*Half Ton Transformer-style Wine Rack made of auto transmission parts
*
For the discerning individual who appreciates artwork and wine - you now
have a great opportunity to meld those together into one piece of artwork
that will display your bottle collection like no other wine rack. This will
make you the talk of your wine club, HOA, alcoholics anonymous support
group, etc...

There are only several times in one's life when one has the opportunity to
purchase something that is RIDICULOUSLY COOL. This is one of those moments.

Need something unique? Sure, you could certainly go to the local Mercedes
dealership and pick up a G55 or wait until next year's G63 comes out and
yes, it would be unique, you'd be the talk of your friends, and ride around
in style but it wouldn't be any different than the next G55 or G63 rolling
around. Nooooo waaaaaaay man! Those suckers are mass produced!! You see
those all over the place in Scottsdale!

What ya need is a one-off piece of artwork that you will not find anywhere
else in the metropolitan area and likely - the entire state.

SPECIFICATIONS
Height: 6 feet
Weight: Approx 1,000lbs
Material contents: Used transmission parts from automobiles and
motorcycles. There are even parts on the statue that are stamped with the
"Ford" logo
Bottle capacity: 32 bottles depending on size of bottle.

All parts used to artistically weld together this stunning piece of artwork
have been dipped into a solution to neutralize and remove any oil, grime,
or chemicals to ensure there are no corrosive chemicals left. The entire
piece was then painted gun metal grey and then clear coated. It has blue
LED lights that have been carefully wired into the body all along the leg
and up into the torso to the top of the shoulder. There are also LED lights
mounted in the "calf" of the leg.

Interested in buying this ridiculously awesome wine rack that will push you
into celebrity status amongst your peers/neighborhood/human race?

Gimme a call at 602.459.4819.

Thanks for sharing, Chris. One of the few times where the word "awesome" actually fits.

Right? :)

I'm guessing the wife was, like, "Dude. You've *got* to get that thing out
of our living room."

I imagine that moment coincided with a truly awesome hangover.
