Russian Ice Artists Made This 1:1 Scale Toyota Land Cruiser

[cocotaso1]

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a pretty hot model around the world. But it took the Russians to make it cool. We have few hard, cold facts and only small slivers of information about these photos, but it seems the icy Toyota was part of the International Snow & Ice Festival in Perm, Russia.

Artists took a huge chunk of ice and shaved it down to the temporary art installation you see here. The sub-zero SUV comes complete with a full interior accessed by the (permanently frozen open) driver's side door. The steering wheel and seats look to be upholstered in, well, dirt. With the back seats removed, the frigid four-door is a pretty slick ride in which to chill out.

i feel you.

i was just thinking as a show piece tho.

but it does get/stay cold in some parts of russia and i bet they aren't too heavy handed w/ papers like over here. give em a few rubles and a bottle of vodka, bet the police will look the other way.
