Art cars

As I was driving home tonight, I noticed a car behind me had a multi-colored hood. It looked rather like a tessellation. It got closer, and, indeed, it was a tessellation: there was an Escher car headed into Cambridge! The hood was covered with three colors of the lizardy tessellation that looks based on the hexagon. There were individual lizards on the sides of the car, as well, more anatomically realistic ones. And there were line drawings on the back bumper that seemed inspired by Daniel Pinkwater's Lizard Music. Very cool.

Last week or so, I saw a van with murals on it, fish swimming underwater. Perhaps Queue remembers it better?

And a couple of weeks ago I saw a silver car with silver-painted figures glued on top. The ones I remember best were upstanding (that is, standing up; no judgement on moral character) dinosaurs.

Are there more art cars out there than there used to be, or am I noticing them more?

Side art note: I now have two license plates that I'm supposed to destroy. Any ideas for what I should do with them, turn them into? One is bent a bit the long way. (I've already had a suggestion for a handbag. (Or a corset. But that sounds painful, frankly, even if it weren't beyond my skills.)).
