This boombox car is the perfect way to let people in traffic know how much you love your music.

This creative vehicle is actually listed for sale on Craigslist for $13,500. I won't weigh in whether that's a reasonable price for the boombox car, as I don't have much experience pricing boombox conveyance, but can you really put a price on driving a stereo around town? The boombox car was a staple at the past few Burning Man art festivals, and can actually work. Apparently it is also completely street legal.

You definitely have to look into acquiring this boombox car if you're competing with 80s era John Cusack for the affections of a lady. Why hold up a boombox when you pull one up the driveway instead?
