The best part about cupcakes is eating them. The second best part is driving around in one. Oh wait, you can’t do that with most cupcakes, but you sure can in the Cupcake Car!
Produced by Neiman Marcus and designed by Lisa Pongrace (who created them originally for Burning Man), the Cupcake Car looks too good to drive. This road-worthy confection runs on an electric motor and is probably the most ridiculous thing ever. With a top speed of only 7 mph, there is no need to fret getting a speeding ticket.
