Flutterby™! : Real life Pizza Planet truck

Yeah, all you Pixar folks have already seen the real thing, but: Pixar fans make real Pizza Planet truck. I've got a particular fondness for the Pizza Planet truck because one of my favorite scenes in the Toy Story Animated Storybook, and also one that involved a bunch of codec tweaking, was the gas station. The appearance of the Pizza Planet truck (and, if my memory serves correctly, some of the different states the vehicle could place the scene in) was a part of some of those codec tweaks, and the rest of the gags in the Woody & Buzz fight scenes were my favorites in the Storybook.

And, the number of in-jokes in and around that vehicle is pretty amazing, from the obvious "Uh, how do I get to Cutting Boulevard", to the license plate and... well, I've probably said too much already.

My only complaint with the vehicle these fans built is that it's a little too clean and shiny. I realize they tried to muddy it up, but my read on the truck is that you've really gotta rust those rear quarter panels almost through, and go at the tailgate with a sledge hammer...
