Hummer H3 made from $35,000 lottery tickets
What do you get when you use $35,000 worth of losing lottery tickets and build a car with them? A Hummer H3 perhaps? How ironic they chose a Hummer!
Brooklyn-based artists Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was collected $35,000 such tickets and built Hummer H3.
The tickets came from local bodegas, where they were discarded by unlucky patrons.
Beside looking very cool, the piece, called “Ghost of a Dream,” also has a message behind it.
Was and Ecktrom came up with the idea when they realized that most people think of buying a car when they dream about winning the lottery - hence the name of the project. They also wanted for the paper Hummer to contain the value of a real working Hummer, and they succedeed.
I wonder if they checked each and every lottry ticket, just in case, before gluing them on?

2009 Audi A5 , Cars Pictures
The Audi A5 and its high performance derivative, are compact executive or entry-level luxury cars. The new Audi A5 makes design statement of sportiness and elegance with its sporty silhouette, its precisely drawn lines powerful surfaces, its expressive front face and equally distinctive tail. The broad, low body measures in at 4.63 meters in length; its overall proportions are defined by the short front overhang and elongated transition from the C pillars to the short tail panel.
The large air inlets and headlights reflect the precision and modern technology of Audi while the LED daytime running lights underscore the sporty look of the A5. The mighty trapezoidal C pillar emphasize the car's sporty appeal and the marked outline of the wheel arches with their curving contours drawn into the wide shoulder line complete the unique look of sculptured dynamics.
Elegance, ergonomics and functionality dominate the interior of the A5, as do the exclusive materials used and the top-of-the-line craftsmanship that is a trademark of Audi. The entire cockpit architecture is clearly focused on the driver. The fourseater offers the generous space of a full-fledged touring car even in the backseat, and its 455 liters of trunk space means there is always room for those few extra shopping bags.
