Last week, I was driving down Division Place in Greenpoint when I noticed something at the corner of Porter Avenue…

…what has to be the weirdest limo I have ever seen:

Once a normal Lincoln Towncar, the body has been covered in metalwork straight out of Mad Max:

Everything is jagged and menacing, from the grill and hood…

…to the angles protruding from the roof like dragon scales…

…to the spiked bumper. I can’t recall what Bowser drives in MarioKart 64, but it should have been this:

As it turns out, the limo was made by artist/designer Yarrow Mazzetti, who creates similarly strange and exotic art pieces for his Overkill Movement company. According to this article on TribecaCitizen.com, the metal adornments were inspired by the way Oakley sunglasses wrap around your face. At the time of the article, Mazzetti was using it as his primary vehicle. Oh, and at night, it glows:

You can see more of his Art Car creations here. Mad Max would approve.
