$25,000 'Cupcake Car' comes with a matching hat

$25,000 \'Cupcake Car\' comes with a matching hat

$25,000 sounded like a lot to me. Well, at first. Then I noticed that each giant Cupcake Car comes with a matching hat. That's one sweet deal.

Still not sold? Well, maybe you should factor in that each electrically powered 'cake zips along at a cool seven miles-an-hour and is probably the most delicious-looking collection of sheet metal, wire, fabric and wood ever assembled. Impressive, right?

The high price comes from the fact that each one is custom designed with your choice of toppings and colors. It all started as a project for Burning Man, created by a team of artists led by the Bay Area's Lisa Pongrace.

Yeah. Like nowadays we can totally afford a 25k cup cake mobile. Anyone who buys these are either rich off their ass, or stupid. Probably both.
