The lipstick car

I saw this when I was doing some grocery shopping yesterday

The little compact mirrors open up but the lipsticks aren't real. They are the plastic display models you often see in grocery store.

Why a lipstick car? I have no idea.
This is the owner's answer.

Why?
Why not?

Seriously, though...I love to express myself in what I'm wearing, the home I live in, the garden I tend and now, even my car.

She has a website but it's down at the moment.

They always looked like this

I think he gave some of them a red paint job so that the red lipstick wouldn't work so good.

My brother once covered a car with astroturf... don't know why.

I'm sure he wasn't the first, and looking at Google images, hundreds of people have had the same idea...

There's even one with growing plants on it. I think the owner has a nursery.
