Photo of the Day: It's a car! It's a buggy! It's both!

Your favorite editor with the bug car in Lynchburg.

Roof of the ant car.

Hood ornament (like, an ant, right?).

Had lunch with some writer and education buds over in Lynchburg today and as we sat in this elegant little tea room (Ploughcroft on Commerce Street), I spotted this car outside. It's a doozy, covered with metal images of ants and their habitat and all of it hand-made.

The car is owned by Randolph College philosophy professor David Schwartz, who was having lunch outside in a sidewalk table with what appeared to be one of his students. Not sure what the point of the car is, but being cool is enough, I suspect.
