haux Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 A few miles west of Amarillo, Texas, on Interstate 40 is an art installation you may have heard of. Ten Cadillacs were placed face down halfway in the ground, and people spray-paint on them. My brother was in town, and he wanted to visit it, so we bought spray paint and went to work. I get jokes. The end! Gotta nuke something. Someone wanted to spread the word of the giraffe conspiracy. A face. He painted the eyes. Artsy shot. Durr. More war bonds. He's so 1940s patriotic. He got inside a car to write stuff. Ruined! Look. An apple! My brother dashes to another car. Someone decided to go on a lake break. Then it was ruined. Aw. Two women before us made this. He wrote the first thing that came to his mind: "Buy war bonds." My brother got on a car to paint. Here's what it is.
ebl Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I really wish I'd gone out to see this when I was in Amarillo back in 2005. Funny thing...from a distance, it almost looks like a Vekoma SLC train buried upside down with its seats sticking straight up. Eric
AllenA07 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 A few months ago my wife and I stopped there to spray paint the cars. It's one of the more interesting roadside attractions. It added about an hour or so to my drive, not really sure if it was worth it, but at least I get a story.
ebl Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I know it's west, but how far out of Amarillo is that? Maybe if I show up there again I'll go see it. Eric
paintballer Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 ^ 15-20 minutes out of downtown. Not too bad, I leave my tag each time I go by.
