The Golden Mean Snail Car by Kyrsten Mate, Jon Sarriugarte and Empire of Dirt - formandreform.com/empire-of-dirt/

The Golden Mean Snail Car is a giant hot rod art car built by a group of artists in West Oaklan's Kraftworks building in 2008. Conceived of in a dream by artist Kyrsten Mate, this extraordinary vehicle was fabricated by Kyrsten, her husband Jon Sarriugarte, and the artist members of Empire of Dirt. This surprising vehicle takes its name from the golden ratio (sqrt(5)+1)/2, a mathematical proportion that's said to produce aesthetically pleasing art and architecture. Built on a 1966 VW bug chassis, the Golden Mean Snail Car features seating for six, rein-triggered fire shooting eye stalks, and a signature antiqued patina finish.
