Hell, just cover the roof of a Ford Expedition or stretch Town Car in AstroTurf and paint field stripes so kids can play soccer on it.

A racing stripe with white jonquils would be the boss!

Okay...Lada Niva, Renault Kangoo, VW Type 1, Smart ForTwo, Citroen 2CV, uh...does anyone know what the next one is? I reckon it's Japanese; maybe an old Civic or a Daihatsu Mira or something. Anyway...Toyota Previa, VW Jetta, Mercedes-Benz (C or E-Class, I think), Honda Element, Honda Civic Coupé, VW Jetta.

Can I have a cookie?

Will GM announce the "SOD 9-3"?

Will Flex Fuel now include Scott's Turf Builder?

I've just spotted the only thing uglier than a Honda Element! ...A Honda Element covered in fake grass.

@smokeydog001: lmho wow Hey instead of the guy in the middle of the intersection, offering to wash your window for a quarter, he'll trim your lawn.

I wonder what this really does to aerodynamics. It seems to me that all of the blades would lay down at speed and not really cause much drag. The blades might even create little vortexes... I imagine the additional weight might kill the gas mileage more than the increased drag.

Hey if you reach out and put one blade between your hands at high speed, will it whistle?

Unless that is real grass absorbing the CO2 and producing more oxygen, those cars are certainly not green. Can anyone say "high drag coefficient?"

You know, I was going to say something about the fact that green camo is for European battlefields and that our problems for the next 100 years are likely to come from the land of sand, but didn't want to take the thread in a political direction (or be accused of doing so).

So now that you guys have excused me from such, I will say that the US Military needs to find some kind of camo that will make their vehicles look like catboxes.

Maymar is convinced M.C. Escher engineered his car — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 19:16:26 EST

My first car was painted Spruce (at least that's what Chrysler called it) - does naming the colour after a tree make it a Green car?

a green car that gets less fuel mileage than its predecessor.....oh well, at least it looks cool.

Depending on the crop planted, this could bring an interesting new appeal to doing smoky burnouts...

Does the local drive-thru carwash have a 'gentle rinse only' setting?

@clinto:
"Hey Vladmir, come look over there!"
"What Dimitry? What do you see?"
"Doesn't that strange moss-covered rock kind of look like a Sherman tank?"
"Dah, comrade, it kind of does!"
"I've never seen a rock that's so smooth and elongated before. Let me take a picture and show it to my babushka..."

(This, of course, assuming that we're still valiantly conquering the Russian bear with our jet-powered passenger trains and our sexually liberated capitalist lifestyle.)

To make a grass car I'm guessing they cover the car with burlap, then slather on a mix of rye grass seeds and mud. Water regularly, and it'll sprout in a few days.
