That's one of the coolest examples of LEGO'ing I've seen!

I wonder how many people and how long it took to assemble?

There were signs covering it saying "DO NOT TOUCH"

There was another sign explaining the whole thing. I took a picture of it - let me see if I can find it.

i like the facts about the weight of it.

its hollow, and it weighs 2,930 lbs. if it were solid, it would weigh much more than 2,930 lbs.

...well, duh!

They did one of those for the Honda Element when it came out, now everybody calls them the lego SUV, how fitting for such an ugle SUV.

Yup! South Coast
If I took one more close-up picure you guys would see that the entire thing is coated in a thin layer of some kind of epoxy/glue. Running into that probably wouldn't be such a good idea - would be fun though
