Super cool article, love how the driver got bored of car shows and wanted to do something different. Article doesn't appear to mention any of the engine or chassis specifics?!

I saw this very banana car while I was having brunch Sunday morning in Ballard Seattle!

Are you driving a banana, or are you happy to see me?

I'm glad the owner takes it lightly, but isn't this actually an abuse of power? If I can't pull someone over because I want a photo with their car... cops shouldn't be able to either, right?

That's a good looking car. I wish there were more of these on the roads.

There are many of these “art cars” out there. See https://lesblank.com/films/automorphosis-by-harrod-blank/

So many comments in the previous thread and no one mentions the banana car from Bloodhound Gang - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo video.

> Often officers simply wanted photographs. Other times they invented reasons to start a conversation.Who knew that abuse of privilege could be fun! But then I think it's only natural that the LEOs of a banana republic would feel a magnetic attraction to a giant banana.
