    Art car parades are sooo fun! We recently had a parade here in the Twin Cities, it was a huge blast!

    My favortie place in the world for art cars, and art alone is Burning Man! Look it up there are some great pieces of work and tons of them shoot flame! Last year there was a huge giant duck, its was the size of roughly two buses!
