Garbage can be reworked into some pretty incredible items, of which Sandy's CanCars Hot Rod is a refreshing example. Made of 20 cans of Coca-Cola, this hand-sculpted model vehicle costs about $2,000 -- having outvalued the liquidless soft drink containers by 100 times their original cost.
Sandy's CanCars Hot Rod is detailed down to the engine and the dashboard. Supported with superglue and a balsa wood substrate, this pop can mini automobile brings recycling to a new level of artistry.
