At a Glance Montreal artist Simon Laprise spent four hours sculpting a false vehicle in a snow removal zone.

Amused by the fake car, officers left a ticket which read "You made our night!! Hahahahaha :)".

Laprise's car was unfortunately demolished in the morning by removal crews.

When life gives you snow, you make a fake car out of it in a snow removal zone to play a prank on police officers and snowplow drivers alike. That's how that saying goes, right?

Well, it does if you're 33-year-old Montreal machinist and artist Simon Laprise of L.S.D. Laprise Simon Designs . A resident of the borough Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Laprise spent his Sunday afternoon molding the recently fallen snow into a DeLorean DMC-12, as made famous by the movie Back to the Future.

Laprise's finishing touch was masterfully placing a reject windshield wiper on the car's faux windshield, as if it were the only part of the car left exposed. Laprise found the lone wiper blade across the street while sculpting his creation. The solid snow jalopy took around 4 hours to create from start to finish.

After finishing, the police drove by to check the snow removal zones around 1 Monday morning when they came across the snowy vehicle. The interaction resulted in an amazing photo of a lone officer, staring suspiciously at the mound, ticket book in hand.

Amused by the false DeLorean, the officers left Laprise's car with a ticket under its single wiper, reading, "You made our night!! Hahahahaha :)". The car was demolished by snow removal crews later on Monday morning, according to Global News.

"I'm surprised the interest [the car] arouses," Laprise told Radio Canada before admitting this wasn't the first time he had made a car out of snow.

Five others have been molded in Laprise's car-sculpting past, and it the artist claims that this one won't be his last.

"I intend to continue doing so," Laprise said. "It's fun, it's free and [the snow] keeps its form."
