Wow, that's cool. It actually looks very well done. Not my cup of tea, but cool none the less.

That's taking the whole "Going Green" think just a bit too far.

On the bright side, if everyone had grass on their cars, we'd be able to tell who was full of sh_t and who wasn't...

.... all depending on how tall the grass was.

The taller the grass, the more full of crap you are...

As far as being a "Greener vehicle", (if that was his statement) the jokes on him, with the added drag coefficient of that surface, is his MPG just dropped about 5-6 mpg.

But the local dogs and cats will like it
