The Houston Art Car Parade has been held annually since May 1986, in Houston, Texas. This year's showing included all sorts of weird and wonderful creations, the banana car (above) - which was built to raise money and awareness for Deep Vein Thrombosis - was a big favourite amongst the revellers.
Here's the pick of some of our other favourites that captured our imagination.
This purple monster looking thing deserves a mention for pure wackyness...
This sunflower car brings new meaning to the phrase 'green car'...
I guess you could say that this entry was the star of the show...
The visibility in this peacock car leaves a lot to be desired. Ten out of ten for campness though...
This one gets a special mention simply because it looks more like a boat than most boats...
And finally, keep it gangster...
