Surprisingly, it is a car. And a rather interesting one at that

Good night shirt tail!

Does it even run?  Looks like it'd be flimsy as heck.....

Sorry, don't know what this one is ... though I do know that I wouldn't drive it ... he heh.

It's the "Firefly" - an electric lantern car made by Eriko Horiki for the Japanese pavillon at EXPO 2000 :)

It's made of washi, a kind of traditional Japanese paper used for origami, lanterns and other handcrafts, and can travel with speed up to 125 km/h supposedly. While running, it's also lit from the inside, like a lantern.

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Very good! TRD had some connection with this project too but my Japanese isn't up to finding out what it was!
