Oddly, I've never been attracted to cars, never have owned one, never 
painted one, only modelled one once and it was barely an offhand four 
hour shot at it.  But I *love* highways.  And highway scenes.  I used to 
hitch-hike extensively when I was young.  And the poetry and drama 
intrinsic to highway scenes always crowded my imagination. The tensions 
of mundanity and modernity, engagement and alienation.  It is in Gilles 
work a lot also of course.

Very interesting subject from a raytracing point of view too.  All the 
regularity of the engineering versus the randomness of the texturing.

truck donations accepted! :)

Quick joke, but actually a pretty cool idea.  And, with all the car 
modelling that goes on, it is not something that has ever been done that 
I know of.  ( althought no doubt I'd be that last *to* know )
