I went to Colorado this last weekend to attend a wedding.  As we were driving away from Denver International Airport we were greeted by this almost frightening 32 foot sculpture of a blue mustang with glowing red eyes.  My kids exclaimed "What is that?!"

Apparently, in 1992, the city of Denver commissioned the sculpture from artist Luis Jimenez .  After waiting more than a decade for delivery, the city sued Jimenez.  He countersued,  complaining about a city plan to put Mustang inside the airport.  Jimenez had been paid $300,000 of the $450,000 commission. 

The city and the artist were able to work out a schedule last fall to deliver and install the sculpture outside the airport.  Sadly, as Jimenez was nearing the completion of the sculpture, a large piece of it fell on him and he died. 

Now, here it stands, to greet visitors- wow.
