If driving is your full time job and you are given a 4 wheel drive rally car , this sort of thing is not that impressive.
The impressive thing about this is that as a society we are happy to have the super rich rub it in our faces and we just go along with it and celebrate it.


Cynic much? Just smile and watch the nice car do things you could never make it do.

^The Battersea Power Station is really cool. Ian McKellan used it in the ending of his version of Richard III.

also put to surreally good use for the film Children of Men

That Herb Albert album cover is legendary. I was just over at my friend's place last night, and he has that album framed next to the Johnny Cash album Live at Folsom Prison which is also a pretty awesome cover. Not that it's overly stylized, but knowing it's a close up picture taken at the live prison concert of him sweating and most likely in mid-song makes it all the more cooler.

I really dig the Revolver album cover from The Beatles. It used to be in my father's LP collection when I was a kid, and I always thought it was trippy. And, I really love the Pink Floyd Animals album, because eventhough it appears to be a painting, it's really a photograph. From Wikipedia: "The giant, helium-filled pig seen on the cover was actually flown over Battersea Power Station for the photo shoot."
