Look Geppetto, I'm a real car! The story of Pinocchio just got a really cool, modern twist, no Blue Fairy required.
Wood carver Isaac Cohen, a modern day Geppetto, has created a fully functioning wooden car named 'Splinter.'
'Splinter,' which apparently took some 13 years to design and produce, looks like the car James Bond would use if metal hadn't been discovered or if he were supremely environmentally conscious. It just made its debut after being declared roadworthy early in September, according to the CCTVNews Facebook page.
"The designer Isaac Cohen has been a wood carving hobbyist since he was a teen, and started up a carpentry business in 1985," says the post. "He decided to take on the challenge of making a fully functioning wooden car in 2002."
Who wouldn't want to take a ride in this vehicle and feel like eco-cool 007? Doesn't it look impressive?
