What I saw was the front end squat down with the front tires pointing outwards like a snowskier trying to scrub speed. What I thought I saw was the car bending in the middle and the rear tires taking on an interesting angle.

It may be an optical illusion but I think I witnessed technological magic.

Picture isn't showing.
