This is Arma de Instruccion Masiva, a 'weapon of mass instruction'. :-D It's the creation of the Argentinian artist Raul Lemesoff, and these days it can be seen on the streets of Buenos Aires. He's actually a BookCrosser although he may not really know it - he both gives away books from the sculpture as well as accepting donations of books. I think this is so fantastic. Just look at that thing. Brilliant. I'm not really into cars, but I think I'd want one like this. ;-)A few of Lemesoff's photos can be seen on his photostream on Flickr, here - some pretty good shots IMO. More pictures of the Arma, if anyone's interested. Three days ago I'd never heard about this guy, but I like him already. :-)
I'll be cross-posting this to my book blog, Leisha Reads ... a second blog that I set up in January as a place to post book reviews etc. Mostly for my own enjoyment. :-) Feel free to stop by though. :-)

Hello Raul - I can't believe I've been forgetting to reply to your comment ... !! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for commenting here. It's a wonderful project you've started, and I hope it will grow and become all you dream of. :-)
I do like the car, but unfortunately I don't have a driver's license, so even if you made me one I couldn't use it, I'm afraid. But thank you for the offer! and again, thank you for visiting my blog. :-)
