Over the weekend, Roadguy paid his first-ever visit to the annual Art Car Parade in Minneapolis. (The photo above is from a vehicle described as a Mercedes-Bones.) While some of the cars were artistic in the classic sense — one had a rendering of “The Scream” — others offered some unusual transportation alternatives.

For example, if your turf-covered vehicle doesn’t have enough interior space…

… just add a rooftop deck for the kids.

Speaking of kids on roofs, this entry…

… included audio of a crying baby and was titled “Oops!”

This scooter, meanwhile, was all about rear-view safety:

Or maybe it was all about narcissism. Either way, the driver won’t be surprised the next time he’s hit from behind.

Alternative energy also made an appearance:

Just twist and drive. And if that doesn’t work, why not get a tow…

… from men in dresses on bicycles? (They really were pulling the van, unless it was some sort of silent hybrid, and it seemed way too old for that.)

Finally, Roadguy was pleased to spot a magnet-covered vehicle that asked a question near and dear to his heart:

The answer: You’re missing a question mark, but your spelling’s fine.

Even if your spelling and punctuation aren’t fine, please leave us a li’l something in the comments below. (And if you haven’t already seen it, there’s an audio slideshow, with photos by a real photographer, here.)
