Could've seen this coming a mile away.

Interesting.

A buddy in college said his car was actually a Ferreri made to look like a beater so no one would steal it.

Once knew a guy who put a Ferrari engine into a Beetle chassis. He lived for young punks to gun their mustangs or whatever next to him at stoplights, then he'd punch it and leave them wondering what the hell had just happened.

Everybody needs a hobby.

An old friend told me his car was a Mercury Maserati -- dealt much more creatively with my inattention to car models than dates who were deeply offended by the mistakes I made while looking for their cars.

Mercury Maserati? LOL!

Can you see me now?

Apply this stuff to car finishes. I would have fewer speeding tickets.

You can be invisible in plain sight.

Edgar Allen Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle provide us with examples in their writings.

Now, hiding from technology usually requires a bit more work, as shown on Mythbusters.

"they were able to cloak a tiny bump in a layer of gold"

I'd be happy to hide their gold for them. They'd never see it again, guaranteed.

COOL!

LR, watch out. The invisible black helicopters are coming for you.

Making things invisible means that while you are inside the cloak, you can't see out. Kind of a major problem. I suppose you could use ultrasound or some other wavelength to tell what's going on around you.

Back to cars, which are way more interesting than magic cloaks:

I knew a guy in high school who was a few years older than I who had managed to cram an Olds 442 engine into a puke green Gremlin. He used to have to carry sandbags in the hatchback just to keep the rear-end on the ground. The car looked like something you'd find in a Hot Wheels collection and it was capable of 'ludicrous speed'.
