I really love the ones turned into planters. Hardly original anymore, but still.

What was the deal with the Merzcar. I know he sold it for $20,000 and there was something about the CD player being welded shut but that's it.
― Edward Saroyan, Monday, 4 May 2009 21:52 (fifteen years ago) link
I think that's it, actually, because I also know it was in fact a Mercedes.
I had to spend a day spraying this thing with water to re-ice it. Definitely a singular experience.

Here's the story with the Merzcar:
According to Anders, the owner of The Releasing Eskimo, there was a special limited edition version of Noisembryo released in an edition of one (1) copy. It has since become known as the Merzcar. Anders states:"A while ago I had a Mercedes 230 that I didn't drive much. The police told me that I had to move it or they'd tow it away. Well, I didn't want to keep it and I didn't have anywhere to store it so I decided to use it for something else. I rigged the car's CD player with our latest release of Merzbow's "Noise Embryo" CD so that the music started when the car was turned on and it was impossible to turn it off. I put it up for sale as an extremely limited edition of the "Noise Embryo" CD but no one ever bought it, and in the end the car broke down. So we took out the CD and got rid of the car. Now I'm thinking about if it's possible to release a record in a Boeing 747..."
