DJ Mobile Car Speeds Along On Sound Rockets
Posted by Sean Fallon at 8:40 AM on September 3, 2008
For many enthusiasts, pimping out car sound systems (and even bicycles in some circles) is a time-honoured tradition. However, Dutch artist Olaf Mooij may have taken this pastime to extreme new levels with his DJ Mobile. Inspired by the Popemobile and the song "God is a DJ" by Faithless, Mooij created a rolling PA system complete with two turntables and several gigantic speakers that look more like rockets. Details are scarce on the system itself, but it does appear that interested parties can rent out the system for loud and obnoxious events. [Olaf Mooij via Born Rich via DVICE]

Isn't pimping out a Gremlin a little like shaving a little black truffle on your Jimmy Dean chocolate chip pancake and sausage on a stick? Isn't it??

That's how to make friends in your neighborhood, especially when you provide music to sleep by at 2AM.

I would like to rent this puppy, and cruise through a neighborhood populated by people that like LOUD bass. At 8 a.m. It would be a public service. And I might even survive.

To proper place to "exhibit" Dutch artist Olaf Mooij's creation would be, of course, the Holland Tunnel... at 6pm with this playing...

Either that car has some mad texture on the back half or the worst orange peal paint job ever.

@deftonesboy360: I'm not even sure that's metal? Looks like the housing for the (ridiculous) speakers. Could be some sort of plastic or something?

Yeah, when you get up close, you notice the finish isn't brilliant. Cool idea, though.
@ANoel: love me some Rammstein!
