    Ok, I realise this has NOTHING to do with cars at all and moderators feel free to remove it if need be. My mom sent me this, and from an engineering standpoint it is increadable.

    So what if it's OT, I would never have seen that if you didn't let us know. Thanks for posting! Guys like that inspire me to try and think outside the box. Now whether or not I succeed...

    Fascinating blend of art and very sophisticated engineering. He's right about the divison being in our minds, but most of us that could do the Kinematics wouldn't be able to free hand sketch a recognizable dog. It's a right brain vs. left brain thing.
     
  20. now if we took the wind blown and swapped a blown hemi nah!
