Carhenge Is Nowhere Close to Stonehenge

England's Stonehenge can be pretty underwhelming to see in person, and Alliance, Nebraska's parody of the ancient structure happens to be even more of a letdown. A replica known as Carhenge was created here by Jim Reinders as a memorial to his father in 1987. The vintage cars that were spray-painted gray to match the color of stone is certainly an interesting piece of art, but it's pretty underwhelming in person too.

Like many smaller tourist traps, It's little more than a roadside attraction, and is hardly worth the extra mile to specifically go and see. This is also taking into account the fact that, unlike Stonehenge, people are constantly climbing the cars and making their own "artful" additions.
