Crash Bonsai: Carnage in Miniature

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

Tiny bonsai trees are meant to evoke the peace and tranquility of a Japanese garden. And what could be more peaceful and tranquil than wrecking a car in a Japanese garden? Crash Bonsai creates these miniature zen-inducing crash scenes by melting, warping and crushing die-cast cars and wrapping them around those tiny trees. Prices on these diminutive wrecks range from 50 to 125 bucks. I guess it's nothing you couldn't do yourself with a bench vise and a couple of Hot Wheels, but on the other hand there's a lot of art you could say that about. See more pics below the jump!

Man, I did that to the hot wheels cars I didn't like as a kid. I wish I would have known that I could have made 120 bucks a pop for one.
