This car, by Firas Abu-Jaber, is out to get you. I meant to blog this right after it was posted, but I forgot. I’m not perfect, okay? Anyway, it deserves to be showcased, as its freakin’ sweet! I’m loving that giant snake too.
Flickr user Apple Pie presents his hot rod pickup called “Jam Jam,” featuring functional steering and opening doors and tailgate. There are many details to check out on this classy ride, all of which you can see in the gallery on MOCpages.

The indomitable Mike Crowley is on a roll. He has blessed us with yet another incredible Star Wars miniland character. This time its Ponda Baba and his trick arm.
