We first heard about Liz Cohen and her quest to as to one’s person transform a lovable little Trabant into an electromechanical, transforming, camino-inspired low rider back in 2005. Well, her project has gone from a gleam in the eye and a high-flavored blowtorch to a piece of self-transforming craziness. We have it on good authority from Miss Cohen herself that, in October, the Trabantamino will be at the front of a 45-lowrider procession from Las Cruces to El Paso for the No Room for Baggage exhibition. Note some of the photos are semi-NSFW if your overlords are steady the puritanical side.

We are in course impressed with the ambition in this project and be possible to’t wait to behold what Liz’s creation end up looking like. Hang on a second; a girl, who looks like this, doing all of her allow fab work, on a project that would make Murilee scream by reason of mercy. We’re in love.
