Jun 25 2007Bamboo Jeep
Why buy a jeep when you can just build one out of bamboo? This thing was built in the Philippines and was originally used for personal use, but has begun being used for important officials who visit the province. Because nothing says class like a car built out of vegetables.

I am pretty sure I've seen this before. Didn't Gilligan accidentally run over the Skipper in it?

When one panda takes bamboo from a stranger, and gets in his bamboo car, that makes me a saaaad panda.

Bamboo is a grass so this would be a car made out of grass. A grass-car as it were. You know, made from grass.

Faggotron, and what are veggies. Are they not plants too?

I got a feeling this is just a normal car with bamboo glued to it. Not really a car made of bamboo.

Why work on better, cleaner cars when we can build on out of frickkin' bamboo! World's best minds at work right there.

Chech and Chong already had a grass-car in the movie Up in Smoke

Joe Mamma,
Not all plants are vegatables.
Just as not all english are scotish but all scotish are english.

hoy!
how about a car made from a balikbayan box with patis for gas?

No it's more like a newt is a salamander, but a salamander is not neccessarily a newt. Scottish-pride folx would beat you over the head with a haggis for insinuating that they're English.

It doesn't look safe. Maybe the creator originally wanted to kill his wife, but then the government saw this thing and thought how it would be great if they could save money from hiring assassins and just have officials use this "car." Bingo! Death by bamboo.

That's about half as cool as my 747 made of popsicle sticks. Which are, in fact, a fruit.

Dammit! They beat me to it! I had a car made out of bamboo first! No wait, I just have a motorcycle made of wood...
