Squished!?! They're not squished! They're just blurry because EpiqTodd is going so freakin' fast! You should know that just by looking at his spoiler! Are you suggesting that Todd is not being truthful, and that he really never had a Mini-Boxster at all?!?! I, for one, am offended by the implication.

Simmer down, both of you. It's a well known effect for very fast cars such as the Boxster. Read up on General Theory of Relativity. Space-time (including the objects in it) deforms (or "squishes") as the Boxster approaches the speed of light. I've done it couple of times myself and, let me tell you, all that squishing and stretching wreaked havoc with my back.

The new Mini Porsches are pretty cool but lay your eyes on this bad boy. The German Military has been trying to keep it on the down low.

Sure it isn't an illusion... kind of like when you shake a pencil/pen up and down in front of your face???

I think you may be right with the "General Theory of Relativity", but I'm too afraid to go that fast... Not to mention it adds 10 lbs to my face.
