More of an experiment than anything else = )

Very cool!  As others have commented, the use of tires is pretty
original...
But I really wanted to comment on the chrome headlights.  They make me
think
of the barbar's song from Man of La Mancha:

   DON QUIXOTE: spoken
              Hand it over!

   BARBER: spoken
              But this is nothing but a shaving basin!

   DON QUIXOTE: spoken
              Shaving basin!! Dost not know what this really is?

              sung
              Now Golden Helmet of Mambrino,
              with so illustrious a past...
              too long hast thou been lost to glory,
              Th'art reunited now at last.

              Golden Helmet of Mambrino,
              there can be no hat like thee.
              thee and I now, 'ere I die, now
              will make golden history.

Ahh, what a show, what a show! I saw it on July 8th, here in Boston, performed
by what I think were college students (but I'm not sure...)

The ultimate message was great. Follow your dreams, no matter what anyone else
says. Amen to that!

P.S. One of my favorite Hebrew songs, "It's all for you", is a sort-of
dialogue between Don Quixote and a young girl, who might be Dulcinea... in the
chorus, the girl says: "oh, Don Quixote, don't be so innocent / in the world,
kiddo, there's no place for simple dreamers"... boy, is she wrong... but I
love the song nonetheless. ;-)

Thank you...

Here's a first...

Now I know I have elicited a few smiles and some head scratching
before....but my creations have never moved anyone to song before...lol

I guess if .pirates can lay claim to Pirates of Penzance, it's only logical
for us to "tilt at windmills"

Actually, the chroe headlight really has a comical effect when you don't use
the cape...it looks like a kid wearing dad's helmet...
