Key West's most beautiful car

In January, February and March a lot of snow birds are heading to Florida to escape the cold winter and charge their batteries for a week or two.

Most of them stop in Miami, Daytona Beach, St-Augustin while others prefer Boca Raton. We've ventured even more South, to Key West.

All Canadians are having a high deficiency of vitamin D and vitamin Sea. Nothing makes you feel better than cheating on winter. Laying down on the beach, enjoying the heat and sipping on a cocktail, that is a blessing!

When you are away from home it is easy to make friends. Key West is a great place to hang out year round, no doubt about it!

Not even the ocean's cold waters couldn't make us change our good mood. Cold according to the locals, who were used to much warmer waters. For these Canadians, it was just perfect! Refreshing!

One of the unexpected attraction of the island was this fabulous and unique car. According to his proud owner, it took almost three years to have it adorned. All the materials used were caught, collected and prepared for their final decorative role by himself. The paintings were done by him also. Quite a creative soul!

In addition to that, he confessed that he had modified also the engine of the car to have it run at an optimum speed. You don't get to meet a mechanic with such an artistic talent each day!

Needless to add that the car was a magnet for people of all ages, not only the children. This was by far the most beautiful car one can lay eyes on in Key West.

Have a look at the details! Among seashells, starfish, clams, flowers, you may find small alligators and stuffed fish or other small plastic animals.

What do you think about it? Would you be able to drive such a car (maybe not to work) or it would be too much for you?

Beautiful photos! That car has some really crazy decorations. I doubt that would be legal in Europe. 🤣

Over here we tend to forbid things that might put others in danger, while in America it is the opposite, they only forbid things that are safe to the public and approve others that might kill people or get them killed! 🤦‍♂️

Haha, over here a car like that would last for a week before it gets stolen and taken up into Africa my friend.
For warm sea water the KZN province over here is the best place to go (Indian ocean)
We are more on the cold water side (Atlantic ocean)
The two oceans meet here in the western cape province of South Africa.
Blessings!

That's what I said when I first saw the car, that in a different country it won't last more than a week or even less before being either stolen or taken apart. As for the Indian Ocean, I do miss its warm waters. ;0)

Correct and for sure, that car stands no chance here Lol
We used to go down to the Indian ocean during the school holidays every year, but that was long ago and now we are many miles away at the Atlantic.
But I have to say that one can get used to the cold water and it's so different.
Blessings and thank you!
