Ron Arad makes 2D art out of cars. Kind of like pressing flowers between the pages of a book.

Reminds me of those Flat Cats you see in novelty stores.

Tip: Don't leave the cat in the car near Ron Arad.

Neat! The full sized squished cars at the end turned out pretty awesome.

David Letterman used to crush things in an hydraulic press, back in the 80's. My fave was the giant plate of pancakes.

There’s a fine line between being an acclaimed conceptual artist and a smart aleck on late-night TV.

I suspect Dave would say the same thing (and not in the sense of glorifying late-night TV smart alecks).
