Fursday Thursday - Who says I need a kindle?

This may have been made as art-car but I really think, that for our next rally (at least) we must have a car that is a tank, made of books. This is not as ridiculuos as it sounds because:
a) we'd have so much reading material we wouldn't need a kindle
b) it's a good talking point, we'd never be lost for a conversation
c) no one messes with a tank, except maybe rebels, this may be a flaw in an otherwise wickedly good plan. Maybe if we flew a white flag? Or play classical music as we went?
I love Connie, and she is going to be the best wheels in the world for the Put Foot but I can't help thinking that a rally in a tank made of books is just something one must do...

What's even cooler about this original book tank is that it's designed Argentinian art-car maker Raul Lemesoff and he drives around Argentina giving books for free to anyone that asks for them. People stopped by him on the road can just pull out books as they chose. His aim “to contribute to peace and understanding of people [through literacy]” - how cool is that!
For more on him and this go to the MAKE magazine website from whence this info comes.
