What started as an idea quickly turned to reality when artist Nic Hunziker located a donor GT3 for his “Art Car” project. Over the last 9 days Nic, along with co-pilot and FLATSIXES.com contributor Brett Sloan, drove the newly acquired 996 GT3 from Nova Scotia back to L.A. Along the way they covered:
- 9 Days
- 4856.6 Miles
- 2 Countries
- 19 US States
- Consumed 211 gallons of premium fuel
- Averaged 23 MPG
- Managed to get through it all with just 1 speeding ticket

914 baking in the desert. Look at the upside: There’s probably little rust.

Energy bars don’t count as fruit, right?

Never leave your dirty GT3 behind, always take it with you.
