Description: Title:  Hovering ‘Round Town My doodad sculpture is a hovering car.  This hovering car represents flying into the future because I have heard that these types of flying cars will be made in the realistic future.  And of course, the hover car flies! My build is a car hovering past the city that looks like today, this represents a mixture of past (the obsolete objects), present (the city) and future (the flying car). It also shows that our city is always improving and changing. I was tempted to use a roll of film coming out the back of the car as exhaust. Then I realized that if this car is our future it should be completely healthy for our environment, running on renewable resources.
