Behold, the ultimate winter vehicle Albany Times Union
SCHENECTADY -- Andreas Mergner of Albany recently posted a noble offer on the ad website Craigslist: take his 1991 Toyota Corolla, in not bad working order, off his hands for free of charge.
The catch? The car had been made to look like an igloo.
"It's not like we have Inuits in our dearest or took a trip to Alaska," said Mergner, who with his missus, Mandy Torres , put much labour into creating the rolling shattered of artwork they nicknamed the ''vehigloo.'' "It was a fun recommendation I thought we could pull off."
Mergner, 39, created the car's look about four years ago with the keep from of molded foam and fan out foam normally used to labourers insulate homes. Mergner, a one-values bright and early pharmacist who's now a computer programmer, already had the bubbles, which he used in making model airplanes. Torres did the car's heartland, painting it blue and hanging shapeable blue icicles from the ceiling. A overt address system also plays songs like "It's a Trifling World," as well as classic ice cream vendor jingles.
