I was watching the Golden State Warriors victory parade in Oakland this morning, and was amazed by the fire-breathing Snail Car. Oakland's mayor was riding atop it.
Apparently the Snail Car was origionally built by some Oakland artists (Oakland has some extraordinary artists) for Burning Man and has now become an Oakland icon.
It's a very fanciful body atop an old VW Bug chassis and engine.
There's a cord, and if those riding on top pull it, flames come out of the eye-stalks.
