Weird Wheels

What do you call a car made from a log? A set of wheels you can play like a drum? And a four wheeled mermaid that loves car washes? Call them Art Cars.

You definitely don't want to leave home without it - your helmet, that is. Not if you're riding your unicycle through the rain forest, or a street luge down a mountain.

Meet four individuals whose extremely weird wheels were never intended to go the farthest or the fastest. They're designed to electrify us. Hop aboard and rate these vehicles for their 'shock' value.

Join us for the West Coast's wackiest wheeled weekend of the year. Kinetic sculptors from far and wide put their peddle-powered creations on the line. The starting line, that is - at the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race in Port Townsend, Washington.

Sad but true - our beloved jalopies don't last forever. Visit an Art Car graveyard. Then, overnight at a trailer park full of vintage classics. Would you believe a quarter mile long fence made of retired tractors?

A motorcycle that resembles a Formula One racer. A car that runs on sunshine. And a one-person Electrathon. Some of these automobile creations are so far out that the designs get lost en route.
