Jim Gansle from Canyon Lake, Texas sent me this photo of a vintage car (along with few more visitors that submit illusions regularly). Seems that the photo really went viral, since lately I stumble upon it very often across the web. Enough on the background of this flick, now let me describe the effect. Once you see this photo, you’ll probably need some time before you spot something very strange in it. I was wondering what is so interesting about this car, but after it hit me (no, not the car, luckily the car didn’t hit me), it all became clear. This is what Jim wrote: “In case you haven’t seen this before. I really enjoy your site - got the widget to tell me when a new one is available. What a fun you would have at intersections. You figure it out. I got a headache”. This will be added to our Transportation category, the one I speak so rarely about.

awesom! very comfusin’ though.
this can’t possibly be real…
OMG!
That is just HARD!
It gives my a headake!
A.T.
My brain is making too much assumptions, it’s confusing.
Neat, though.
This didn’t take me long to work out…
Great, though! I love your site!
i know im not the first post,but any way you were right anonomous this is confusing
‘Shopped.
so they made a sidewayse car?
Pretty cool :D
He’s right. I get a headache too when I look at it long enough!
It’s clearly photoshopped but at first glance you can’t tell, but if you look at it, the middle tire, you can see the fender is pointing towards us and it looks like there is a different fender connected to it. photoshopped
Good Effect. Wonder if it drives.
At first I saw nothing wrong, but then I saw the wheels :P
It didn’t take me no time at all to figure this out though, I’m used to headaches ;]
You are actually looking at the side of the car, notice that the back wheels are the same orientation as the front.
What baffles me is how the driver steers… or if they get a sore neck :P
its really not that hard it looks confussing at friest but the car is normal its just the fornt to tires are just set sidways and the front was made wider
not a very good explination but you get what i mean
exactly my reaction:
what, i don’t get i– wait. WTFF?!
How cool =]
it is confusing
So, Does the car drive sideways?
Photoshopped, you can tell by the fender in the middle, it was like mixed in with the photo with another photo. I win
this is random…
Oh wow. That must be hell to drive..
umm so you hit the gas and the car speeds left? lol
lol.. very nice!
I don’t understand the point in that half wheel, on the middle of the car. It doesn’t seem to make sense with anything else.
Hey! Where did you get a picture of my car?! What’s going on?
look at the wheels
cool but im confused
That is totally… WEIRD!!!
this so confusing!!
Wow. This was really skillful craftsmenship!
If it works if will be very difficult to drive because it will go sideways!
Look at the steeringwheel.
My guess is that it really works, but is illegal to drive.
lol its cool but weird
V-
“This will be added to our Transportation category, the one I speak so rarely about.”
Link goes to “transparent” not transportation….
nice:!) im sure i understand this, but then i read all the comments saying photoshopped rofl like the silly people they are, and then also about headaches and confusion:P yeh its nice and confusing but like one poster said, its just the side of the care ( with windscreen wipers on the side windows :P im sure the seats in side point the right way no?
It’s not real, the tires up front would be face forward, not sideways.
If you guys would just do some background checking on the validity of the pic, you would find out that it is indeed a REAL car built sideways. just because something looks funny or different doesnt always mean its photoshopped. SHEESH!
Is this real?
Love that one!
You surely need a special driving licence to drive that!
you should put a counter for how many knobs try to be smartasses by saying “photoshopped”. i count 3 on this one. have some imagination.
great car for finding a parking place. :-)
It’s very obviously photoshopped but still kinda cool. I like it!!!
it’s not photoshopped. anonymous no.25 said that was his car.
P.s none of your explinations make sense
PP.s this is wierd
PPP.s this makes my head hurt
PPPP.s i like doing alot of P.s’s
PPPPP.s as you can see i like doing a lot of P.s,’s (like I said above)
PPPPPP.s i forgot what i was going to say now. Oh well
PPPPPPP.s this is a lot
a crab car!
WIERD
That is so cooll but my head hurts
this took me secodns to figure, een though i thought i wouldnt find it for ages!!!!!!!!! SOOOO WEIRD
Indeed, I am eager to see this car in different angle. It breaks all of my cognition to a sedan. God, please do not do this to my BMW. Amen.
