Pedal To The Medal!: Clever Hot Wheels Ad
Note: Full-res version HERE in case you want to try to read cars' license plates (you still can't though is the thing).
This is a Hot Wheels ad installation from Bogota, Colombia featuring a fake loopty-loop on an overpass. I'm not sure if it was designed to sell toy cars or make people step on the gas and drive recklessly on an overpass, but I assume a combination of both. Unfortunately, my car feels like the engine's going to drop out at any speed over 50, which is why I just taped a bunch of fireworks to the spoiler to get enough momentum to complete the loop. The only question is, which three of you are going to lay in the trunk while I do it? You know, for proper balance. I know stuff -- I took honor's physics in high school. Sure I failed, but still. I'll spray you all with champagne afterward if we don't die horrible deaths!
Hit the jump for a couple pictures of the installation in progress.

This is a Twilight themed window display spotted at a toilet store in Austin, Texas. No word if they previously had a Harry Pooper display. Or a Game of Ceramic Thrones one. 50 Shades of Brown? I'm just gonna stop now. Thanks to carey, who informed me this is probably the ... / Continue →

This is a conceptual time traveling DeLorean taxi. It's not real though (context clue: conceptual), it's just a marketing piece made by Mike Lubrano for Nooka, a "New York based fashion brand with a futuristic philosophy." What exactly IS their futuristic philosophy? Sadly, ... / Continue →
