                  Extreme automobiles, Ft. Lauderdale edition
                                        
Bunny and I stopped by Josef & Joseph [1] to have them fix Bunny's watch (it
turned out to just need a new battery). Inside is a large collection of
clocks, watches and jewelry. Outside, however, was this!

[A silver car, longer than a limousine with an assortment of ornamants
adorning the outside] “That's not a limousine, this is a limousine!” [2]
 [3] [The frontend of a silver car with nine, count them, nine, headlights
spanning the front grill] I don't think I'd want this barrelling towards me
from behind at night! [4]
 [5] [The other side of a three-times longer than normal silver car with
three baloon-like things leaned up against it] This is so unusual of a car
that three aliens have come down to examine it closely. [6]
 [7] [Closeup detail of the car, sporting emblems from VW, BMW, and Cadilac,
with a model air plane strapped to the top, all silver] I don't think those
wings are capable of supporting flight. Probably for the best. [8]
 [9] 

When I asked about the car inside, I was informed that indeed, it could
drive, so it's a working car, made of a VW, BMW and Cadilac welded together
and painted silver. And it was delivered as part of an Elvis Presley [10]
exhibit at Josef & Joseph. What Elvis has to do with a Mad-Max inspired
limousine is beyond me. But it's there, and it's awesome.

It's also been there so long you can see it on Google's street view [11]!
