Kick The Tires On The Iced-Out BMW Igloo

Today in Munich, the first ever ice car went on display at the Pinakothek der Moderne museum. Created by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, the installation called “Your Mobile Expectations” is housed in a refrigerated room within the museum. The artist removed the frame from BMW’s Hydrogen-powered H2R concept car and replaced it with an ice covered shell. The yellow glow at the bottom makes a nice effect that would fit right in on Kanye’s Glow In The Dark Tour. The project will be on display until July 20. See a video of the marvel below.

The Batmobile Is For Sale On Ebay

If you’re a real 80’s baby, you might remember watching the live-action Batman show at Six Flag’s Great Adventure around 1989. It was a re-enactment of certain scenes from the movie, complete with a replica of the Batmobile (keyword: replica). The car you now see before you, is the real deal. One ambitious eBay seller is looking to get rid of one of the five actual Batmobiles from the Tim Burton classic for a cool $500,000 bucks that actually works, just not street-legal. Here’s what he had to say about some of the vehicle’s specs:

The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie.

If that doesn’t convince you to come out of pocket yet, the gallery of close-ups will after the jump.
