Puzzle Description:

A test of my theory that it takes little more than two headlights and a windshield to make a blob recognizable as a car. Not entirely a successful test - I need to squint at it.

Maybe it's a stretch limo?

I think it is rather succesful

You're right that headlights and windshield make it easily recognizable, but the back looks a little blob-ish.

I agree i think it is rather sucessful and i think you did a good job

Looks a little like a limo. I like how you didn't go for the easy box shaped image. So what if it's a little blob-ish, it makes a more realistic image. Thanks Jan :)

The title helps a ton. Once the idea is planted, the brain carries the thought and shapes sensory input to conform to the idea. It IS a car.

I see it!

vroooom, thx for the puzzle =>)

My first attempt at a puzzle larger than 10 x 10. Took some thinking. The title had me thinking I knew what I was looking for and I'm satisfied with the outcome. Good puzzle.

I agree that the back end could use a bit of work in reshaping, especially around the rear tire, but I got immediately that it was a car, once I got the front end aligned, so to speak. ;) I didn't even read the title until I saw it referenced in the comments, by the way. I seldom look at the titles, as I, more oftne than not, simply hit the button for a random puzzle and start working.

Also, I'm glad I don't typically read comments until I'm finished with a puzzle, because a lot of the comments that are spoilers/hints here aren't labeled as such.

I re-solved this puzzle while debugging some code, and couldn't believe what a bad job I did on the back end of this poor vehicle. It looks like it recently got chased by a T-Rex and didn't entirely get away. What was I thinking?

you were testing a theory... that's what you were thinking. :)

I like it quite a lot!

it looks like a line of oncoming traffic and I think it's great.

Nice job.

I recognized it right away, but that might be because of the title. Good job on testing the theory, the fact that it's a little malformed might actually help that.

Oncoming traffic is going to be on the other side of the road in most places ;)

Minivan, maybe ;)

Articulated van?

I agree, good job.
