I saw this carrot car in the Holland, MI Tulip Time parade this weekend and did a double take.

Yep. That's an early Miata under there answering the question of "I need a carrot themed art car for local parades. What should I buy?"

What are some other interesting questions that the Miata was the answer to? Bonus points for pictures.

Christmas tree hauler.  Pic is in my garage.

I also have a photo somewhere of using the car to haul a 20ft extension ladder home.  Fits right in, just like the tree.

My thoughts exactly.  My youngest daughter wants her first car to be a pickle car thanks to those books.

Ab-so-freakin-lutely.  I would ask what car to use as a base, but we all already know the answer.

Is the body/fuselage made from 55-gallon drums?

Yep. Definitely bodied with 55 gallon drums. And you can't miss the solid steel greenery sticking off the back.
