Life-sized Ford Mustang made of snow gets parking ticket

A father and his two teenage sons in Nebraska spent hours building a life-sized Ford Mustang, which received a tow notice.

The car was spotted by State Patrol Sergeant Mick Downing, a friend of the family. After the officer saw them post a photo of the car on social media, he decided to have some fun.

"I thought I'd pull a prank on them by putting an 'intent to tow notice' on it, asking the driver to remove the vehicle in 24 hours or it would get towed," Downing said. "Not that I was going to tow a huge chunk of ice; that thing must weigh a ton! It's a life-sized replica of a Ford Mustang! It's quite a work of art, we all thought it was really neat."

Jason Blundell, the 43-year-old father and a concrete-plant manager, spent five hours with his sons building the icy Mustang, using a Bobcat to pile the snow and concrete tools to shape it.
