NEXT STEP: SLAM IT!!!

say hello to the pavement


parked the Packard at Craig'z back yard in Inglewood
to get agave margaritas
and something screwy happened to the suspension

because now the body of the Packard is touching the ground




it seems like the coil and leaf springs have been sliced right out of the car.


luckily i think we can put some airbags in there to get her off the turf, but not too high... probably only like 4 inches
at full bag height




ridiculous

might as well weld titanium strips to the underside of the frame so real sparks shoot out when she scrapes

might as well fabricate some gruesome sinister sidepipes to boot. and maybe some low pro whitewalls



doctor doom already asked me for a ride

anybody know about this thing?

well forget Banksy i just want a wall from the Packard plant!

I been in some old factories like that, and a common thing in those days was painting worker morale murals on the walls...

and maybe some naked Packard ladies with their honkers and highbeams and dagmars and junk in the trunk.

or maybe just the Pelican.


p.s. this dude Banksy got everybody fooled. they are tearin walls out of factories for his crappy stencils ????
ridiculous.

that being said, BRING ME THE PELICAN

Graffiti artist Banksy leaves mark on Detroit and ignites firestorm


Banksy was here. But what's really fascinating is what happened after he left.


The British-born art world celebrity and provocateur, who hides behind a cloak of anonymity and whose graffiti paintings have made headlines from Los Angeles to London, has tagged Detroit -- most prominently a crumbling wall at the derelict Packard plant.
But only the Packard plant piece has appeared on his Web site, www.banksy.co.uk.

It's unclear when it was painted, but the 555 artists were tipped off May 8 by a friend who saw the work on Banksy's site and recognized Detroit. By Monday, they had assembled a posse of five to 12 workers and began digging out the work. It took two full days to complete the job.
As photos of Banksy's Detroit handiwork spread through the blogosphere this week, critics began questioning the 555 group's removal of the Packard plant painting. At the photo blog detroitfunk.com, one commentator called them thieves rather than rescuers and wrote, "Banksy put it there for a reason, for anyone who cared enough to enter the death-trap to see it."


Staff member Eric Froh said that while the painting's meaning has shifted outside of the Packard plant, it retains an expressive power akin to Renaissance religious artifacts or antiquities uncovered by archeologists and now seen in museums. He also noted that the controversy has already become part of its accumulated meaning.

"The work can now live on for many years," said Froh.

yeah im with u man
but airbags are in the future
