Down at the airport

This interesting hearse is parked at the regional airport where I’m taking classes. The tags are current and the tires aren’t flat, so I have to assume someone’s keeping it up, but it sure could use a bath.

If you can’t tell, the camo pattern is a bunch of cigarette butts. The paint was brushed on. A couple of coats of clear and a some good finish work would make the paint really pop.

Somehow, I don’t think the owner really cares. After all, he’s got barbed wire pop riveted onto the side.

I’d love to see this thing lit up. The lights in the fin are huge. I also wonder if the eyes in the exhaust-tip skulls light up.

I’ll see if I can find out who owns it. I’m dying to know more!

That’s a different twist on warning people about death on cigarette packs.

If one were to own a Vape Shop, this might be a good marketing tool to park out in front.

I wonder what their actual motivation for this thing is. Aside from the obvious smoking  kills reminder, of course.

That might be a better advertising method than some of the ones I’ve seen. Just park this (or one like it) in front of a high school and/or smoke shop every so often. Park one decorated with French fries in at/near a fast food restaurant, vape pens near a vape shop, Mustangs near a Cars & Coffee (har har, I don’t even like the joke but wanted some levity on a cheerful Friday morning), etc.

I found one other picture of it on the web. The poster seems to think it was part of Houston’s annual art car parade .

I’ll have to ask if I get a chance to talk to the owner.
