leave by exiting down a slide. While it is not street legal, it could be used as a Mutant Vehicle at Burning Man. It was conceived and built by Jon Zensius, Bob Dow, Natalie Zensius and Stephanie Rose at NIMBY in Oakland, California. Their website has many images of the vehicle including ones showing the extensive documentation of its creation process.
