At first, and even second or third glance, this white object looks like a car covered in a protective auto blanket, but be assured, there is no vehicle hidden underneath.

The structure is actually hollow. It's a car-shaped tent which makes a great secret fort for an urban setting. It would be ideal for someone who loves the concept of camping, but can't handle the thought of leaving the concrete jungle, or perhaps can't get sufficient time off work for a getaway in the mountains.

The only thing I wonder is what happens when the wind picks up or a semi truck blasts by? You can't well drill pegs into the asphalt.

A neat concept, yet don't expect to be seeing these around any time soon.
