I can’t recall which reader sent me these images (they were in an attachment that I saved but deleted the email apparently) and I don’t know if the story that went with it was true but the skill it took to make these can cars is impressive and they look so cool!  Here’s the story:

 

Supposedly there was an elder man that was thought to be homeless and was often seen rummaging through dumpster and pick-up cans in the street.  He was often ridiculed by some of the local kids and made fun of because he always appeared dirty and disheveled.  According to the story he never reacted to the taunts, but went about his business.   At some point the man’s body was found on the street and the police traced him to an apartment nearby.  Upon entering the small flat, they found these cars made out of some of the cans the man had collected.

True?  I don’t know.  What I do know and I think you would agree these are very cool!!!
