The installation is a collaboration between Michael Mark Rippie and artist Chad Sorg.

The car forest is open all times for viewing pleasure.

Rippie is now behind bars, sentenced last November to two years in federal prison for violating gun laws.

Sorg went to Reno, where he’s reportedly working on a Motel.
