Description:

ivory1.jpgSome carved vehicles are okay, but this one by Folk artist Su Zhongyang, definitely isnt. You see, Su spends a lot of time carving dragons into ivory and yak bone. The carvings themselves doesnt look too bad, especially if you check out some of close-ups in the gallery below. However, its what he did with the carvings that is truly horrifying. As if you cant already tell, the carvings are plastered all over this BMW 3-series thats already on the Tammy Faye-side of the gaudy meter, thanks to the excessive usage of gold and even diamonds. Surprisingly, the ivory rock only adds another 600 pounds or so to the vehicles curb weight, having a who-knows-what effect to the performance. The cars on display in Guangzhous Zhenhai Tower, if anyone feels compelled to see this thing in person. [Born Rich]
