How to ruin a perfectly good Maserati:
cover it in 1700 lbs of glass!

C'mon, it's a Maserati Quattroporte covered with 1,763 lbs. of shattered glass – truly a sight one does not see every day. But it's also an exquisite Italian luxury sedan sacrificed at the alter of modern art. The piece currently sits outside the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and welcomes guests to the second Moscow Art Biennale that runs from March 1st through April 1st.

Sure it looks cool, but the same effect could have been had with a $400 dollar Civic...

Leave it to communists to ruin a symbol of capitalism, and a beautiful car at that.

They definitely don't need a "Do Not Touch" sign.

Anyone know how much it would cost to do this? I think I'll get this done instead of getting a car alarm and trying to figure out how to put in my kill switch.
