Hard to believe a car can be made out of a tree? Well, you can see the Cedar Rocket for yourself in Kelowna this June.

The Guiness world record-holding log car, made out of a 240-year-old Red Cedar, will be rolling into Kelowna June 3 as a main attraction at a Canadian Kidney Foundation fundraiser.
