The effect: three terrain vehicles below appear different in size because of the surrounding environment. This is because of depth perception our brain automatically processes. Now take something to measure them, and you’ll realize they are exactly the same.

Back when the only Potter worth talking about was Maureen.
And the only car to be seen in was a Mirafiori.
Sez You Tuber TecMovie:
Clips taken from road safety film 1974, narrated by Maureen Potter. I edited out the boring bits and strung together clips with Fiat cars. The original film was obviously sponsored by Fiat Ireland.

On the Stillorgan Dual Carriageway, Co Dublin, literally minutes ago.
A Mercedes-Benz 300SL ‘Gullwing’, Porsche Spyder and pre-war Auto Union Grand Prix racer made entirely from reclaimed car parts and random bits of scrap metal by German firm Giganten Aus Stahl – exhibited at this years Frankfurt Motor Show.
Scrap, but not cheap. The Gullwing costs €69,000 and you can tow the Porsche and Auto Union away for €39,000 and €54,000 respectively.

Mute: The Silence Of Dogs In Cars by London photographer Martin Usborne: a simple but nonetheless poignant series of images. Chompsky was very upset, but we cracked open the driver’s side window and he eventually fell asleep.
When I started this project I knew the photos would be dark. What I didn’t expect was to see so many subtle reactions by the dogs: some sad, some expectant, some angry, some dejected. It was as if upon opening up a box of grey-coloured pencils I was surprised to see so many shades inside.
Photoshoppers on the Final Gear Forum have had fun inverting the upper half of various vehicles: essentially flipping each chassis front to back.
Some of the results are vaguely plausible, some are like bubble-fronted 1950s concepts, others just look plain hideous.
