I can't explain what it is about the picture that makes it look like a scale model rather than a full size vehicle. Something to do with the depth of field perhaps. I didn't say anything before because I thought it might just be my eyes, but then moggiemadman posted what I had been thinking.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

My first time posting a picture. If it works, it should be my 2-door on my wedding day...

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Betty The Bitch in her current sad state of affairs. On his knees before her, you can see yours truly.

Hey bigginger that picture makes it look like a model car xD lol
It's due to the depth of focus- ie how much of the background is in focus. The less focussed the background, and the shallower the depth of focus, the more the image looks like a toy- just because our eyes are preconditioned to associate a shallower focus with a smaller scale.
That's my techie talk for the day! :D

I'm speculating that black is for turbo boost, green for intercooler, red for supercharging, yellow= nitrous, and the blue button is for the parachute when MT needs to slow down ;-)
All correct! Plus the remote on the steering wheel controls, heat seeking missiles, 20mm cannon and radar jammer :D
What?? no ejector seat??
