Driveway Art or Transformers Gone Wild?

Driveway Art - you might not see it in your suburb, but you can't go far in the older areas of Austin without seeing something unusual.

Well, sometimes what you see is usual - junk - old cars - hundreds of plants in broken pots.

And sometimes, well, what IS IT?

This thing looked to be all metal but it is actually a galvanized metal base with what looks like spray-painted particle board on top - the parts with the holes in them.

So what would you say the inspiration was for this bit of, um, driveway art?

At least this is art for your home that you can throw in the back of the moving truck and haul to your next place that needs something special.
