Montreal police bamboozled by a car sculpted out of snow

A Canadian artist had great fun fooling local police recently, after creating a remarkably realistic car from freshly fallen snow. Simon Laprise, an artist, mechanical engineer and car enthusiast, crafted the vehicle in a snow-removal zone, where it's illegal to park.

The work of art, which loosely resembles an iconic DeLorean, gained a finishing touch in the form of a real windscreen wiper, which Laprise found on the floor while crafting the project.
